Mqm are a m frs ....they made karachi a living hell for so many in the 90s..i know ordniary shareef people who were robbed by these thugs...and this pric k ishrat-ul-abad does anybody know that he has commited 50 murders?and that ugly, fat, loud m fkr Altaf Husain.. hes sitting pretty in london living off 'bhata money'... these people should be lined up against the wall and shot in the head one by one.that is not to say that people from punjabi and sindhi parties are saints,but mqm is evil for sure.
Well they are in power now and their complete control over such media outlets as GEO and jang newspaper is overwhellming...they are in the process of rewriting history and at the same time enjoy a massive support by mahajirs, so there is very little that can be done...
Mahajirs and people of Karachi deserve the misery, thuggery and corruption that these pricks would bring again for them, just as they did when they controlled municipal and local bodies' funds from 87-92...
Not only would they undo the good work and progress made under the previous mayor, Nasrullah Khan, but they would also claim credit for whatever they leave standing...
^why do mahajirs support them?why did people support benazir or nawaz sharif knowing that they were corrupt?well thats the sad mentality of voters in pakistan, a decent shareef person has no respect or value in politics here unless he has a long beard and has extreme religious values..you can't change any country unless the people in that country change themselves first.

Once Mushy goes, they will go.
Not disappear, but back to their true colours as a blatant murderous terrorist organisation...then Gen.Babar pt 2 will return to save Karachi again :biggthumb

No Gen. Babar would be forth coming...Mushie made sure to promote urdu-speaking generals to 9 out 16 corp commander posts...This is where he has probably made the biggest coup in the history of Pakistan...
Unfortunately, people in Pakistan don't use their brain while casting vote. Political parties use "influential" personalities in each locality who convince people to vote for MQM or PPP etc. A common person is engaged in the worry of roti-kapra-makan, and in some cases threat to life. They don't think at national level .... forget about global level. And that's why the overall votes get distributed resulting in the alliance govt. which is usually weak.
Another sick trend is that of 'lissaniyat'/ethnicity ..... if someone is Sindhi will vote for bhutto, Panjabi will vote for nawaz sharif, and Urdu-speaking for MQM. This is pretty much in general, but some people do vote other parties. And same is for political parties when they get power .... ML will prioritise punjab provice, MQM urdu speaking etc. No one thinks all equal and muslim pakistanis......... jaisey awam, waisey hukmiraan.
I thought PPP was Sindh based party but you are holding PUNJABIS responsible for all those killings??? Oh i forgot, Sindhis and Muhajirs were always good friends but Punjabis made them fight to get power???

EXACTLY right, that's why we only will get khokhli democracy even when there is no millitary rule.
Pls stick to the serious topic at hand; this situation being created at this stage can lead to serious problems for Pakistan. The good and evil etc debates have often taken place, right now the MQM scenario is quite an issue for Pakistan. Let’s discuss what the reasons are, what has been ‘the issue’ between MQM and Arbab Rahim and what remarks he made yesterday which made the MQM team miss the meeting with the pres. Whats making them all act like kids and where are these guys headed, what happens if they dont reconcile, what problems could come up and so on…
And why doesnt anyone say clearly what the ‘differences’ actually are…
The President was seriously annoyed at MQM and Arbab yesterday and has said the govt will not approach them and would wait for them and meanwhile told Arbab Ghulam why he has one mouth and two ears…
I routinely criticize other political parties and this criticism should not be seen as the criticism of any class or community that is thought to be the support base of the concerned political party. People can support a political entity for a variety of reasons, and I don't want to go into details here. Neither do I want to deny the occurrence of extra-judicial killings during Karachi operation. However, I would not absolve the MQM leadership of all the crimes and killings that are blamed on them. Some of these allegations could be fiction, but to say that MQM is led by honest, sincere and law-abiding citizens is nothing less than unbelievable science fiction.
In my view, the present MQM 'crises' is an example of political posturing/gimmickry that we're going to witness in the run-up to next elections. Some parties would threaten resignations (or resign) from assemblies to prove to the people that they were never happy with the present set-up, and hence deserve the votes of those who want an alternate political dispensation. The political parties allied with the government have to either rely on their performance during the last five years, or, have to distance themselves from the ruling political class in a subtle way to prove that they were not allowed to work for the the welfare of those who voted them in. This way they can not only have the cake but also eat it. Little wonder some rabble-rousers have grown very fat.
In the present set-up, most powers are centered in the president in the federal government. Constitutionally, prime minister and chief ministers have the real executive powers. But the influence of the governor should not be downplayed, especially if he represents a strong political class essential for the survival of chief minister. We may not like it, but in Sindh governor is not so apolitical as it is in other provinces. (No governor is apolotical when the real executive powers are exercised by the president). Cooperation and a spirit of compromise between the governor and the chief minister is essential for the smooth functioning of the government. While a healthy competition between different political entities should be encouraged, the politicization of every aspect of executive powers or any political dramas to sway the opinion of the public is not in the long term interest of any party.
