[A.Rafay]

KARACHI - Traders in the metropolis have struck a deal with extortionists to pay them a monthly fee.
According to Media Reports, traders have agreed to pay Rs 500-Rs 1,000 monthly to extortionists. The decision comes after several traders expressed their disappointment with the police for failing to control the situation.
Chairman All Karachi Traders Ittehad Atiq Mir said the police had made it clear they had no orders to arrest extortionists. "Despite the presence of police, extortionists were not deterred.”
In October, CCPO Karachi Iqbal Muhammad had claimed that the distribution of extortion slips had decreased in the city. Several traders have left Karachi claiming they had to pay more in extortion than in taxes.

well this is a kind of unoffical criminal tax and first sign of government failure. MQM squeals a lot of noise about building a safer Karachi but what are the going against extortion - unless it is implied that MQM itself is the extortionist.

you have any doubts about MQM extortion? It might not be doing it right now but the people who are doing it are supporters of PPP government. I bet the govt. knows each and one of them.
