I am not really sure about this but the Baloch are saying that the sister and niece of Brahmadagh Bugti ahs also been target killed in Karachi, maybe they are referring to this:
According to details, some unidentified attackers opened fire at a car bearing number ANR 353 ne Guzri Bridge, killing three people including two women. The dead included Zomar, wife of Balochistan MPA Sardar Bakhtiya Ahmad Domki, his daughter Jannan and driver Barkat. The family members of Sardar Bakhtiya Ahmad Domki were in Karachi to participate in the marriage ceremony of Speaker Sindh Assembly’s daughter. **Sardar Bakhtiya Ahmad Domki is grandson of Sardar Akbar Khan Bugti. Commenting soon after the killing incident Bakhtiya Domki said that now the females of their family are also being targeted.**In another incident near Power House Chorangi in North Nazimabad, unidentified motorcyclists opened fire on a jeep, critically injuring three people. The injured were rushed to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital in police mobile and private ambulances where all of them succumbed to their wounds. The dead were identified as Irfan, Adeel and Adnan. According to eye-witnesses the attackers were riding on two motocycles and opened fire at the jeep from two sides.
The state and law enforcement is complicit in the persecution of shias in Pakistan.
I don’t know why the media refers to the sectarianism in Pakistan as “sunni-shia violence”. The reality is that the sectarian violence in Pakistan has always been one-sided and the overwhelming majority of victims have been shia. Shias have hardly ever massacred people at a sunni mosque or carried out target killings of high profile sunnis because of their sunni sectarian affiliation.
Is it sarcasm?
Because murders are not sectarian as well as political. Three MQM workers itself were killed too.
MQM must have killed its own workers because no one else kills in Pakistan.
(now that is sarcasm).
That is not sarcasm, that is reality. Everyone knows that top mqm leaders including Imran Farooq and tons of mqm workers were also killed by mqm. Ever heard of this salogan:
And I think the conclusion that they are are only targeting people belonging to the Shia sect is a little over the top. Two Sunni Tehreek workers were killed the other day and also the killing of Mir Bakhtiar Domkis wife and daughter was carried out yesterday. Having said that nothing justifies the Shia or Sunni killings. It is just plain wrong. The past month passed rather peacefully in this aspect but the tragedies are back again. Lets hope not for long.
Its not jo Altaf ka ghaddar hai.. its jo ‘Jo quaid ka ghaddar hai’.
Anyway, this phenomena (killing their own ppl) is also evident in other so-called political parties including PPP. As some reports make us believe that MQM kills their own ppl, there was a report that Bilawal House Security Incahrge Khalid Shahnshah was killed because he knew something important about BB’s murder.
the target killing is getting more and more complex with the passage of time, in addition to ppp, mqm, anp, we have now got sunni tehreek, LJ, TTP and BLA as well.
RD Bro! you know I’m not a MQM fan, but over the period intolerance has increased in all political parties. But there is something fishy in PPP’s top leadership that make them take strong action against murderers of BB. From sidelining BB’s nearest PPP members to killing of people like Khalid Shehnshah are some points that make PPP leadership suspicious.
Coming to the topic, Sunni Tehreek has annouced a Dharna before CM House tomorrow.
Bcoz authorities not investigating for the murder of their party’s people. Its a norm in Karachi to have Dhrana during office hours before Governor house & CM house, etc every week.
Latest news: Dharna at Governor house by teachers.
Why these good for noting CM / Governor houses shifted outside city
