You make it sound comic but that really has been the politico-social culture in Karachi for the last few decades.
Interesting. Look forward to read more from you.

His popularity was unquestionable, its a little scary seeing 100's of little naked 4 year olds shouting Rehman bhai zindabad in unison like Christ hath descended. The rumour was it was his bonethug and blood brother Nabeel Gabol trying to convince him to run on the PPP platform but he repeatedly refused him. They say the real reason for his tapkaoing was his associations with the Baluch nationalist movement.

Lyari will be in chaos for a while all his captains hated each other.
