People from different backgrounds live in the city in harmony but terrorist want to spark violence on ethnic basis in order to achieve their dirty designs. Cruelty is at its maximum, hundreds of people die due to target killing but no one has ever been arrested. In this intense situation of Karachi President Asif Ali Zardari is usually upon foreign visits, this shows least interest of President that in the time of need his presence is usually not there. The impact of target killing in Karachi has led towards burning down of dozens of vehicles, petrol pumps and shops. Normal life has come to stand still. Strict notice of target killing in the city should be taken by government in order to cope up with this chaotic situation in Karachi.

As a nation, we specially our youth is the future of Pakistan, let's be united to get rid of this violence. We must promote a culture of tolerance. It is really important to resolve our internal issues so that we can stay united against the global threat of terrorism otherwise this internal conflicts might take away the peace of our society so it's time to raise voice against violence. Let's be united and put a full-stop on such violent activities.
