ive not heard anything to suggest it will ever happen.
is it the case that there is no plans to prosecute the killers of may 12th?
Re: justice for karachi victims?
lets not just stop at persecuting the killers of may 2 though, lets bring other roaches to justice too, incldung that son of a bytch naseerullah barbarian
Re: justice for karachi victims?
^with regard to all the issues i remain on the side of stability and development for pakistan with only one central government with a ingrained respect for religion.
as far as im aware (thanks wiki) naseerullah barber collected the brainwashed sentiments leftover from soviet invasion and setup a government of sorts. surely not properly rehabing the fighters was a bigger mistake committed by many many more people the world over? im no taliban supporter btw
now mr fraudia, im not very anti musharraf either, but wouldnt you agree that if the killers of may 12th are not brought to justice musharraf should walk?
Re: justice for karachi victims?
We should hold all rulers accountable, if ALL the killers and participating parties are not brought to justice, he should step down. In addition, if the next govt cant bring ALL particpating parties to justice, they should step down, and anyone who left open issues and did not bring them to a right coclusion during their tenures, should not be given another chance.
Thats my stance.
Re: justice for karachi victims?
We're still waiting for justice for the victims of genocide of 1971 against Bengalis by pak army and 1990's genocide against Mohajirs.
Re: justice for karachi victims?
well...mqm has proof that the violence was perpetrated by the opposition...
then isnt it mind boggling that mqm only suffered 2-3 casualities...and most of the casualities suffered were by opposition workers...
there's still no justification of the barricades at shahrah e faisal, and the blockades at malir bar and karachi bar...and what was mqm rally doing on the airport...firing on aaj tv...
if mqm is not guilty of anything...and the cj and the opposition is responsible for the killings then they should conduct a judicial enquiry and bring the responsible people to justice...

oh well...who was sending the bori band lashes in 1990's?
mqm's 'peaceful' politics is not new...and now with independent media people have seen the 'peaceful' mqm workers controlling 'their' city...and serving their city a great repute...

PML Sindh members demand judicial probe into May 12 violence
Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: Federal Narcotics Minister Ghaus Bux Mahar, Sindh Pakistan Muslim League (PML) leader Maqbool Ahmed Sheikh, Education Minister Dr Hameeda Khohru and Senator SM Zafar urged the federal and Sindh governments on Tuesday to constitute an impartial judicial commission to hold an inquiry into the May 12 violence in Karachi that left more than 42 dead.
Speaking at a meeting of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the Pakistan Muslim League (PML), held here at Prime Minister’s House to discuss the May 12 violence, they criticised the Sindh government and MQM’s role in the violence. They said the matter must be probed independently to build public trust in the party and win the upcoming general elections. **Sindh Chief Minister Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim said the MQM should not be solely held responsible for the May 12 violence, adding that the government was equally at fault for trying to block opposition parties ‘ attempts to welcome Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry.
**
Dr Khohru said there was no ‘government’ in Karachi on May 12 and the government should form a judicial inquiry. **Most CEC members blamed the MQM for the killings but supported it as a coalition partner.
SM Zafar said a judicial and national commission must inquire into the MQM or any other party’s role in this crisis.** He told the government to review its strategy towards the judiciary and lawyers to ease the tension. Earlier, Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri also said that the issue was of a sensitive nature and the government should look into it.
The CEC meeting, which lasted four hours, was jointly presided over by Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz and the PML president. Former prime minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali did not attend the CEC meeting after resigning from basic PML membership on Monday over differences with the party president and government. Jamali expressed reservations over the party leadership with President General Pervez Musharraf at a meeting in the presidential camp office in Rawalpindi. The president, however, asked him to concentrate on the upcoming elections.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz told a press conference that the PML has decided to form a policy-planning group to start consultations with central and provincial party leaders in order to devise a comprehensive strategy for future elections. “The policy planning group will be chaired by me, while central and provincial PML heads will be its members,” he added.
He said the PML would also start a mass mobilisation drive before general elections, adding that the present assemblies would complete their five-year tenure. He said he had refused to accept Nilofar Bakhtiar’s resignation from the Tourism Ministry. Addressing the same press conference, Sindh CM Dr Rahim said a judicial inquiry would not be conducted into the May 12 incident and the provincial government would investigate the matter itself. He rejected the impression that the MQM was behind the Karachi violence, saying its activities had tried to counter opposition parties.
Re: justice for karachi victims?
like in the past this issue will be shelved away...but this will haunt mqm for a very long time to come...
Re: justice for karachi victims?
lol we have a new jiyala of MQM....:D
Pople of karachi should stop electing MQM and yes they deserve justice, MQM and allies should be brought to justice.
Re: justice for karachi victims?
Lusi so elections in Karachi were fair and square?
one one hand we hear ppl complain that there is no democracy in the country because elections are rigged
on the other hand we hear peope of karachi should stop electing MQM
both statements cant be true.
Re: justice for karachi victims?
^^ yaar all the karachiites in my neighborhood went and voted for mqm... all pairay likhay loag and they admit what MQM is doing in karachi but still they went and voted for MQM. I am just talking what I see, I am sure they are rigged but who is in control when it comes to karachi... so ya they are not all fair and stuff but people do go out and vote for MQM. They need to stop that.
Re: justice for karachi victims?
Hitler was elected too..
Re: justice for karachi victims?
all the karachites in your neighbourhood are not the entire city. did u go and vote for MQm too? and if you did not how do you know who else did not. half the time ppl say they voted for te iggest ghunda whether they did or not because they dont want some ghunda chitrol the next day.
who is in control when it comes to karachi, well lets see, the rest of the country is controlled by military, so that logically leads us to the conclusion that karachi would be controlled by the nagan chorngi raddi wala association?
Re: justice for karachi victims?
Hitler was elected too..
yeah so was benazir....twice.
so was the only civilian martial law administrator in our history.
Re: justice for karachi victims?
Fraudz,
I know my neighbouhood isn't the entire karachi but it is a fact the majority of karachiites votes for MQM. WHy didn't they boycott MQM after 94-95 MQM operation. The people I am talking about are not at all forced, they went and voted on their own will and these people should stop and there are plenty of them.
Though army is ruling the country but still they have a strong hold in in karachi. So ya they force people but there are people who support them aswell. And these are no jahils but educated people.
Re: justice for karachi victims?
so in all of pakistan, karachi has free and clear voting i.e. ther eis no tampering and thus the ruling party comes ot power by free and clear voting??
kewl. why is the rest of the nation lame thatthey cant do the same and then whine about rigged elections?
Re: justice for karachi victims?
I never said they don't do tempering but at the same time there are people who actually vote for mqm on their own will and they need to stop.
but ya people who support qazi hussain ahmed, BB, nawaz and others should also stop voting for them...

this makes sense and reads a lot different than your initial statement.
Re: justice for karachi victims?
I thought I said the same before (atleast it was the same idea) but I am glad it has cleared my initial statements...:D
