You keep MQM in power and you won't see bullets firing anywhere (in MQM areas mainly).
Mr. Ehtesaab,
MQM was not in power during first couple of Musharraf's rule. They were so much against Dictatorship that they even didn't participate in the first City Council Elections. But gradually they realised Musharraf is not a Military Dictator. Contrary to this, Musharraf brought all those Priciples of Democrary which was not to be seen in first 4 Eras of BB and Nawaz.
Even there was no City Government of MQM during first 6 years of Musharraf's era and City Nazim was Naimatullah of Jamat-e-Islami...... but still there was no voilence in Karachi during all this Period. WHY?
Just come out of your hatred and Prejudice and try to find out the Answer of this WHY.
Simply Musharraf was not a usurper of others Rights.
Only one good step of Musharraf (i.e. bringing City Government) and tranferring of Authorities to lower level of City brought maricles in Karachi.
There are many type of Taxes in Pakistan. Among those, the tax taken in name of Water, Garbage, Sewerage etc. should be used only in that areas.
But earlier People of Karachi gave all their taxes in name of water etc, which went to Provincial Government of PPP and never returned back from there. All earlier so-called Civil Democratic Parties were eney of distributing authorities to lower level (for corruption purposes). It was only the Vision of Musharraf which brought this development in Pakistan for which "Na-Shukray" people like us should be thankful to Musharraf.
Once People of Karachi got their Rights, they responded very Positively and we saw all that Development during all that era.

Now you raise a good question. During operations of 1992+ in Karachi, intelligence/army "found" maps of Jinnahpur. Many MQM supporters here support ISI and army (kinda blindly) and enforce that these two institutions are sincere to the nation. My question is then obviously, was that allegation by military/ISI true or false?

There is a big difference in ISI of Musharraf and ISI of people like General Hamid Gul and Naseerullah Baber.
ISI of Hamid Gul and Naseerullah Babar is now a proven Lair as we heard not a Single Slogan of Jinahpur during all these 8 years of Musharraf.
But remember, if we bring back Hatred filled people like Hamid Gul and Naseerullah Baber, then even if today there are no slogans of Jinahpur, but soon their ZULM upon Karachi People would bring these Slogans at high (Just as Zulm of Army brought People of East Pakistan to raise slogans of Bangladesh)
We should learn how to respect and love people and make them friends and not how to make them enemy. You go the wrong way.... and you make your own brother your enemy (while other way you make your enemies your friends).
When did that happen?
