2012, A Lethal Year in Karachi

Only few moments separate us from the end of a year but, it has the concise life of 365 days in it; for few those 365 days were just days and for few its 31,536,000 years in it as they spend each passed second as a year.  Before starting that year few people thought that it will be then end of life... well 2012 was the end for some people -including some friends-. Don’t wait for “the end” to come, have fun as if you will die tomorrow. 

In Karachi 2012 was the month of sorrows and angst for so many families who lost a son, a brother, a sister, a mother, a father, till last year people were dying for saving belongings but 2012 was quite questionable to everyone as few families still unaware of the loss they had. The stoned eyes of mothers are still waiting for the justice or at least a reason for killing of their sons.

A part from that one man was quite relaxed here, I am not going to point my fingers on the politicians that we all are aware of their corruption and now it’s useless to discuss about their performance, that man is IG Police not going to drag his detail but he always mention “only 127 peoples were killing in target killings” I think either he is not aware or may be pretend for unawareness from the actual count. 

Actually, 2012 was the hungriest year in the history of Karachi as around 1279 peoples were fell prey to the wave of target killings across the city. This is the only count of target killings but how can we close our eyes from those 289 people who lost their lives in one of Pakistan's worst fires and probably everyone is aware that it wasn’t an incident but the real truth behind to that issue was lodging allowance. 

Still those 120 families who have lost their close one in April 2012 Bhooja crash did not find justice even they don’t exactly know that either it was an incident or that plane was targeted in the name of security. I hope these all questions will get an answer in 2013 or otherwise everyone will be a rebellion and start changing things in their own way after getting frustrated by the continuous poor performance by the elected democratic government.

And finally, this year ended up by taking the last chunk of it's whole meal from Karachi, which disappointed a lot of people who were living in this jungle. As everyone has a simple question; if the only son of Deputy Superintendent of Police is not saved and he needs to beg for justice by using different forums in this country then how they can save us? Where is the chief justice who is famous in taking sou motto actions? Well from this killing one thing is quite visible which was blur before. That I am not a supporter of any political party but at least feudal system should be removed from the whole country and accountability should be added for everyone or else for no one.

Hopes for 2013:

Life, Justice, Honesty

Though these hopes are not practical but let’s see where the hell we land up.
