Re: Imran to file case against Altaf! (merged)
I think MQM-PTI alliance will happen. There is going to be protest, but in the end their official party members will meet and agree on certain things and release a joint statement. Imran will get his exposure and media time, MQM will get its much needed damage control. Everyone goes home happy.
Imran knows his protest against MQM is a flop. I mean 300 people showed up. Come on, MQM can make a nod and 10,000 will show up in London.

Reconciliation with MQM only if it quits ‘terror’, says Imran
**Daily Times Monitor
**
LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan says reconciliation with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) is possible **provided the party quits “the politics of fear and terror”.
**
In an interview with Geo television, Khan said he had no personal enmity with the MQM or its chief Altaf Hussain, but he decided to sue Hussain when MQM activists fired at unarmed PTI workers on May 12 in Karachi.
Khan quoted a former MQM officer bearer as saying that he himself had heard Hussain addressing the MQM leadership at Nine Zero, the party’s headquarters in Karachi, on May 11 in which he allegedly said the party would have to “save” President Gen Pervez Musharraf because Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain had lost his grip on politics in Punjab.
Khan said Hussain had once criticised the Pakistan Army in New Delhi and called the division of India an injustice to the Sub-Continent. “Gen Musharraf, the Pakistan Army and all the intelligence agencies know everything about the MQM’s style of politics and its leader Altaf Hussain,” he said. The PTI chairman said Gen Musharraf had himself told Muslim League leaders in February 1999 that Altaf Hussain was the most wanted terrorist in Pakistan. Khan said he had approached former interior minister Naseerullah Babar to gather evidence against Hussain, adding that some widows had also contacted him to provide evidence. He said he would register a case against Hussain in a British court only after gathering sufficient proof.
Khan said his party’s leadership in Karachi was receiving threats from the MQM and one of his party’s leaders had quit the PTI because of this.
Asked to comment on rumours that a video would soon be released showing Khan enjoying a party at a friend’s house, the PTI chairman said he was ready to face any scandal.

ANI = Asian News International - Real name ANIIN (ANI India)
And like you two MWP and Mr. F, I am too shocked at this news piece.
I think India has a vested interest in Altaf and they are cooking up news to make it seem like Imran is doing muk-muka with altaf and MQM. Imran simply can not be as stupid as that, we are talking tof a brilliant tactician who alienated many but won the world cup because he had a vidsion of the end goal.
I am sorry I refuse to believe this trash until and unless some credible news source reports it.
I have very high hopes that this is not true.
Re: Imran to file case against Altaf! (merged)
I think its too early to call the odds.
Imran is emotional and giving interviews left and right. So he will be quoted with different headings.
We have to wait and see.
Re: Imran to file case against Altaf! (merged)
I think MQM-PTI alliance will happen.
MQM can make a nod and 10,000 will show up in London.
LOL, u wish
Check back on your claim in a few months, nothing will come of it

Same ANI also reports this today…
Imran’s party gives 90 day deadline to Britain to probe MQM chief’s activities
From our ANI Correspondent
London, June 4:The British Government has been given 90 days by Imran Khan’s Tehrik-i-Insaf (TI) party to probe the ‘illegal’ activities of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain, a British citizen, and ‘bring him to book’.
In a memorandum presented at 10 Downing Street on Sunday after an hour-long demonstration by some 300 people, local TI leaders alleged that Altaf Hussain was responsible for numerous incidents of torture and killings in Pakistan and that the funds collected through extortion by his party men were being used to facilitate the MQM’s criminal activities.
According to the Dawn, the memorandum further states that he was a British national and should be held accountable for these activities in the UK.
The demonstration, led by local TI leaders, and was also attended by PML-N workers as well as Pakistani students and lawyers. They raised slogans against President Musharraf and Hussain.
Imran Khan did not attend the demonstration as he was busy meeting important UK legislators and lawyers to brief them on his case against Altaf Hussain.
On Sunday afternoon, the Lawyers’ Forum, UK, held an hour-long demonstration in front of the MQM’s international headquarters here. They were holding placards which read: Disarm the MQM, Prosecute Altaf Hussain.
Imran Khan says he is planning to use the British courts to sue Hussein.
Khan claims that Hussein was responsible for last month’s violence in Karachi, which left over 40 dead and many more injured.
“The MQM is a terrorist organisation and how can British Premier Tony Blair allow it to function from London when he is supposedly fighting war on terror,” the Independent quoted Khan, as saying last week.
Human rights groups and opponents of MQM have accused it of deliberately stirring up the riots in Karachi last month.
If Khan succeeds in launching legal proceedings against Hussein, it would be a remarkable twist in the already turbulent world of Pakistani politics.
“I have huge numbers of people who are willing to testify against Hussein in a British court,” said Khan.
Meanwhile, a spokesman of the MQM has dismissed Khan’s threats as little more than political gimmickry and vowed to fight any legal proceedings.
“Unfortunately this is dirty Pakistani politics,” Tariq Mir, who heads up the MQM’s legal team in Britain, said.
Over the past 12 months the situation in Pakistan has become grim. There have been political assassinations and disappearances, and a major judiciary crisis, sparked off by President Pervez Musharraf’s suspension of the Chief Justice, Iftikhar Mumammad Chaudhry.

