Re: Minister Zulfiqar mirza resigns! And makes serious allegations on Altaf Hussain
Dr. Zulfiqar Mirza is a such a Sufi , angel and so pious that we should believe what he says with his hand on Quran.
He saw that his political future is at stake because of surgical operation in Lyari which he was so opposed to but nobody paid any heed to his protest. Therefore he has resigned. His party supports RM wholeheartedly why he did not resign from the party ? Why is his wife still Speaker of NA , she has no beef with RM ? This is all a drama to save the face and win the next election from Lyari. He is a drama queen and a self professed big badmash.
In a successful operation A large cache of arms was recovered from there.
Re: Minister Zulfiqar mirza resigns! And makes serious allegations on Altaf Hussain
Is it that simple to cover all his statements alongwith evidence (including letter to Toni Blair for disbanding ISI, names of killers, investigation reports for murder of Wali Khan Babar) as an attempt to save his political career. This needs investigation and a clear response from MQM to prove that all what Mirza said holding Quran e Pak in his hand was wrong.
Re: Minister Zulfiqar mirza resigns! And makes serious allegations on Altaf Hussain
Question would arise when MQM would start doing the killings. Whatever killings happening at present, I believe MQM is not involved in those killings. I have already written my believes regarding people involved in present wave of Karachi killings and reason why (in post 66)
Waisay, it would be first welcoming step that Karachi should get its fair share in funds, quota and seats. Karachi demands equal treatment because resident of Karachi do not consider themselves as occupied people but consider themselves as part of Pakistan and Pakistan should stop treating Karachi as occupied land and resident of Karachi as occupied people. Fear the day when people of Karachi would stop demanding equal treatment, as then situation could become irretrievable.
Re: Minister Zulfiqar mirza resigns! And makes serious allegations on Altaf Hussain
Lyari aur Malir … they give tax or not, they deserve fair share of development as rest of Karachi.
So, you check the reality and you will find that lyari has seen more development work done in every sector by MQM Mayor (Mustafa Kamal) than it has seen development done by any past administrator of Karachi, including those they always voted (that is PPP).
Re: Minister Zulfiqar mirza resigns! And makes serious allegations on Altaf Hussain
I will tell you why. He made Zardari president & he is indirectly responsible for death of BB. Whether they were in cahoot or not is something that we need to find out.
If not, after 3.5 years of PPP govt how come no one has been arrested when Zardari said he know who killed her 3 years ago?
Re: Minister Zulfiqar mirza resigns! And makes serious allegations on Altaf Hussain
Putting down facts are instigating emotions? How come?
From what I can see, all those discriminations, injustices, alienation, exploitations, and pushing communities to the wall have forced people in Karachi to stop voting ethnic oriented bias parties like PML, PPP, JI, JUI, JUP, etc … such that whole city has created a party to represent their grievances … and still when part of Pakistan wants to ignore those discrimination, injustices, exploitations and grievances calling it ‘instigating emotion of exploited’, in my view that is not only unpatriotic but could cause split in Pakistan … something that happened in 1971, in process of happening in Baluchistan and could happen in Karachi as well as Sindh.
Re: Minister Zulfiqar mirza resigns! And makes serious allegations on Altaf Hussain
^ Yes everyone should fear from the day when ppl start raising voices for their rights. When they know who is the victim and who is the exploiter. Fear the day, when ppl of Lyari & Malir raise their voices for their due rights from the robbers of their funds on the name of so called development.
Re: Minister Zulfiqar mirza resigns! And makes serious allegations on Altaf Hussain
Write a letter to Tony Blair to disband ISI … Who told you about that?
1: Tony Blair
2: Altaf Hussain
3: British Government has unclassified that letter after 20 years
4: Ayea (maidservant) in Dubai BB apartment who also produced a letter written by BeNazir making Zardari heir (Waris) of slaves (Jiyalas) she has if she dies
5: Zulfiqar Mirza agents (Jasoos) who managed to get into British government archive of Tony Blair’s time
Second question can be answered once first is answered.
I have not suggested that ZM is working against interest of Urdu speaking SIndhis. What I suggested is that ZM is fighting to keep PPP hopes of forming next Sindh government alive. Read my post again. Here is what I wrote so read carefully:
Now coming to the problem of PPP in Sindh and why PPP is worried and why all the killings happening in Karachi.
Situation in Sindh is that corrupt government of PPP is losing their support very fast in their Karachi strongholds (PPP have 6 seats in Karachi) and also all over other parts of Sindh, as they have done nothing for people other than corruption and abuses. Party that is increasing their influence fast is MQM, not only in Karachi but all over Sindh amongst Sindhi speaking as well as Baloch, Punjabi and Pakhtun voters, where many voters who were traditionally voters of PPP or other parties are joining MQM. In last election (2008), PPP got around 3.5 million votes in Sindh whereas MQM got just over 2.5 million votes.
Numerical situation in SIndh Assembly is that, PPP got 72 out of 130 elected seats in 2008 (and that also with help of ‘jali votes’ and sympathy votes due to BB death). PPP only need to lose 8 seats to become minority and lose Sindh government. PPP has 6 seats in Karachi and expect to lose few to MQM in next election. PPP is also expected to lose many provincial assembly seats to MQM in other parts of Sindh too. MQM has 39 seats but expect to make substantial gain in next election.
It is expected that next government of Sindh could be of MQM [probably in coalition with PML (presently 8 seats), PML-F(presently 6 seats) and NNP (presently 3 seats)] .
