Re: MQM brings ahead common man in polls: CJ
Do you think people of Karachi are completely idiots or you are too smart?
No doubt you have your roots from outside Karachi, where Jagirdars, Sardars, Vaderas, or local bullies (Gundas) intimidate and treat voters like lowly animals, so what you wrote could happen anywhere outside karachi, but to your information, Karachi is not Lahore or Multan, so what you perceive could not happen in Karachi, especially with Muhajir voters.
You should remember that dictators or political parties, none managed to win Karachi using intimidation, guns, bogus voting, or threat of force. Ayub Khan tried, Bhutto Snr tried, BB tried, NS tried, but all failed. So, your propaganda may mean something outside Karachi, as it is happening and thus leaving people outside Karachi still getting represented and ruled by criminals, corrupts, and thugs, but such cannot happen Karachi where people think and know the value of their votes (do not sell their votes or cast votes due to fear).
Nice speech, but who are you fooling? I am not from Karachi, but have lived a fair deal in the city. I was there when May 12 riots happened, I was there when Benazir was murdered, and I was there in the 2008 elections.
I am a first hand witness of what they did on May 12th, how armed thugs belonging to MQM roamed the city like it was their backyard, and how they basically turned everyone's life upside down. Are you telling me that the 'people of Karachi' were willingly doing that to themselves, and that no intimidation and murders took place?
As for votes, who said Karachi folks have to sell their votes? Their votes are stamped into MQMs box, whether or not they show up. The video posted above is just a small example. There are plenty of such evidences on youtube.

If you think votes cast in Karachi election are bogus than that is big lie too, as if that was the case then we would have seen situation obvious when MQM call for gatherings or boycott election. As MQM gatherings show millions, and when MQM boycott election people win with couple of thousand votes, compare to MQM when contesting even under military supervision, they get 10s of thousand votes. It does not happen as happened that when political parties like TI call for boycott, Prime Minister’s son gets 90,000 votes.
High turnout in Karachi is obvious, especially when party contesting the election is popular amongst people, as most people in Karachi are educated and know the value of their votes, so they cast their votes too.

You have only served to verify my points. When MQM calls for a boycott, of course the turnout will be low. You try stepping out of your house when MQM declares a strike or one of those famous yaum-e-sogs. If someone goes against MQMs call for strike, they are usually never heard from again.
Its better to admit that MQM is an armed, racist party, rather than try to justify it with arguments that carry little weight. Its like PPPs corruption. They deny it even when they do it on camera.
