Summary
The wave of violence continued unabated on a third consecutive day in Karachi and left at least 3 people dead despite the fact that President Asif Ali Zardari is in Karachi for the last three days. President Zardari did not meet any political leader or religious leader nor issued any statement on the tense situation prevailing in Karachi.The city witnessed an upsurge in violence which has claimed over 20 lives since Friday evening. Advisor to President in Sindh Jamil Somoro has informed that President had no official appointments during the last 48-hours. According to sources, law enforcing agencies have failed to control the wave of violence and the recent killings once again fuelled tension in the neighborhoods as frequent gunshots in the localities forced businesses to close and traffic to remain off the roads. President has kept quiet on target killings and did not issue any definite instructions to the law enforcing agencies.
