Bhatta mafia in karachi....

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi…

**To restore peace in Karachi, Mohajir Qaumi Movement-Haqiqi (MQM-H) and Awami National Party (ANP) has decided to form a grand alliance.
**

While speaking at a joint press conference in Islamabad on Sunday, MQM-H chief Afaq Ahmed said a delegation of the grand alliance would also meet Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) chief, Altaf Hussain.

Rejecting the notion that Karachi is facing an ethnic conflict, ANP Senator Zahid Khan said different mafias active in the city were behind the deteriorating situation. Adding to the point, ANP leader Shahi Syed said that he has no links with the extortion mafia or the “bori mafia”.

**
Protest against extortion**

On Saturday, traders and transporters in Karachi and other urban centres of Sindh observed a shutter-down and wheel-jam strike in support of the MQM’s protest against ‘rising incidents of extortion in Karachi. Unlike the past, this time around the strike remained largely peaceful.

The business community also warned that extortion cases have once again started spiralling out of control and if the government does not take action, the situation may worsen like last year’s chaos.

The problem is not just in that area rather throughout the city.

Actually, some businessmen know where the problem lies:

While some demanded action against the Lyari Aman Committee, others called for the removal of the Sindh Home Minister, Zulfiqar Mirza.

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi....


You don't get it, do you? Here is how it goes:

Army tells MQM to kill pashtun/pakhtun. Then Army tells ANP to kill mohajirs. Then army tells Balochis (from Amn Committe) to kill Mohajirs. Then army forces university to give honorary degrees, army then also forces Zardari to award Presidential Award. You see, it is all army's drama.

^ You missed the dirtiest dirty dirty politician and takht-e-lahore's role in all of this. What a shame! :(

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi…

Are these businessmen on drugs? Isn’t ZM gone long time ago. He also left PPP. Looks like drugs have affected their retard brains too.

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi…

^ Everything makes sense until it involves MQM in any negative activity. You suddenly become abusive as soon as someone mentions that ZM or Lyari is involved in destroying the city.

In another raid, two gangsters involved in extortion were arrested from Pir Illahi Bux (PIB) Colony. Acting on the complaints of the traders, PIB Colony police came into action and arrested Ghulam Brohi and Noor Din after an encounter while they were entering into the area on Saturday night. They were said to be affiliated with** Lyari gangster Arshad Papu**.

In another raid, Nippier police claimed arresting a man** Hameed Baloch** alias Chingari and recovering TT pistol from his possession. SHO Imdad Khwaja said Chingari is the resident of Chakiwara, Lyari and he has also links with Lyari gang war members.

DSP Wasif Qureshi said three extortionists managed to flee from the scene during encounter, adding that both the accused were involved in several cases of extortions and other crimes. They hailed from interior Sindh and southern Punjab.

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi…

Spock wanted MQM to lead by example and end their own bhattakhori to begin with. What will it take for him to accept that MQM really is not the culprit in present situation?
Let’s see.

‘Not receiving calls doesn’t help, they text us threats’ | Pakistan Today | Latest news | Breaking news | Pakistan News | World news | Business | Sport and Multimedia](http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2012/03/01/city/karachi/‘not-receiving-calls-doesn’t-help-they-text-us-threats’/)
KARACHI - The bhatta (extortion) mafia is sending SMS messages to businessmen industrialists asking them to pay money, Mian Zahid Hussain, former chairman of the Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI) and a leading industrialist, told Pakistan Today in an exclusive interview.
Different extortionist groups are using the names of the Awami National Party (ANP), Jeay Sindh and the Lyari group to extort money,” he added.
“The criminals of the bhatta mafia threaten us that they know where our children study and they will kidnap them if we do not fulfill their demands.”

Surprisingly, no one is using the name of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) as this party has not only dissociated itself from the elements extorting money, but also discouraging them.
The industrialist pointed out that in some cases, extortionists use the name of the ANP on their own. “In a few extortion cases, the businessmen immediately contacted Karachi’s ANP leaders, who sent their men to the spot where the criminals were demanding money using the name of their party and had those people kicked out of there,” he added.

He said following the footsteps of the MQM, all other parties of Sindh, especially those in Karachi, should declare that they will not patronise the gangsters involved in extortion.

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi....

Khoji: you do not have to care about those who write from servant quarters of Raiwand or Bilawal House. :)

Anyhow ... it seems people from outside Karachi thinks that Mujahirs (actually, Karachiets and urban Sindh) are idiots that they support a party who takes Bhatta from them and also kill them. Fact is that Karachiets (and urban Sindh) who supports MQM are not idiots rather they are very intelligent and highly educated. They live in reality, use their brain, and know who takes Bhatta and kill in Karachi, and also know that all this Bhatta and killing accusations on MQM are mostly propaganda and lies of parasites.

