Surely strike won’t do any good. We should try our best to find ways so unfortunate incident do not occur in future.
Processions moving miles of distances on roads with buildings/ bridge / connecting roads around it then practically it become impossible to provide foolproof security through out the country. If Ashura is performed at static alloted places with few passages then ofcourse unfortunate incident can be much REDUCED.

Pakistan’s enemy wants Pakistan to sink and when we have such strikes, they celebrate. Because its actually damages Karachi’s economy. Don’t support strike. Think about poor people they all have families like us.
May GOD give some sense to strike callers.

I agree with the views of MUNIR AHMAD, KHIZER & SALMAN and many other commentators that wheel jam is not the remedy to the problem of extreme lawlessness.

Ashura carnage and arson in Karachi is a worst chapter in Pakistan’s history. If you recall, after each major terrorist attack the government tightens the security all over the country. I am reading this since last few years and wonder the Pakistan should be like a Fortress where even a bird laden with dangerous material cannot sneak in. To the contrary the country is drifting from bad to worse.

The solution to the problem is that the present government should be shown the door out and fresh and new blood be brought in from among the masses having no ‘Bradri’ with the ruling junta of today.

How to go about – spread positive education on war footing and lift the literacy rate to 99%. Each educated man and women must educate minimum two persons. Many of the ills will take care of themselves.

Pakistan is a super power economy. One day strike will not affect the economy.

During my 42-year stay in Germany, I have seen that Rallies and strikes are almost absent in Germany. Perhaps the people of Pakistan, specially the employees and workers, should learn from them how to work under all circumstances and to negotiate with the employers.

Karachi business community has a wonderful legacy of economic leadership and entrepreneurship; they should come forward and set up a fund for helping the affected businessmen for restoring their businesses. Karachi business community needs to develop procedures and protocols to safeguard their economic interests. They cannot depend on politicians for any kind of help in this regard. All economic and commercial zones should be declared “no-rallies no-processions zones.”

In my opinion best way to help people who suffered is ask the people to donate (of free will) from their day’s earning instead of closing business altogehter what sense in that?
We keep going backward!!

For as far back as I can remember in my 34 years of life, there have been such strikes and protests in the city of Karachi. The result is a zero some game helping no one and hurting the city.

It is quiet clear that no one really cares anymore. Everyone lives and works for self interest.

There has to be a distinction made between protest rallies and strikes. Protest rallies are expression of freedom of speech and assembly. A strike means you hurt the economy of the country.

Precisely what the terrorist want to also achieve.

Strikes only play in hands of terrorist. But don’t forget also that so far religious party in this country have made it obligatory to damage it since Pakistan existence.

Pakistan Zindabad.
