KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain urged the president, prime minister and army chief on Wednesday to stop the so-called nationalist elements of Sindh from using “threatening language” against Mohajirs.
Otherwise, he warned, “people may take matters into their own hands”.
In a video message, he said a “planned conspiracy” was being hatched to fan hatred in Sindh, where the nationalist elements and certain political leaders were using provocative and foul language against Urdu-speaking people and talking about “turning the Indus into a river of blood”.
According to a press release issued from London, Mr Hussain appealed to President Asif Zardari, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, Chief of the Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, ISI Director General Lt-Gen Zahirul Islam and Interior Minister Rehman Malik to rein in such elements.
The MQM chief warned that if these elements were not stopped things might go out of his hands. He said his party had publicly asserted that it opposed the division of Sindh, but despite this the so-called nationalists and some political leaders were repeatedly saying that the province would be soaked in blood if there was any talk about its division.
Mr Hussain also warned the elements using abusive language and threats of terrorism and bloodshed that the Urdu-speaking people could not be subjugated by such tactics and they should know that it was 21st century and their “power will be put to test when the time comes”.

Re: Altaf warns nationalists against using ‘threatening language’
It’s not just Altaf who uses this language. Actually, see the topic where he is complaining of others using the same language. Haven’t you seen PPP’s Mirza and many ANP leaders threatening Urdu speaking people?
The point is that violence and threatening language should be stopped by everyone. To blame MQM alone only shows people’s bias.
Re: Altaf warns nationalists against using ‘threatening language’
Coming straight from fanatic Difa e Pakistan jalsa?!
NATO supplies reopening is in the hands of the government and the army. How come you are involving MQM into it? tsk tsk.
That’s the problem. In their hatred against MQM, people sometimes start speaking nonsense. In this particular case, I think the hatred is due to MQM’s open opposition to fanatic Taliban and their supporters.
As an example of who has control over resumption of NATO supplies, see the following link and let me know how many times the word ‘MQM’ is mentioned.

We all know that altafs MQM was made by agencies and which later got out of their hands. I know altaf more then you and can easily say that this party is only against pakistan and the same goes for ANP.
PS:If you can not be decent in your replies just skip reading my post. :)
PS2: Difa e pakistan jalsa is nothing more then mix plate of agency powered religious parties.

I reiterate No one is Farishta.. but MQM who is said to be the pioneer in agitating people (TV bech do, Gun khareed lo), has not learned lessons. They create environment and provide chance to likes of ZM & other nationalists to say stupid things. Why don't they condemn wall chalking against separate province. ZM give that stupid statement just because of wall chalking and now nationalist are giving statements for the same reason. If MQM had a big concern and sympathy for Saraiki people, why don't they properly own their Sindhi brothers and remove their suspicion.
There was no wall chalking against separate sooba after ZM's Press conference.. MQM supported Saraiki Sooba and supported amendment in constitution for this cause and after few days of passing such amendment, Karachi's wall again were filled with such slogans 'Muhajir Sooba Zaroori hai'.. Why don't they raise voice against such slogans, if they are really against the division of Sindh.
They don't have courage to see lines ' Aman ki jang.. Afaq ke sang' and whitewash such lines, but they don't use such techniques to remove messages for Muhajir Sooba written on walls in their areas like FB Area, Nazimabad, etc to avoid confusion leading to harsh statements.

On all that reply you missed the point I made in my post.
Your talking about Difa e Pakistan Council's demands about continue to hold NATO supplies has nothing to do with MQM. For an example I posted an article where it was obvious that the decision is in the hands of army and parliament. Nothing to do with MQM.

Again talking about 'aslaha khareed lo' statement is only half truth. That was a wrong statement but it was made after Sindhi nationalists had already shown their colors by attacking Urdu speaking people in Pakka Qila, Hyderabad.
Sindhi nationalists did not start after talks of creation of another province. They started long time ago. I would say in 70s when quota system and language bill were introduced.

What's wrong with Sindhi language? If majority of Sindhi wanted Sindhi to be language of Sindh why this created pain now? As regard quota system, Liaqat Ali Khan introduced for people migrating from India to get lucrative jobs, ignoring the rights of local people.

Stop being personal.
Not surprised with this racist attitude.
I can reply in kind. Sindhi language of majority? Liaqat Ali? *Stop yourself from walking on this path of hatred.
*
It will bring nothing but destruction to you and everyone. What has this hateful bigotry brought to common Sindhi speaking people?
It was those Sindhis who had first attacked Urdu speaking women at Pakka Qila? Why not talk about that? If it is tit for tat then call it just that.

You are not right .
This was said soon after first conspiracy of firing at Sohrab Goth .
MQM is not much responsible .
Responsible were our intermediate pass intellectuals for this all .
Re: Altaf warns nationalists against using ‘threatening language’

Altaf said it multiple times. And he said that because of various incidences and threatening language being used by various people against Urdu speaking people and MQM.
I do not think encouraging people to pick up guns was the smartest of advises. It was proved later that this advice brought suffering to Karachi itself.
Same thing happened with Zulfiqar Mirza arming Lyari gangsters against Urdu speaking people. This resulted in deterioration of security and peace in Lyari itself.
It proves that violence begets violence. And therefore the need is to stop ALL violence, instead of selecting based on ethnicity. If MQM and Urdu speaking are to be blamed for violence then so are others like PPP Sindhis and ANP Pashtuns. Just condemning one community/party and putting all blame on them is unjust and shows prejudice of people who that.
Re: Altaf warns nationalists against using ‘threatening language’
Nothing wrong with any community , Actually foolishness of our establishment and the dirty Takht e Lahore mentality is responsible for most disasters . I remember Pir Pagarah who opposed Karachi making a part of Sindh in 1970 .
He insisted to keep Karachi as a federal district . Same happened with Gawadar ,Four states of Baluchistan , Khairpur .Dir , Sawat and Chitral . The worst was done with Bahawalpur .
Nothing new.. Bhai ka purana style hai… aag laga kar zakhmi hone walon ke liye rona.
