Re: 12 May - KARACHI Rallies (merged)
Dr. Saab, if we were in a maths class yes 2+2 is 4, unfortunately it is not so simple. This is Pakistan we are talking about. Like it or not, MQM does politically own Karachi. I am not debating if it is a good party or bad, but this call for a rally in Karachi and how it was promoted was a challenge to MQM. Do not forget we are talking about Pakistan. I do not know anyone from KE so I make an assumption when I say that it probably was not as politically charged as other Pakistani universities, but knowing my university and others, you cant even enter other parties hostels if you are labelled to be one of the opposition during tense times. You are bringing forth rights of people and rights of parties which in my view is an outright naive view of the situation. Poliics are dirty, Pakistani politics are dirtier and bloodier than most.
And you suggest that politics shud be left dirty as it is?
If a party wins elections it does not have a right to commit crimes and murder people. And this party is THE only party in Pakistani politics that thrives on bhattas, murders and extortion. They have gifted Karachi with bori-band dead bodies and torture cells.
When will you say that its enough? Instead of blaming the victims, you shud speak for the weak.
And what more it has done is to strenghthen the ethnic divide among Pakistani people and promote mob politics. Already in Quetta an office of MQM has been burned down.