Re: Imran to file case against Altaf! (merged)
Okay someone tell me on whose damn payroll is dailytimes?
How frikkin convenient, Imran goes to UK to start proceedings against this ghunda, and now all of a sudden reports are out that he wants to work with them.
This is the crap desi politics and biased ‘journalism’ that puts me off.
It appears certain quarters do not like to see Imran get the publicity because he is doing that they did not have the balls to do, and they puppets are now cookign up stories.
I mean the start of the article mentions his possible alliance with MQm, and the end mentions him ‘enjoying’ a party..
so great, u tr to alienate ppl who hate altaf by indicating that Imran is doing muk-muka, at the end of the article you bring up his past in between the lines and his lifestyle then and thus try to push away the more conservative ppl.
trash journalism I tell you. calculated and designed to hurt his image.
sallu is imrans webmaster, I request him to talk to imran and clear it up, because this shyt is unbelievable.
bah..i hate reading such trash

I know.
but that is the state of the media .....they give more impetus to mud slinging rather than fact based journalism...
Re: Imran to file case against Altaf! (merged)
yeah yeah yeah, so they attempt to look unbiased and ‘just reporting’. I dont think so. I trust ANI or indian media in general about as much as I trust Banezir. i.e. zero.
its not in indias interest to get altaf in trouble because if he starts chirping like a canary about the support he has received from India, that would make some major news that the ‘biggest democracy’ in the world was supporting a two bit thug terrorist.
Re: Imran to file case against Altaf! (merged)
Watch Imran Khan’s second interview which aired last night on GEO in US…it strictly deals with MQM…this is an eye opener for those still supporting MQM openly, sub-consciously, and or in a closet…
Re: Imran to file case against Altaf! (merged)
amzzing to see imran go on MQM mouthpiece and hold his own. This interview also proves that the stories posted here from ANI and from daily times is bunk and just trash designed to hurt Imran's cause.
screw court case I want Imran to use altaf as wickets and then just do some fast bowls
PS: yeah..that means guliaan urra doh..
PS2: the reporter is a complete jackass and obviously biased.

If you think this reporter is biased, watch Imran's interview on CNBC with an anchor, named Mujahid, who looks like he just passed out of MQM's propanganda academy...

Re: Imran to file case against Altaf! (merged)
I think it was a great interview. Reporter grilled him accuratly. I think he has been exposed. All he has is hearsay and no facts. Comparing MQM politics with Hitler, when PPP and PML (N) have majority, when army has it say. When feudal politics is in full flow.
He did not rule out alliance with MMA and expressed his support for PML (N). There were so many holes in this interview. No coherency at all. He could not answer or explain the simple question, which was his failure to fill the spot when BB and Nawaz were absent for half decade.
Re: Imran to file case against Altaf! (merged)
mwap
There were holes in the interview because the interviewer kept running on tangents, anytime he got challenged, he went on a diff angle..ranging from why altaf is a terrorist, in the start when he questioned imrans statement aout alyaf's statements in india and he proved it then thius reporter ran in a diff direction.
dita white, party in somene's house. cricket career tabah of karachi ppl, betting in cricket... etc etc etc come on. this is no interview..this was a bloody interrogation.
Imran answered each question. what did u expect, he would being a stack of documents with him to the interview?
and imran could not fill in national poltiical void is because he has not played the ethnicity card like MQM, PPP.PML and ANP.
as far as corruption of PPP and PML(N) and feudlaism and all, they are evils as well, but that was not under discussion and the reporter did not ask questions on that either really
Re: Imran to file case against Altaf! (merged)
will look at it once i am done with the geo interviews. I am off today so have all the free time
