MQM asking for Army to intervene

– Only because they now (after fighting their fight for (what they consider) their territory for months and killing innocent people in process) seem to think that they are losing that fight and in process losing their control/hold over some parts of the city to their opponents (ANP/Other MQM/PPP), so they are not calling army in because they want to keep Karachi peaceful, but now they want army’s guns fight their battle for them and help them regain the control. I think army is too smart to fall for this at this point.

– Also, Army has to remember that if they go into Karachi on MQM’s plead, and help bring peace back to city via an operation, how can they trust MQM to NOT TO portray army (10 years from now)as someone who did bloodshed in Karachi and not someone who killed the goons. Army was asked to come and do an operation in 90’s and since that day, MQM portrays army as the brutal killing force that did nothing other than bloodshed in Karachi?

– MQM recently used the example of 90’s operation to “request” indian government to give asylum to mazlooum karachiates after they suffered from the horrible hands of Pak army. So on one hand they ask for Indian Govt for Assylum and same week they ask for Pak Army to help them in Karachi?

Above makes me wonder if they mean Indian Army to come and do an operation in Karachi and not Pakistani army?

Good post
