Print and electronic media has published around 20 images of culprits filtered from the CCTV footage.But the very efficient police has arrested so far 6 suspects identified by witnesses (Reported by Daily Dawn).Even after having an evidence law enforcement agencies job is not up to the mark.Number of suspects held still doesn't justifies the amount of damage done on the day.This time people were anticipating a huge break through from our law enforcement agencies and government.FIA report must be in the bin and bin must be expecting another soon.After few days whole matter will be scrapped as many before.
Still the dust of above events wasn't settled properly city suffered another blow in the form of target killing .Around 100 people are dead from different part of the city.Although these people have different political affiliations but after all they are the resident of this city.They share the same city,water,food and all other resources city is providing them in this bleak economic time. I am really sad to see these innocent people who died for their parties but parties are disowning them.Their leaders are not in the field they are in their safe houses hundred and thousand miles away.They are enjoying the desperation of the poor for their political stunts to gain cheap popularity and constituency encroachments.Even though these political gazillion will settle their differences with dignity after couple of meeting but deads can't be brought back to life.People have to understand this cheap game of politics which has been depicted by many Indian films. I am pretty sure people must have enjoyed many such films but they are so dumb they didn't figure out the message from those films.I would say this is the difference between Pakistani innocents and bit mature Indians.They are now able to understand the rules of the game but significant of us are not.
One thing is prompting me to think about these incidents is to zoom out and look them in regional scenario.Since last year some political parties has been very close to the Pakistan military establishment and as well as to the US establishment as reported by Dr. Shahid Masood in his article in The News on September 24, 2009.He mentioned the names of the top US strategists, including Bruce Riedel, John Negroponte, Richard Boucher, and current State Department officials, including Richard Holbrooke. Dr. Shahid was eagerly waiting for the outcome of this new strategic alliance interims of change in political landscape.But I would rather say that US policy makers has given a different role to new partners and it is based according to their expertise.The recently unfolded events of December and January are clearly showing the roles being given. Soon after these initially assigned jobs the David Milliband was sent by their US masters to visit Islamabad and Karachi to asses the political temperature and to say "well done". I would appreciate that this is the best strategy US can have and worse for Pakistan after Blackwater (Xe) was identified as potential threat by media.
Here we need a competent, visionary and patriotic leadership which can handle 21st century challenges the country is facing. Although the present leadership is trying their level best but we shouldn't be too optimistic.
