Re: Altaf steps down as party chief/ takes his resignation back (updated)
Let me add my honest observation. Pakistani people are in general very discriminative. They would even discriminate based on complexion, ethnicity, and religion and even based on physical condition of a person. Imagine someone who is kaala, ganja or missing something, go through so much discrimination and is called with names. This is our true nature.
Same goes with Muhajirs. No doubt that they have been discriminated by local throughout Pakistan. I have witnessed myself when I was young and grew up in Punjab. Muhajirs were looked upon as if they were second-class citizens. Look at our history; based on discrimination, we ended up loosing East Pakistan. Begalis were never considered good enough as compared to West Pakistanis. Thanks to Bhutto who decided not to accept Mujeeb's clear victory in general elections.
The only concern I personally have with MQM is their leadership. Altaafa majj is a criminal and have his hands colored in so much blood. With some education and more open mind, I personally don't like the idea of calling anybody muhajir. They are all Pakistanis and in fact they should be treated with more dignity knowing the fact what they all went through by leaving their homes behind, all the sufferings they took. Heads off to all who migrated from India. MQM is openly known to do the killings etc and that is not acceptable. They should be part of all mainstream political parties in Pakistan and should work to change our system.