Zulfiqar Mirza thinks that killings in Karachi and blaming MQM for that would create ethnic rift in Sindh and thus fearing MQM rise, Sindhi, Baloch and Pakhtun voters in Sindh would not vote MQM, rather they would take refuge in voting PPP, thus would make MQM popularity weaker. Zulfiqar Mirza also thinks that these killing and blaming MQM would make MQM lose votes in Karachi too. Hence all the killings perpetrated by PPP and front man Zulfiqar Mirza.
Note: Karachi demography at present is:
Muhajirs:
Urdu speaking Muhajirs: ~ 50 percent
Non-Urdu speaking Muhajirs (Gujrati, Marathi, Kathiawari, Memoni, Bengali, Persian, and others): ~ 20 percent.
Punjabis (many are Muhajir of East Punjab): ~13 percent
Pathans (many are from Afghanistan): ~10 percent
Sindhis: ~5 percnet
Makranis/Balochs: ~2 percent
Some Sindhis, some Balochs, some Punjabis and most Pathans are non-voters in Karachi as they are registered as voters in their home places in Balochistan, interior Sindh, Punjab and NWFP (Afghans and large number of Bengali and Persian settlers have no voting right).
Anyhow … MQM in Karachi does not only get votes from majority of Urdu speaking Muhajirs (around 50 percent of Karachi’s population) and Muhajir communities speaking Gujrati, Marathi, Kathiawari, Memoni, Bengali, Persian, and others (consisting around 20 percent of population) … but MQM gets most votes from Karachiets who are Punjabis (around 13 percent) and substantial votes of Pathans (10 percent). MQM also get some votes from Sindhis and Balochies living in Karachi (around 7 percent of population).
Answer of question 3 gives the answer of question 4 too regarding person or party responsible of killings.
Point to note: Whatever is happening in Karachi is obvious. When a party that represents people do not rule an area rather area is ruled by a party that is in conflict with the people’s choice (PPP rules Karachi when people do not vote PPP but vote MQM), then conflicts is bound to happen at local level. Solution to Karachi situation is democracy, where people chose person (Mayor) who administers all local problems (for that, free and fair local body election should be held with full administrative and executive powers to whoever wins).
Re: Minister Zulfiqar mirza resigns! And makes serious allegations on Altaf Hussain
Obviously there should be judicial enquiry and probe regarding present wave of killings in Karachi. I am sure such probe would uncover the faces of many angels sitting in Islamabad and Larkana, and their pet poodle sitting in Peshawar-Sarhad, who are trying to rule or trying to increase their influence in Karachi not through election (people’s vote) but using state power and hired killers.
Same here, as I also have no doubt in my mind that overwhelming majority of Sindhi speaking Sindhis, Balochs, Punjabis and Pathans would not like to exploit or abuse people of Karachi as they are as much patriotic as Urdu speakers of Karachi. But what can one do about unpatriotic herd of wolves in sheep skins greedy of exploitations and lynching Karachiets and wealth generated by Karachiets … hence wanting to make Karachi their colony and people of Karachi their occupied slaves.
You are right. Actually, you should go further and demand that Karachi should be governed by people of Karachi, and hence fair ‘powerful’ local body election should be held electing people who have complete power of administration and executive controls of Karachi so that people of Karachi should prosper.
Re: Minister Zulfiqar mirza resigns! And makes serious allegations on Altaf Hussain
When purpose of killing is to defame MQM and party so that results could get affected in next general election, than what is happening is obvious happening by perpetrators of such killings. Don’t you think so?
Re: Minister Zulfiqar mirza resigns! And makes serious allegations on Altaf Hussain
Yes, its very obvious b/c most of killings are done by MQM. They kill anyone who they consider enemy including their own. Imran Farooq is a good example what they are capable of doing.
Zardari made a biggest blunder in touching LB system, now is standing between devil and deep blue sea.
At first his angered MQM by restoring old district base system.
A quick reversal in order to appease MQM drawn a swift and serious response from PPP core support in Sindh.
I suppose PPP could afford to live without MQM support, but losing it’s core, loyal and diehard Sindhi support is matter of life and death for them.
Since damage already done to Zardari’s credibility with Sindhi, even another u turn might not able to fully restore it.
It might possible that ZM is playing this on behalf of Zardari by scarifying his position but remaining in PPP, hoping to becoming magnet for Sindhi groups to somehow keeping with PPP fold, might deliver to zardari as soon as he could rehablitate himself.
Or may be he is trying play his own game, ala Naheed Khan, Safder Abbasi and Aaitizaz Ahsan, by paying lip service to loyalty with party and it’s leadership but curving own line.
So far Mumtaz Bhutto tried this but failed, but was face leader such a high caliber BB, Zardari though shrewd but no where near caliber of BB.
I would go for later as, it is interesting to note that not only he spitting venom against MQM and RM, but somehow signally army, ISI also to support him (may be he is projecting himself as alternate to Zardari by courting Sindhi Nationalist element of PPP, as well security establishment.
Another interesting thing is possible death or sever weakness of MQM. Possible involvement in Murder of Imran Farooq on UK soil, or it’s part in recent killings in Karachi means they have crossed redline by UK government.
Although it has been denied by RM (person of zero credibility though), but news of arrest of two possible killers of Imran Farooq, coupled with AH open complain about FIA/IB reporting UK. Shows something happening behind close doors.
There was unconfirmed report of AH been stopped leaving UK, (report might be hoax) but strangely he is missing from public eye for almost a week.
Now MQM announced that is sick and being in hospital for a week, again it is strange as if was really sick then why MQM took a week to announce this.
Those remember AH during his days in Pakistan would certainly remember that he used to check in to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital whenever situation become too hot.
I am wondering if he found another Abbasi Shaheed Hospital in UK.
Whatever actual reason, I would not surprise if suddenly MQM becoming peacenik.
