Punjit jee,very easy to say these type of things,Karachi has a history of deadliest ethnic voilence between different ethnic groups Pathans,Sindhis & Mohajirs round the clock(365 days).Some 6 months ago 2000 shops belonging to Pathans were burned by MQM guys. I have seen enough videos of gunmen exchanging fire. @Areesh

i have survived 8 (1995-2003) year of absolute anarchy in my home state (bihar) with my family ( extended ) as a marked target. So these things are not quite alien to me.
my advise to all is not to give up, buckle up and fight back.

 

[notsuperstitious]

Glad your father is safe.

Did the victim belong to any political or other organization?

Also, when you guys say ''targeted killing'' you use it for political violence alone or even murdered committed for personal reasons?

Not ethnic but political.

 

[suresh1773]

Not ethnic but political.

Voilence is Voilence,it should not matter whether it is political or ethnic. Both should be condemned equally. On thread,if the person shot dead belongs to Jamat which is a religious political party. What will u say,political or ethnic voilence or both

Not ethnic but political.

isn't the political parties formed in the line of ethnicity?

None apart from MQM which itself is trying to change its perception.

PPP is Paks largest party despite its leader being Sindhi .. ANP is majority Pashtun/Hindkowal because it's a small regional party.

U r a Marri Baloch,if I am not wrong. What about the voilence between MQM & Baloch,is it ethnic or political. I have read MQM represents the Urdu speaking party who have migrated from India during 1947. On another video, Adul Qadeer Khan father of Nuclear Bomb reveals being a Muhajir in Pakistan,he was not accepted in the early years of his life. He migrated to Pakistan from Bhopal & spoke Urdu.

Not only political parities have ethnic identity,but each political party have their own armies

None apart from MQM which itself is trying to change its perception..

MQM trying to change perception,is it after the bloody voilence. Some 2000 shops,even buses belonging to Pathans were burnt. Why type of perception is this?

There is no baluch vs urdu speaker but gang wars in a shit hole called Lyari between different gangs run by both baluch(makranis & Sindhi baluch mostly) and others (Sindhis).. Over turf wars etc.. drugs,weapons n shit.

Lyari was a PPP stronghold long ago... Till PPP backed away from harbouring these gangsters for political reasons ...

2000 shops seems a lot of fukin exaggeration lol.

The real issue is militant wings of these parties which are also involved in drugs etc .. Whih result in gangwars/turf wars.

As for MQM .. Now they have been trying to spread their party by standin contenders from almost all provinces (it's another thing that nobody votes for them).

P.S: I've never heard of any militant wing of PPP.

The 2000 figure might be exaggerted,they were press reports but the footage which I saw shows endless row of shops completley burned & gutted. Sooner or later there will be retaliation by the Pathans who r traditonally conservative & would be baying for blood & who won't give up easily.

yaa... but rather killing others they kill members of their own so called ethnic community ..... GANDA HAI PER DHANDA HAI YE ...

no such incident of 2000 shops burning incident happened ever in the history of Karachi, there is only incident of burning whole market (boltan market) & that too happened in 2005-6 (If i am not mistaken) & that market was not dominated by any single ethnic group at that time nor even today.

Brother,

According to our Establishment and Political Party this is not terrorism! its a crime.

But for the Information of PDF members i am sharing the Definition of Terrorism ,

According to Oxford Dictionary!

"he unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims:"

According to Pakistan political Parties.

" The means to Pressurize Workers of rival Political Parties if Called Terrorism"

According to Pakistani Establishment.

" Any Means of killing of Personals of Armed Forces and their families called Terrorism"

According to Religious Parties

" Any Means of killing or pressurizing of Madersah Students or Mullahs is called Terrorism"
