They did it before (2007) and they did it again (2009) — to the city of Karachi, the heart of Pakistani.
While Jamat-e-Islami’s secretary general Liaqat Baloch is holding press conference with the toes on MQM, the city mourns in the damage of 50 families of the death victims and 25000 victims of the lost businesses.
Background
This is yet again a thought provoking and interesting fact that the Government of Sindh, under the booby & dumb chief minister, Qaim Ali Shah, shown another round of demo exactly after 730 days (after two years of 27th December 2007 – BB’s shahadat) by keeping a criminal silence, criminal negligence and putting the residents of Karachi, the citizens of Pakistan and everyone else in the world in shock and amusement!
What the heck was it when the mob was torching vehicles of the law enforcement, stoning bypassing and parked vehicles, and the worst of all began to torch those small businesses – compromising a whopping 5000 number of small shops – doing business of billions and paying millions in taxes and employing people responsible for winning the bread’n'butter of the residents of Karachi – who in these days have to buy eggs @ Rs.90/dozen.
Who responded?
Why the police and rangers didn’t respond? They were there in thousands, some 10000 extra contingent of law enforcement agencies were posted at the spot for the security of the ashura gatherings.
According to sources, when the mayhem began, the police TPO Saddar Town contacted Chief City Police Officer (CCPO) seeking requests to do aerial firing and shelling the mob with tear gas. The TPO Saddar town was disallowed to do anything to handle mobs and told to stay put but must not fire a single round.
As the hour passed they kept tourching businesses and homes at Light House Karachi, the TPO once again approached the CCPO and district DIG but were told to remain criminally silent and let the mob do what they want.
On parallel to all that, the young and energetic mayor of Karachi, Syed Mustafa Kamal was always ready to handle anything and everything which came to him. He observed the situation and took all responsibility onto his shoulders to calm the situation, but unfortunately his fire-brigade tenders were turned down by mobs as they were not even letting the ambulances go. It was all certain what one could expect from the angry mob.
I am going to write answers to all those yet unanswered questions below behind the mastermind who literally wanted to show the dark side to the city.
