Did they even anticipated the REACTION before making the whole move on the first place???That is where things go wrong people over there have left Intimidating from sounds of Gun fires and types of Guns and despite of so much Cavalry Rangers couldnt able to control the situation instead Ran while leaving a CASUALTY there.
Yesterday no shops got open despite of all the assurances and Guarantees of these Brave Rangers in Karachi so dont tell me that I am Hasty on my Judgement because People have either told them that things are NOT Under Control despite of 20 Years of Rangers being in Street or they have said that they are with MQM and Ichose the first Explanation of situation not being under Control despite of 20 Years of Rangers in Karachi street.
Aren't you missing the point here? Let's examine facts here.
1. Convicted criminals were present inside Nine-Zero. Harbouring and sheltering criminals is a crime.
2. Illegal weapons in large quantity were found inside Nine Zero. Some of them sophisticated with scope and suppressors. Such weapons are not used of self defence. They are used for precision covert killings.
3. Farooq Sattar acknowledged presence of these arms and said they were for self defence. That was his first reaction. He also claimed they were licensed. MQM later changed its stance.
4. Altaf Hussain clearly acknowledged presence of law fugitives inside Nine-Zero. He said they should have taken refuge somewhere else.
5. Police, Rangers, Army and Intelligence agencies can and SHOULD raid any place where they have credible information of unlawful activity. They were well within their duty charter when they raided Nine-Zero.
6. Office of a poltical party is
NOT a sacred place. Given the activities of political parties, I consider them to be least sacred. LEA
CAN enter office of any poltical party on credible information and search nearby houses including that of party leader's relatives if they suspect unlawful activity. No one. NO ONE is above the law.
7. Supporters of MQM were protesting against Rangers who conducted successful raid on a place of criminal activity. I find it equates to supporting crime and I find it disturbing. Honestly.
8. After recovery of weapons and criminals, it was a crime scene. Rangers WILL and SHOULD seal a crime scene to protect evidence and formalities to complete. Demanding them to leave is equal to interference in execution of official duties, again a crime by law.
9. Search of entire Nine-Zero is part of their duties and this is done to a crime scene world over.
10. If unlawful acts are committed by other groups say PPP, ANP, JI etc it does
NOT change the fact that Nine-Zero was used for unlawful activities. MQM is answerable to law what happens there.
11. MQM had erected barriers and made Nine-Zero a no-go area. This is unlawful. No civilised nation accepts it.
I am in full agreement with you that such raids should take place on all hubs of unlawful activity. But let's call it a start. Let's appreciate and I would say celebrate application of law on untouchables. No one should be untouchable including Altaf Hussain.
