The biggest culprit allowing this menace to continue is the police force. Policemen are appointed on the basis of party affiliations. This is what traders are saying.
So who is appointing such policemen who are accomplices with extortionists?
Why is police under pressure to let extortionists play havoc in the city? Who is doing it?

Economic activities in Karachi shrinking fast: traders

Talking to Business Recorder, a number of traders at the old city area markets showed disappointment over the weak police action against what they said powerful extortionists in the metropolis, saying that “businesses are facing historic threats to its existence in Karachi.”

In a statement on Thursday, AKTI Chairman said police should be given permission to take indiscriminate action against criminals and remarked their performance could never improve** if they remain under pressure from their high ups**.

The biggest losers in all of this would be the residents of Karachi. Businessmen will only move to other areas within the country or abroad where they will think they will have better law and order, but i Dont think many people within the city care about what their future would be in the midst of terrorism and bhatta.
