The attacks on individuals dedicated to serving the community are an affront to the principles of civility and peaceful coexistence that underpin a democratic society.

It is now crucial that the Pakistani authorities take decisive action to apprehend the perpetrators of these heinous crimes and bring them to justice. Failure to do so will only embolden criminals and undermine public confidence in the ability of the state to protect its citizens.

Police and security agencies must work together to identify the motives and individuals behind these attacks, and take swift action to prevent further violence. Moreover, there is a need for a comprehensive strategy to address the underlying causes of violence and crime in Karachi.

Karachi has long been plagued by ethnic and sectarian tensions, and the proliferation of illegal weapons and organised crime has only exacerbated the problem. The government must take proactive measures to address these issues. This includes strengthening law enforcement, improving access to education and employment opportunities, and promoting interfaith harmony.

These attacks are a wake-up call. The safety and security of citizens must be the top priority, and the government must take all necessary measures to ensure that justice is served. Only then can Karachi move towards a more peaceful future, according to The Express Tribune.
