An strike in Karachi cost financial loss. Daily wages labor and worker pay the cost. Street vendor lost business on that day. Shoemaker sits in his home. Ice creme seller goes nowhere.
Re: Karachi Shutdown - Threats of strike call from MQM
MQM’s universal hostage-taking tool for an otherwise vibrant and productive city. In any other country, the dictation of an outsider and meddling in internal affairs would have rendered the party blacklisted until reformed, and its’ supposed leader sought on international warrants. We can hope.
