Re: Imran Ismail attacked by MQM goons
Nothing. PTI has never been in power in Karachi.
There was a time where MQM terrorists wouldn’t even allow Imran to enter Karachi (as if Karachi is their baap ki jageer) or he would need almost presidential level security just to move from one place to another in the City. MQM pigs killed one PTI’s founding members, injured two of the party workers after the 2013 elections. Recently look what MQM thugs did with Imran Ismaeel when he was doing his bit of on the ground campaigning. So in a nutshell PTI has never got the chance to do any open public campaigning in Karachi. They are not PPP or ANP who could fight MQM with guns and maintain control and create a local vote bank on the basis of ethnicity.
When you have MQM terrorists on TV making veiled threats to PTI leaders and ordinary workers, it doesn’t surprise why local PTI workers and members are reluctant to take ownership of their work. These workers and supporters can bring an absolute storm in Punjab yet for some reason, they can’t freely express themselves in Karachi? Despite all that, PTI has managed to earn visible support and sympathy in Karachi. They have created a niche vote bank of their own. Of course MQM would still manage to get the ethencity vote just like PPP, PMLN, ANP and nationalist. MQM supporters should stop this charade how they are better than all other party supporters and don’t vote on the basis of ethnicity.
