Pak|Cast vol. 3, no. 13: The Streets of Karachi

May 12, 2007, the day over 40 innocent citizens of Karachi lost their lives to political violence, is a date that will live in infamy. In a lively and heated discussion released ahead of Pak|Cast's regular weekly schedule, Nasir Aziz, Ethan Casey and Asad Faizi debate what happened in Karachi that day and who is responsible for it, and read emails from listeners in Karachi and elsewhere. Who was the instigator, and who were the victims? What roles did the MQM, Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, and President Pervez Musharraf play? What were the real reasons behind it? What turn will the judicial crisis take after May 12? Is this the beginning of the end for Musharraf?

What lies ahead?
