Possible reason of Chudry Aslam assassination

Possible reason of Chudry Aslam assassination 

Chaudhry Aslam was a law-enforcement official who had contempt for the law. His rise to prominence was occasioned by the role he played in the operations in the 1990s against the MQM. Our historical amnesia apparently now extends to airbrushing this dark chapter out of Karachi’s history.

The term ‘encounters’, borrowed from the actions of the police in the Lahore of the late 1980s, was popularised here as a euphemism for killing people it would be a hassle to arrest. That this operation was carried out against the largest political party in the city made it even worse. Sure, the party was hardly untainted but the correct way to deal with that would have been through investigations, the collection of evidence, filing cases and then testifying in court. You know, the kind of police work that leads to untainted justice, the kind of police work carried out by policemen who aren’t eulogised in print.
