Karachi is the most popular
centre of Pakistan , and the Engine commercial activities of the country , as it
generates nearly (50) fifty percent of the total revenue. One of the three
largest cities in the world and biggest one in Pakistan. Karachi has a
population of over 20 million people.
Two main supports of Karachi 1 port of Karachi 2 port Qasim play very important
role in handing import and export of the country. Behind a port city, Karachi
handles nearly 60% of the total trading business, textiles, pharmaceuticals,
steel, automatics are the main industries in the city. Karachi stock exchange (KSE)
is Pakistan largest and old stock exchange, with many Pakistan , as well as
overseas listings.
During the last couple of years, Karachi has seen recurrent outbreaks of
violence which have claimed hundreds of lives. As the number of people that lost
their lives due to bomb, target killing, suicide and other total attack in
during the last few years.
Top police official he port confirmed that they have found that the some weapon
used in the targeted attack was also used in another condition that under
finding it is clear that sent wave of killing had attempt to destabilize the
peace of city to achieve the “certain targets” the number of mufti’s and
ulma-e-karam has also killed in this violence art.
Destabilize condition of Karachi is infected with their agent as per
intelligence sources enemies of Pakistan want to chock the financial life line
of Pakistan. First if they have successful here then rest of their nefarious
plan will be a lost easier to implement.
While various subversive acts arranged by anti-Pakistan foreign elements
continue in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and sectarian violence which also
enveloped Gilgit-Baltistan recently, unrest has again engulfed the provincial
capital of Sindh, Karachi, where in the last three months, more than 300 people
including several personnel of Police and Rangers have been killed by the
terrorists in target killings, suicide attacks, intense exchange of firing
between two ethnic groups and workers of political parties in wake of setting
the buildings, shops, vehicles on fire and hostage-takings.
On April 5 2012, this year, the banned outfit Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan has
claimed responsibility of a suicide attack which targeted the vehicle of Police,
killing three Police men including two other individuals. On the same day, three
policemen were killed by unidentified gunmen in a separate incident. In the new
wave of violence, this year, besides other innocent people, leaders and members
of the Pakistan People's Party, Muttahida Qaumi Movement and Awami National
Party were murdered in the target killings, while dead bodies are also being
recovered from various places intermittently. On February, 2012, three Shia
lawyers, two activists of the Sunni Tehreek and a doctor including Baloch MPA
Nawabzada Bakhtiar Khan Domki's wife were brutally killed in separate assaults.
In this regard, a shutter-down strike was observed in Balochistan. However, the
new year of 2012 shows that foreign-backed terrorists who had gone underground
for some months due to the collective operation of Rangers and Police have
reappeared in Karachi.
It is mentionable that on April 4, leaders of the major three coalition parties,
PPP, MQM and ANP attended a joint meeting hosted by Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul
Ibad, and they ensured indiscriminate action against miscreants in Karachi.
While heads of these parties have appealed for peace in the city, so question
arises, who are behind Karachi unrest?
Regarding recent violence in the city, Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik
revealed on April 1 that foreign powers are involved in terror-related
activities in Karachi, while Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani also indicated
are behind the Karachi unrest. Rehman Malik told the National Assembly on
February 2 2012 that the deteriorating situation in Karachi was the result of a
well-planned conspiracy. He pointed out that links between the Balochistan
Liberation Army and Sipah-e-Sahaba had been uncovered in carrying out joint
terrorist activities.
In 2011, terrorists took the lives of more than 1500 people in Karachi through
similar acts of sabotage. The city was handed over to the Rangers and Police
whose personnel conducted search operations in various phases, and seized
weapons, suicide jackets, explosives and hand grenades from fugitives' custody.
A number of militants along with huge cache of arms and ammunition, made of US,
India and Israel had been caught.
In this respect, on July 18, 2011, Rehman Malik, while disclosing the
involvement of foreign hands in Karachi, had openly stated that the miscreants
were using Israeli-made weapons for fomenting unrest in the city. He added, Over
200 persons have been arrested Israeli-made weapons including AK-45 rifles have
been recovered from them. Police investigations have also pointed out that the
culprits, who disturbed law and order situation in Karachi were not permanent
residents of the city.
However, we cannot see the terror-events in Karachi in isolation. In this
regard, American CIA, Indian secret agency RAW and Israeli Mossad which have
been supporting separatism in Balochistan including subversive acts in other
regions of the country, have rapidly established their collective network in
Pakistan. They are in connivance to a destabilize' Pakistan for their common
strategic interest and to ‘denuclearize' the country after weakening it.
