** Altaf for dissolving assemblies if LG system abrogated** Updated at: 0525 PST, Friday, August 21, 2009
KARACHI: MQM chief Altaf Hussain said on Thursday that the local government system, being instrumental in resolving the problems of the people, should be continued despite the fact that it was introduced by a dictator.
He was addressing a convention on local bodies, which was attended by a large number of Nazims and councillors from all over the country. According to him, the local governments should not be abandoned on the grounds that it was the brainchild of a dictator. He said the dictator had also held general elections.
“Should the assemblies be dissolved because they came into existence after polls held by the dictator”, he questioned.

okay my post is completely useless but i truly cant help myself so read only if u want and do forgive me if it bothers your sensibilities.
lately everytime i hear altaf's name my mind throws a picture of "gainda" at me. when the news come accompanied with a photo the mental chanting of brainless gainda , brainless gainda, brainless gainda is rather severe. i just wonder if this happens to anyone else?

As fas as I have read him and listened his speeches....I find him a nice person....he may have a little different style of speach but this does not necessary mean the guy is bad....
Regardless of what he himself is, but what he is saying makes sense. Dissolving LG just because it was fruit of ‘dictatorship’ then they need to do re-elections of all assemblies because of the same reason.
IMO ministers can’t take LG’s existence because they take a good portion of their ‘power’, their ‘money’ opportunities.
See more. I am sorry but do you know Pakistani so called independent media does not publish anything against this mafia and Mafia of Islamabad.So net is place where world can know them.
** Babar says dictators worked more for democracy** Updated at: 2021 PST, Friday, August 21, 2009
ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Ports and Shipping Babar Ghauri said it would be anti-democratic to eliminate the Local Bodies system, Geo News reported Friday.
Talking to journalists at KPT headquarters, he said the police should function under city nazim.
If some dictator has introduced a good system like the City Governmen, it shoud be praised, he said, adding the city government system is working in every developed country and it shuld be kept intact with a necessary change.
It is unfortunate that military dictators worked for the democracy more than elected representatives of the people, Babar said.
No surprise here... The MQM need the system in place to keep their hold on Karachi and Hyderabd to some extent.
Nothing wrong with this, so long as the Nazim is chosen democratically, and elections are fair.
The only concern is that MQM doesnt have a very good reputation. I mean the Nazim is on record displaying is open bias against Pashtuns, and we know very well that with MQM in power, everyone else gets short changed.

Yes, a convicted murderer and a flag burner, who is absconding and leading a party that is known globally as a terrorist organization, be it the UNHCR or Canadian Courts. Very nice indeed. Also, an Indian singing praises for Altaf Hussain pretty much sums his character up.

this is the problem with us. If we don't like someone, we will just oppose them even if what they are saying actually makes sense. The guy has a valid point.

What point? The system was introduced by a dictator and wasnt the norm. It failed miserably, and even the ruling party that came up with this sytem under the dictator's umbrella admits its a failure. As for the regular assemblies are concerned, we need not dissolve them as thats how our parliament works...
These MQM terrorists are only shedding tears because they know they cant beat the PPP in Sindh on a provincial basis, and their 'amdani', the scams they run viz running the city government will come to an end, and they will have to rely completely on extortion/bhatta/killings.
Re: Altaf for dissolving assemblies if LG system abrogated
having gone through the advised shrink channel. i have now tried to amend the errors of my sub conscious. thus far though, the improvement is minute ,instead of gainda what comes into my mind now is the term bahsainda. What ,you might ask is that? Its a cross between bhains and gainda. I think this one compensates for altaf's eloquence and perception.
PS: i dont think looks of altaf are the reason behind my sub concious reverie ,more like his "aura" (if a term like "aura" can ever be used in the same sentence as altaf).
PPS: please do not confuse it with the term "mustanda". its simply bhains and gainda.
Re: Altaf for dissolving assemblies if LG system abrogated
LG system should be dissolved and never be re-instated. This is because, our political system is much different than countries where such system has worked. In other countries national and provincial assemblies are for legislation and broader economic managemnet, while LG for local. In our country MNAs get funds for infrastructure for their constitutencies, MPAs, get the saem and then the third tier of Nazims, thats absolute rubbish. You cannot have 3 tiers of corrupt politicians, either provincial or LG system, one has to be abrogated.

Why even 2 tiers then? Do away with provincial assembly, and we can all be ruled directly by Raiwind.
