Once again, the Federal Interior Minister Abdul Rehman Malik has sought a report within 24 hours concerning the recent killings in Karachi, when nationalist parties tried to rally and raise voice against efforts to make Karachi a Mohajir province. He further came down upon the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and castigated Marvi Memon, asking her on whose behalf she took out a rally in Karachi. He also levelled allegations against the PML-N leadership saying that it was responsible for this act of terrorism in Karachi, and adding that it was paving the way for extremists to enter Karachi.

The question is why does Mr Malik blame the PML-N for his fiasco or failure to cope with the bad situation in Karachi? He always asks for reports regarding any mishaps in the city but no precautionary measures or stern actions have been taken against real terrorists, only because they belong to his allied party in the government. If Ranger officials arrest a terrorist from that party, Mr Malik immediately performs his ‘real’ duty to save and release that terrorist. May we ask why he does that?
