Re: MQM and Karachi - Shoaib Suddle and Tariq Lodhi
calling MQM terrorist, is like calling 90% of karachi's population terrorist. These are the people who overwhemly vote for MQM. When mqm boycotted the elections, only 2-3 % vote was casted, and that was during the army operation there. People who think that mqm does not enjoy people's support, live in fools paradise.
Not a chance. Roughly 45% of the city of Karachi is urdu speaking. Of that population I would be surprised if even 35% (out of 40%) support MQM, but assuming MQM gets support from all 40% it is still not controlling all of the city. I can guarantee you that almost none of the remaining 60% of the city of Karachi (ethnic minorities) support MQM.
Being well organized, very agressive and taking votes at gunpoint does'nt mean that you have the full support of the city - reality check.
