karachi's Mayhem Continues

Once it was called as "city of lights" and people also used to call him as hub of trading and peace. But alas! the city has lost its peace, vigor and identity. it is very sad  that karachi has given shelter to all orphans but no one has given karachi its true texture and originality. The bloodbath in metropolis continues endlessly. Neither anybody admits these killings nor anybody is fixed by state. The horror continues for sometimes and after brief interval resumes with all horrific stories. Government promises for lasting peace but fails miserably.

The plight of common man already shattered by the uneven economic practices further sinks down when government can't fulfill its primary constitutional requirement to protect the "haves and haves not " of the people of this country. The law enforcement agencies who draw billions from public treasury turn out to be spectators and maintain their composure as nothing has happened. The political forces blame each other for this unholiness  and free themselves from any responsibility. If political forces deny from any involvement then it is  big slap on their own faces because who are these coveted faces making the lives of  their voters uncomfortable and miserable.

It is common perception that these miscreant elements belong from land and drug mafia. Indeed, if they are do they have power to challenge the writ of the government by large every now and then. Do they have all sophisticated arms and ammunition to improvise their vested interests. If they have then who is pioneering and sponsoring these huge sums. It seems government is aware of all these myths but question is why it is not being unfolded. Doesn't it seem an unheralded and proxy war on state itself. The country already invested trillions on the name of national security can't stop the unannounced terrorism by these handful lot then aren't we living in fools paradise and live in state of denial and presume that we have nukes for our internal and external security.

The country can't afford any misadventure in this cosmopolitan city. It is the gateway of the country  and is hub of trade. It contributes hefty transfers to the national exchequer beside employing millions of the countrymen for their bread and butter. It is the most plural and multi-ethnic city and one has to co-exist if lasting peace to prevail. Any panic amongst each other can seriously lead towards jeopardy and can alarm the national integrity and sanctity of the country.

The helm of affairs of city demands collective wisdom from all the stakeholders belonging to any race, religion, creed and political parties to sit, sort and solve the issue and begin an era of brotherhood, peace, co-existence and national pride. The civil society and businessmen do have to tighten the rope on road to prosperity and progress. The city nesting nearly  20 million people pleads for harmony.
