“Why are we being killed?” asks a dying man who was denied the “luxury” of being taken to the hospital as roads were blocked and ambulances could not access him.
As the residents of Karachi confine themselves to their homes amid death and destruction by goons of political parties, they would have by now started to ask themselves the same question.
Party leaders comfortably sit in their offices or homes in London, enjoying the death and destruction they have spun up. While their brainwashed and unarmed people are being killed for their jackass leaders.
Something is really wrong here… Are we screwed because the “silent majority” continues to remaining silent… or perhaps because a faulty election system … or because of uneducated masses … or perhaps due to lack of quality education… hell it is all of the above.

It is interesting to note that 35% of population votes. Combine that with political parties forging votes and you get your answer regarding the fairness of elections. And now you know why we are screwed.
May Allah help us understand… Amen.
