They wanted Pakistan for this?

I happened to be one of the witness of this violence yesterday. Although the incident was abrupt with much destructiveness but it felt like people were somewhat having a good time. May be because they are used to violence and the old city area has particularly been the centre of all kinds of conflicts in the past. I wonder why the rallies have to be held in this part of the city all the time. Is it because the older towns are free for everyone to exploit. These things never dare happen in the posh areas of the city where rich and elites of the country dwell. This goes on to show the extend to which these violent activities are made by design artificially for political reasons. Just exploit as much of the free land and as many of the free people for the cheap propaganda and political gains.

I am ashamed to be a Pakistani:(

This Pakistan is the representative of what Politicians want it to look like. The people are far different from all of this. We want peace and we want security. A civil war is so on its way now! Not to mention, these politicians are influenced by external factors as well as their own lust for unjust power and black money!

Sham! Nobody knows who opened fire?

I am not a pakistani, but I study the history of pakistan carefully. now pakistans main problem is PPP under Zardari, a shameful coward political leader in the entire pakistan history, the discrimination in pakistani society and the senoir pakistani army officers , who actually do not serve the purpose of pakistan but western power. But the general peoples pakistan are the finest minded people of the world. Only the pakistani youth can change this system. they should study why Bengal separated from pakistan in 1971. the same history now repeated in Sindh and beluchistan.

So sorry

Failure of present government to bring any sense of law and order to any part of Pakistan, apart from its rulers shopping extravaganza abroad, they have failed Pakistan. No doubt every single Pakistani wants to flee the country as future is dark and life will be in stone age with no power and no jobs. No food security and unending loot and plunder. People like Zardaari, Gilani, Malik and Awan will flee when Kayani will open his eyes and brain togetherr

What you are witnessing is "The end of a Nation"

violence revisits Karachi... IT NEVER LEFT

And what have you done to stop this? Perhaps you also voted for the PPP government. It is not you who should be ashamed but Pakistan is ashamed of you.

when we dont have stable economy and polity , trouble makers have field day. India also had few pockets of such violence in few location but with time people have learned to shun the trouble makers. I hope pakistan will also realise who are the real enemy and will learn to deal with them and prevent such violence.

Stopped being a typical Pakistani because most they can do is "ashamed" all the time......get out and DO SOME THING!

Americans fought a civil war in which they expected a quick and easy victory and a swift resolution to the fighting.. It lasted four years. In Sudan and Yemen the fighting has gone on for decades. Everything possible should be done to avoid civil war or revolution in Pakistan. The wealthy in Pakistan do not take these problems too seriously because they are just an airline ticket away from relatives in Britain and America. Even India I expect would allow Pakistani money to enter the country. Hong Kong here we come.

Law and order is the real problem. Karachi probably has 125,000 people who are a part of organized crime in addition to petty criminals. The police force cannot police 13 million people, so so they don't try. The police recently refused to work in Quetta and Balochistan. The army needs to take charge there and in Karachi to backup the police. The army are the people who would have to quell a revolution or civil war. Better they start now than start too late. The president administration is on the scale. Zardari jet sets around the world for photo opportunities, while Malik warns of a Mongol invasion and Gilani is still looking for his backbone.

"It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it." -- Patrick Henry

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." -- Thomas Jefferson

Never Fear. Interior Minister Rehman Malik has authorised the formation of an investigation team to probe the incident involving a gun-attack on a political rally brought out by Sindhi nationalist party, Awami Tehrik, in Karachi, DawnNews reported on Wednesday. He is taking rapid action.

Right on the money, every thing in Pakistan is orchestrated. No one but people are to be blamed, as long as they re-elect corrupt politicians over and over again nothing will change. It is time to give chance to someone else.

why don't violence visits 70 Clifton?

People get the government they deserve

When are mangos going to explode again?

Certainly not! But, does anybody extract the truth or the "ghost" hand/s behind this kind of disruption and mayhem? If so, please expose the CULPRITS (for God's sake!) and let the whole world know that whoever is playing this dirty game with Pakistan and Pakistanis will eventually pay for it.

Certainly not! However, does anybody want to even try to find the hand (or hands) behind this disruptive activity going on for years now? If so, please expose the culprits and bring them to justice, and let the whole world know that whosoever is indulging in this kind of ugly manipulations against Pakistan and Pakistanis will eventually be punished by the Lord Almighty.

Why be ashamed to be a Pakistani. People who do this are a bunch of thugs, who are illiterate, terrorists who are running free in our beloved City.

Pakistan is becoming failed state & to reverse its journey to it its leaders must imbibe the value of tolerance to faith,ideas,political views.

Sarqa, you should be a proud citizen of pakistan and hope that one day we will bring a prosperity and peace in this country.

very well pakistani people are to decide their destiny...Allah has given mankind intellect to use brain. I do not believe politicians are only to be blamed. Who bring leaders to power? When someone says gainst slam then there are riots and protest on streets. When a crime is committed then people are quiet....

Whether the violence leaves or revisits it does not decrease the shining of Karachi at least for me because Karachi is not a city but a country for me, we have no other place to go in Pakistan because no one is willing to accept us as a resident partner in their area.

Ah that too critical situation in karachi.and there is no solution for these bad situation.govt doesnt take any action..it is really bad.some peoples assailant from one sides and they opened fire on the innocent people..where is govt at atime..

Very well said. Pakistan is going from bad to worst. Let us think what we the people can do(Nothing) Pakistan never had UNITY, FAITH & DISCIPLINE for what Qaid-e-Azam took independence. Where is the ammunition coming for the citizens for Pakistan to fight and kill each other, from the Army and USA. The US are the biggest culprits for all what is happening in our country, they want complete control of our country as they want to be near China, as they are scared of China. We have alot of problems in our country, for whom we are to be blamed.

This is Pakistan! where only the lives of politicians, high ups of the government & police officials are precious. We the poor people are only insects in-front of them. Our lives are of no worth, we have no dignity no pride nothing is for us. After every such incident committees are formed but none of those have ever given any result since the beginning of Pakistan. Thanks to our leaders thank you very much.
