The verdict asked the government to ensure smooth running of economic and commercial activities in the city by taking steps against illegal shutter-downs and strikes which paralysed normal life of citizens and caused losses of billions of rupees in one day. “Therefore, the government and political parties should evolve a respectable way out to avoid such a situation in future. Violence in Karachi this year as well as in the past was not ethnic alone, but a turf war between different groups having economic, socio-politico interest to strengthen their position or aggrandisement, based on the phenomenon of tit-for-tat with political, moral and financial support or endorsement of political parties claiming their representation on behalf of public of Karachi, including components and non-components of the provincial government,” it said. The verdict said: “The recent violence in Karachi represents unimaginable brutalities, bloodshed, kidnapping and throwing away dead bodies and torsos in bags; as illustration, indicating toll of 306 lives in one month; detection of torture cells video; receiving bhatta to strengthen the ranks of one group against the other; grabbing land; drug mafia, etc, destroying moveable and immovable properties of the citizens, establishes that the fundamental rights of the citizens enshrined in Articles 9, 14, 15, 18 and 24 of the Constitution have not been protected by the provincial government. “This failure has made the lives and properties of the citizens insecure; the federal government also failed in protecting Sindh against internal disturbance while the Sindh government also failed to carry out functions in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.”
