Again Rigging in Karachi‘s election?

Rigging in Karachi

Elections 2013 in Pakistan has held and now, like always rigging in elections is being claimed. Pakistan Tehreek E Insaaf is claiming rigging in Punjab and Karachi. Almost all political parties of Karachi are claiming rigging in elections. In Karachi rigging in elections is not something new and shocking and it has become a trend in Karachi. Every Pakistani knows very well that Karachi has been  hostage by a single political party and they consider Karachi as their own territory therefore they never except any fair way by which citizens of Karachi could decide their own fate.

This is not a hidden truth that Karachi is not ruled by the government of Pakistan but since a long time it has been ruled by a single political party and whenever an event of bloodshed happened in Karachi they become innocent and always making noise that they has been abused by others. On 12th May Altaf Husain’s speech was not a speech of a responsible and sensible Pakistani leader, he clearly describe his very old dream of separation of Karachi from Pakistan.

In a democracy it is everyone’s right to protest in a decent way and PTI, Jamaat E Islami, Pakistan Muslim League Functional and other political parties was doing the same so there was no need to threaten them in such an indecent way. The speech of Altaf Hussain should be noticed seriously by the president of Pakistan and Pakistan Army Chief as demanded by wise president of Jamaat E Islami, Merej Ul Huda.

This is an open fact that in Karachi no government could conduct fair general election and the same happened this time and every citizen of Pakistani wishes a fair and free general elections in Karachi which is the only solution of the problems of the biggest city of Pakistan. How long we have to wait for peace in Karachi which is the basic right of every citizen of Karachi.

Election commission should seriously respond the protest of all political parties of Karachi and elections in all over the Karachi should be held again in the presence of Pakistan Army. These elections should be observed thoroughly by national and international electronic and print media. May this one act would get the lost peace of Karachi back to its citizen. And the biggest city of Pakistan, population wise, area wise and economy wise would become a peaceful city.
