Riots in Karachi

It is fact that human loss is irreparable. Killing spree is continued in Karachi for the past few weeks. Incidents of firing, target killing randomly in different areas have created  panic amongst the people.
The start of this weekend (Monday) saw a horrible wave of terror and panic following the murder of Maulana Ismail. Ransacking of public property, petling of stones on vehicles, hitting passer-bys by sticks, setting the vehciles on fire and firing were witnessed soon after the news spread about the killing of the Maulana.
I myself witnessed the same in the morning while coming back from Hyderabad to Karachi. Like other poeple who left their homes for offices or dropping their kids to schools, i was also unaware of what had happend just a few minutes and was worried to see a massive traffic jam.
Luckily got the raksha after a long wait, but was intercepted by a few "Danda Bardar and Naqab Posh protestors" who were hitting and damaging vehicles.By the grace of Allah, we (the Raksha Driver and me) managed to escape from there, however, the side mirror of the rakshaw was damaged by those Danda Bardar miscreants.
Now the reports are saying that at least 7 people have been killid, while 8 vehicles inclduing an ambulance were burnt in riots on Monday.
Here the question arises, that killing other people, damaging vehicles and public properties, blocking the roads and creating panic in the city is the right way to protest over the death of the Maulana?
Will it bring the deceased  back?
The answer is certainly  No
Then why do we  harm ourselves by doing so?
We have to think about it...!
n May Allah rest the soul of Late Maulana Ismail in peace ameen.
