According to Pakistan’s The Express Tribune newspaper, recent cases of targeted attacks in Karachi are extremely worrying and require urgent attention from law enforcement agencies and government authorities.

According to The Express Tribune, the senseless deaths of two clerics, Maulana Adil Khan and Maulana Rafiullah, as well as eye specialist Dr. Beerbal in separate occurrences are not only a devastating loss of life but also a blow to the city’s social fabric.

The attacks on people who commit their lives to helping others are an insult to the values of civility and peaceful coexistence that form the basis of a democratic society.

According to a report by The Express Tribune, the fact that these murders took place in public places and during the daytime implies a flagrant disdain for the law and for the security of the populace.

Now is the time for the Pakistani government to move swiftly to find and prosecute those responsible for these horrible crimes. Failing to do so will only encourage criminal behaviour and erode public trust in the state’s ability to safeguard its citizens.

Together, law enforcement and security organisations must track down the persons and groups responsible for these assaults and act quickly to stop more bloodshed. Also, a thorough plan is required to address the root causes of crime and violence in Karachi.

Religious and ethnic violence has long been a problem in Karachi, and the spread of illegal weaponry and organised crime has only made things worse. To address these concerns, the government needs to be proactive.

This entails enhancing law enforcement, expanding possibilities for education and employment, and fostering respect across different religions.

According to authorities, a Christian man was shot and killed in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, on Saturday. This is the second episode of targeted violence against minorities in the previous day, according to The Khorasan Diary.

Dayal Singh, a Sikh minority shopkeeper, was assassinated by gunmen in Peshawar’s Dir Colony. Dayal Singh was at his shop, according to Peshawar Police, when unidentified motorcyclists shot him and then escaped on Friday around 3 o’clock.

In Pakistan, attacks on minorities have been brutal and ongoing. Dr. Birbal Genani, a Pakistani Hindu physician, was killed as he was making his way home from his clinic on Thursday, according to Dunya News.
