Over here on GS and among people in Karachi too I am seeing people actually defending the owner and blaming everything on bhatta maafia. Whatever the cause may be short circuit , boiler pressure vessel explosion or any foul play the owners / top management of the factory should have taken proper measures for fire protection/exit system in the factory and should have made proper plans to deal with any such calamity.

If any body is a memon or whatever does not automatically make that person an angel these people have made billions out of their businesses and a little expenditure on fire protection system wouldn’t hurt them.

Why blame this single factory owner in Pakistan when not a single building in Pakistan except for some five star hotels and large bank head quarters are fitted with appropriate fire fighting equipment like smoke detectors and sprinkles. Even these five star hotel and bank head quarters have closed most of the exit points for security concerns and mostly maintain only on entry/exit point. Just imagine if this exit point is blocked in case of fire everyone inside the building will be practically stranded.

As far as memons are concerned.. there contribution to our national economy is commendable. They have generated huge business and employment opportunities in Pakistan. I have utmost respect for garment exporters as they generate a lot of employment under very challenging environment where buyers hesitate to come to Pakistan.

Please in our ritual of bashing legal business in Pakistan.. let’s not forget the ground realities of our country..
