On May 12, 2007, some 48 people were killed and score injured and several vehicles burnt on one of the bloodiest days in Karachi’s history, when the then deposed Chief Justice (CJ) of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was scheduled to address a function at Sindh High Court. Opposition parties had announced to accord warm welcome to the then CJP in the city. The MQM, who at the time backed Musharraf, organised a counter-rally, leading eventually to violent clashes.
As 10 years have passed since the carnage, no one from the perpetrators were sentenced and even those arrested were set free on bail.
