The press on April 26 carried a headline proclaiming: ‘Street crime in Karachi now zero, claims Qaim’ — on landing at Khairpur. The news item confirmed that he did say this. Let us just look at the three preceding days and at the crimes we know of. On the 23rd, two young schoolgirls were killed in a crossfire between fleeing bandits and their victim in Lyari. On the 24th, a branch of one of my banks in DHA Phase 8 was raided by a gang of robbers who roughed up the employees and decamped with whatever money there was in the till.
On the 25th, during the prayer break, one of our family firm’s offices situated on the second floor of a building on Chundrigar Road was raided by a gang of three, armed with TT automatic pistols. The office was robbed and the entire staff relieved of their cash, valuables and mobile phones. On that day also, three were killed and nine injured in a shootout near Hub police station. Qaim needs to update himself.
Now, a little anecdote for our honourable chief minister. In the 15th century, Louis XI of France would garner ground talk and knowledge each morning from his barber cum valet, Olivier Le Daim, who invariably would assure him that all was well in France. Armed with this information, the king would confront his senior advisers, who informed him otherwise, and tell them they were talking rubbish. This carried on until one day Le Daim was kidnapped and removed from the scene. Better informed, the king then settled down to doing right by his subjects. Qaim Ali Shah should not believe all that is told to him by Nabi Narejo.
