The Government of Sindh has once again banned pillion riding.
For those of you who didn't know it by the technical term, pillion riding is the act of more than one person riding on a motorbike.
Wasim Ahmed seems to believe that terrorism and other crimes were higher after the ban on pillion riding was lifted the first time, so it has been enacted once again-
Here is a particularly disturbing article about the death of a PSF member who was killed via men riding pillion.

And thus, as a result of the death of the PSF officer, the subsequent actions of Karachi was to ban all men riding pillion.

I think this is one of the best ideas Karachi has had for a while-
With the way that the economy has been doing, this may force middle class workers already in debt to go out and purchase their own motorbikes instead of riding on the backs of others. Who needs a stimulus package when you have the genius minds of Pakistan? We can just keep overcrowding roads like Shariah E Faisal with more motorbikes now.
The ban exempts women and children, journalists and elderly people. I guess that means two men riding a bike together has been banned. This means that the Mullahs on the side of the road no longer have to watch the haram positions of men straddling a motorcycle while wrapping their arms around each other- way to impose some good ol' Shariah law!
Essentially the ban makes one of the most popular forms of transportation in the 3rd most populated city in the world impossible for a month. As the ban was enacted on a late Friday afternoon, traffic police went to town exploiting the poor commuters who didn't know about the ban
Way to go Karachi! Banning pillion riding is the first step of many to ensuring a safe, terrorist attack and violence free Karachi.
(I do want to note that section 144 did impose a whole host of great rules for ensuring safety. I realize that the death of the PSF member was probably awful, but I don't think that eliminating pillion riding will actually solve the underlying problem- more on section 144 here)