For instance, I have 1000s of relatives living in Karachi, all of them are educated and most of them are professionals working in Pakistan or abroad. Many are PhDs, Medical doctors, Engineers, MBAs, CAs, Bankers, Managers, Lawyers, Bureaucrats, and even Businessmen. If there was truth that MQM takes Bhatta and kill, then I would have heard the stories too, alleging MQM. Unfortunately, what I know is that it is not MQM but it is mostly PPP and ANP who are collecting Bhatta, killing innocent (not political opponents but innocent civilians), and also grabbing lands.

[My plot of 400 sq yds in Ahsanabad, and 3 other residential and commercial plots belonging to my family, all of them are of 400 sq yds in Ahsanabad, are illegally occupied by PPP (who are illegally occupying most of Ahsanabad). There are many societies in north Karachi that are mostly occupied illegally by PPP and Pathans supported by ANP. ... and I know also of houses forcefully grabbed by ANP in Husain-de-Silva town].

Muhajirs of Karachi in past voted PML, JI, PPP and JUP and know that all these political parties took votes but never served, or defended interest of Karachi. They also know that amongst all political parties Karachi voted, only MQM worked for their interest and served Karachi, making them realise that their future can be only secured with MQM. Actually, with time, MQM support is increasing in Sindh, not decreasing.

Well, there is a twist in story too. Karachiets also have opinion of people from outside Karachi, especially voters of Punjab and rural Sindh. Karachiets think that these people are mental slaves of Rich industrialists and feudal lords, so they vote Rich industrialists and feudal lords even when those they elect kill them using private army or police force, exploit and deprive them of their every rights, grab their assets free if it is worth, make them do force labour, keep them in their private prisons, humiliate them in every way, treat them like animals, gang rape their women and make these women march naked on roads.

Karachiets want these people to get educated and come out of their mental slavery, stop getting influenced by propagandas and lies, use some intelligence and think of themselves as equals, take their life in their own hands, and start electing people from amongst them (not necessarily MQM but from amongst them who are equal to them), and be partner in making Pakistan a prosperous and just land, free from exploitation and slavery.

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi....

LOL yeah , for an average Karachite , who has hardly ever visited any other place in this country, except may be the Northen areas on holiday trips , and have no iota of understanding of people living outside Karachi
they have these perception , that any and everything outside is infested with Jagirdars and Wadeyras ..etc..etc...etc.... Brain washing of the highest order.

I have a suggestion for them ,visit their own Old city when the streets are clear , Look as Mohata Palace , Hindu Gymkhana , Mama Parsi School , Jahangir Kothari Promenade which now is renamed Bagh-e-ibn-e-qasim , Flag Staff building , Frere hall would be two obvious, Frere Market or for that matter , Empress Market , KMC building , Sindh High Court building and god knows how many such more structures , whether they are now in Lee Market or Kharadar or Meethadar or elsewhere .........think ,and pause and ask themselves a question , ....!! Where are these people , who built these magnificent creations ...?? where are they gone , ....?? where are the Old Trams ..?? what happened to them ...??

these are the remnants of the Educated Urbane Middle Class of Sindh , ..which is no more with us , and then question the term " Educated " which they call themselves...!!

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi....

M A Jinnah was sent to Karachi , to get education in the Best Insitutes of those times , and it was Hasan Afindi's Sindh Madrasa ....!!

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi....

Dr Rahman Malik is in Karachi hopefully he will sort this out as well keeping in mind his track record regarding target killings in Karachi.

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi....

In that case, how many of those non-karachiites passing judgement on karachi have actually visited karachi for more than a few days? As for those people who did that (how ambiguous), let me tell you that they were hindus and parsis that since partition moved to india (a lot). Sindhi muslims were treated like scum back then by their balochi sindhi overlords and are now as well even with the supposed rise of a sindhi middle class, though there is none in the feudal rural areas.

He was born in karachi. A lot of people have their early education in Pakistan and then go to the US or UK like Jinnah did to become a barrister.

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi....

I think you need to read about Hassan Ali Afandi, Mirza Qaleech Baig, Moulana Ubaid ullah Sindhi, Ghulam Ali Allana, Allama I I Qazi's contributions to Sindhi society, before generalising the things.

Re: Bhatta mafia in karachi....

Muqawee, these seem like names of philosophers but the point is that when it came time for the grunt work, sindhi society has generally been very behind. If there are millions of people like the names you mentioned, then why haven't the people been led to revolt against their feudal oppressors? Balochistan might get fixed one day as it develops, but sindh / southern punjab is really in a rut and people there need to rise up for their own betterment and the betterment of state of Pakistan.
