Outgoing week remained bloodiest for Karachi; three shut downs making standstill in education, business and road communication in mega city - a true back bone of country.

There were loss of innocent and precious lives and mourning continued on call of political parties. Deaths were there many paralyze for live and many descrying their kitchen runners for good. Concerns are looming on political horizon when we see politics and political environment in Karachi particularly in the back drop of election hardly more than a week ahead. No day is passed in tranquil and game of death continues in different shapes some time blasts targeted against some political parties bringing lives in silence and other time unknown targeting humans brutally on road. Scare, fright and uncertainty is rocking paralyzing the basic function for survival of humanoid. Momentum of challenging writ of the government went up high remarkably and those responsible to check the evil trend were hamstrung and feckless in handling of situation.

Three political parties having major stakes in Karachi are right in claim that their voice to voters is blocked in this significant time when they need to approach constituencies in absence of serene. Even a mere gathering of few people is exposed to something unknown coming and almost every evening brings disaster for people. Here some unornamented questions are to be looked for answers. Such as, are all parties getting equal chance to go for election campaign? Is that not rightly pointed pre poll rigging against the parties being targeted? What role interim government and EC are having for protection of people and candidates? Have we bowed our head before terrorist and our law enforcement agencies are so nincompoops in handling such challenges? And the most important what and how all this end up in results?

Common men perspectives have less concern for the lust and yearn of politician and many questions assume no significance for them except for how sanity of stake holders is utilized in bringing human survival in peace possible Karachi which is no more there. Political parties look all this in varied dimensions: some find them in at edge in such environment as myth likely to be reality on political canvas if peaceful environment exist in Karachi and they do not want to loose timings of the election - also believe that election rescheduled will be election far fetched. Those with traditional mandate in Karachi are uncomfortable as the voters are hesitant to come out even on the day of election primarily feeling that nothing is important than life.

In true sense, the most important is human lives and than protection of property and resources. Unchecked trend of terrorism is not only expected to loose whole vision of democratic pattern of government sought after long time but also will nor present true picture of democracy even elections are held on scheduled. Government, EC and law enforcement agencies are facing real challenge. Election held in such conditions will be hired elections not depicting any real representation of people. Necessity remains napping the neck of terrorist and generating masses to election booths on Election Day.
