Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

I wonder if this ethinic target killings will ever stop in Karachi. According to some here, fourth largest party is involved in these killings and IK is now want to part of this killings, the merciless killer, and others here blowing the “murli” of great alliance on the basis of anti american sentiments. It is a shame.

sad :( use of rocket seems like a new trend...is it? i never heard of that happening b4.

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

And i wonder what PPP's govt in center and in Sindh is doing to stop this violence... if i am not wrong 1000s have been killed in the Karachi-target-killings since PPP govt have taken over in Center and Sindh... (lets not talk what earlier govt did or not did, they are out because they fail) what have they done to stop it in last 3+ years, apart from sending Rehman Malik to Karachi and making Zulfiqar Mirza issuing silly statements, while both are in position to do something about it...

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

You are so peeved over Imran Khan saying a word or two to praise Altaf's stance on Raymand, what about your party's (PPPs) own stance on forming an alliance with the MQM?

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

This is really getting out of control. If Govt can not contain it, they should call Army in there. Use of rocket has just added new dimension to it too.

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

I have never been in favour of such alliances. My posts are clear on that. I even said that PPP should sit in opposition rather than making alliances with killers and criminals. But hey, I don't control PPP. It surprised me a lot for sudden u-turn regarding alliance with IK with the killers. This will never going to help him to take-off.

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

No .It's not.It's not a new trend at all.

Though Rocket attacks are not common in Karachi,such attacks have happened over there many times.

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

This is not a new dimension and a not a new trend at all.This is one of the rarest incidents,though.

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

its new for Karachi

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

Imran has clearly said 'No alliance with MQM', read his tweets...

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

^ He will only ally with Taliban and Jamat e Islami.

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

Qatal-o-gharat ka bazaar garam hay. It is a shame people kill each other just because of different culture and language. What happened to Islam, and Muslim brotherhood?

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

No yaaar.This is not a new thing for Karachi. It had hapened in 2007 and 2009.... This may be a new thing in the year 2011....

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

Alliance with Taliban - a brain fart due to your hatred for Imran and pakhtuns

Alliance with JI - I see no issues with that, considering your MQM has formed alliance with pretty much everyone, from feudal, to industrialists to wardi wallaz. JI’s chief isnt some convicted murderer hiding in Lun-dun.

p.s. now zardari and altaf hussain want dialogue with the taliban too :hehe: so from now on I should call him Altaf ‘Taliban’ Hussain!

Re: Death toll rises to 15 in Karachi violence

So far 166 have been killed this month. This ethinic target killings now seems to be bigger problem than taliban’s suicidal bombings. Army should withdraw from North Waziristan, and start its operation from 90 the center of terror in Karachi, should cover whole karachi and clean it from these merciless killers.