These secret agencies recruited Pakistani nationals who are vulnerable and,
giving them high financial incentives to work for them. They have recruited
smugglers, criminals, employees of the security companies, experts of the
psychological warfare, and journalists in order to fulfill anti-Pakistan designs
of America, India and Israel. A majority of the militants who are committing
subversive acts in Pakistan, especially Karachi are receiving training in
terrorist camps located in India and Afghanistan.
As regards, Karachi, owing to political instability, poverty and unemployment
the jobless youth fall into the hands of criminals who are assisted by the
external elements who use them for conducting targeted killings and other
violent acts. These internal culprits, and some Indian Muslims and foreign
insurgents who are particularly backed by RAW have joined the ranks and files of
the militants of the Tehreek-e-Taliban, other religious sects. They have also
got the membership of MQM, ANP and PPP. Besides, killing the leaders and persons
of the rival religious parties, and attacking the offices of the opponent
political parties, these are real miscreants who target the Pakhtunkhwa,
Urdu-speaking people and even the people, belonging to the interior Sindh. CIA,
Mossad and RAW manipulate the ethnic division of Karachi through their
paid-agents, while especially leaders of ANP and MQM accuse each other for
murdering the people of their-related ethnic or linguistic community.
It is also fault of our political leaders that they raise one after other issue,
unintentional benefiting the anti-Pakistan elements to manipulate the same. In
this connection, recently question of new provinces in the country started a
controversial debate among the rival political parties. On January 29 on the
call of the Sindhi nationalists, a province-wide strike was observed in protest
against the 20th Amendment bill tabled by the MQM in the National Assembly
regarding new province. The Sindhi nationalists opposed it, saying that once
this door is opened, more and more provinces will be carved out on an ethnic
basis, particularly in Sindh.
While, the ethnic tensions in Karachi between the Pashtun and Urdu-speaking
people have also created rift between ANP and the MQM, but the issue of new
provinces could peacefully be resolved in accordance with the constitution
instead of giving the external elements to exploit the differences.
Nevertheless, in the past few years, aside from gang warfare and criminal
activities and violent rioting and target killings have seen a steady increase
with some high profile deaths. Each murder sees a retaliatory attack or similar
killing. A rise in Sunni-Shia violence has also resulted into several
casualties.
Particularly, Pashtuns led by ANP and Urdu-speaking people by the MQM have been
fighting against each other intermittently, while on July 26, 2011, six people
including activists of Sindh People's Youth Organisation and those of the MQM
were also killed. Last year, accusations and counter-accusations between the
leaders of the MQM and those of the ANP were traded in particular and MQM and
PPP in general. Some MQM leaders had held the rulers of the PPP in Sindh and at
centre for inciting ethnic riots in Karachi. As a matter of fact, CIA, Mossad
and RAW had succeeded in creating and manipulating the ethnic and linguistic
division in Karachi. The situation had so aggravated that leaders of the ANP and
MQM chief had requested to Pak Army and Rangers for intervention so as to save
the lives of people.
Notably, Karachi is Pakistan's the largest port and financial hub with the
largest commercial markets, collecting 70 per cent of the country's tax revenue.
So, besides causing unrest in the city, creating instability in Pakistan,
another aim of the foreign hands is to cripple the economy of the city as
Karachi is intermittently brought to a halt with shut-down strikes many
shopkeepers remain reluctant to open their shops due to violence which is
fuelling the flames. Besides, foreign agents misguide the disgruntled elements
that national institutions are not made to develop other areas of Pakistan.
It is mentionable that more than one million illegal small and heavy weapons
contribute to violence in Karachi. In this context, first of all, unlike the
previous action, a well-coordinated search operation should be conducted with an
aim to cut off the supply chain of illegal weapons in the city and root out
culprits from the most affected areas. But a programmed of de-weaponisation and
detection of foreign-backed terrorists is essential to curb violence in Karachi.
In this regard, the ruling party should be fully determined to take stern action
against the miss creates and outlaws without any discrimination.
Karachi unrest also demands that our political parties including media must stop
exploiting various problems and disparities at the cost of the country which is
already facing multiple crises of grave nature. And security forces are coping
with sporadic battles with the militants in some tribal areas, while our
external enemies also want to engage Pak Army in Karachi.
