The 1st step would be ACKNOWLEDGING it, and dun label this beast to only one faction of society. MQM is not a party of ANGELS, no doubt about it, but ignoring the fact that there are some elements who are capable of equaly barbaric acts is plain ignorance. .
I agree, ignorance is a virtue for many here, we have seen and experienced barbaric acts from other side of these conflicts in Karachi and other parts of the country. It's not that you can clap with just one hand.
Violence to resolve issues related to violence is not the answer. we witnessed that after 1992 operation and Qilla operation in Hyderabad. Not many people know that after operation "clean up" in Hyderabad MQM grew stroger than ever (in Hyderabad). Even when all MQM leadership was running all over the world, HYderabad remained the stronghold. any idea why? The answer is in events of 26th & 27th May 1990..
That's what the case is... The support for MQM came because people in Karachi and Hyderabad felt threatened for their very existance and supported in numbers for MQM. Many had their brothers, fathers , uncles working for MQM(not in their terror camps but just as civilians for any political party).
