12 MAY Karachi on fire

It has been 13 years since the 12 MAY tragedy, and those responsible have not been identified

It was not immediately clear which forces were behind the May 12 tragedy. Some activists were seen carrying Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) flags, while others carrying PPP and Awami National Party flags were seen setting fire to vehicles. Who is the last to play Holi of Fire and Blood ?

More than 50 people were killed in riots in Karachi on May 12, 2007. Even 13 years later, no significant progress has been made in these cases.

It is clear that no political party or its activists at least carry flags and besiege them, but the display of flags is proof that these elements were part of another conspiracy to politicize the issue. Keep trying

Everyone remembers the incident. On May 12, 2007, the lawyers' movement was at its peak. The then inactive Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was returning to Karachi on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Sindh High Court when the city was bathed in blood.

After the May 12 tragedy, the PPP ruled for five years, then the PML-N completed five years, but the two governments could not take any action against the elements involved, and like many tragedies and events in Pakistan, May 12, 2007 In any case, the story of history will become old. No government is interested in investigating who benefited and who was harmed in such incidents and who could be the elements who benefited.
