Re: MQM tukre dur tukre
Urdu speaking (muhajir) community is surviving because of their skills and qualifications in the urban centres of Sindh. They are denied the resources of this province by the Sindhis (of PPP) in the name of quota system and through the divide and rule politics of Pakistan’s Punjabi military elites.
In the 1988 elections, MQM emerged as the third largest party in Pakistan and it rang an alarm for the establishment who didn’t want to see muhajirs play a key role in Pakistani politics. Punjabi (so called Pakistani) agencies got them involved in violence followed by division of MQM through ISI sponsored Muhajir Qaumi Movement (Haqiqi).
Altaf Hussain, good or bad, was the most effective force to keep muhajirs united under the banner of his party. It’s nonsensical to say that Altaf Hussain for the first time chanted anti-Pakistan slogans a couple of years back. Altaf had done it from the beginning. This time he was used by the agencies and that was the end of Altaf. Minus Altaf meant break up of muhajir unity.
I agree that Altaf Hussain’s party was infiltrated by criminal elements and terrorists, but it doesn’t mean MQM was not effective for muhajirs. MQM provided a strong feeling of security to Urdu speaking community from the oppression of Pashtoons and Sindhis in this province. Now the Punjabi agencies have divided it further so that it will lose the ground or will be forced to unite under the ex-President and Army Chief, Parvez Musharraf.
I think Parvez Musharraf is a good choice to lead MQM. He may unite muhajir factions to work under the supervision of Punjabi military establishment.
**MQM or Muhajirs have to be pro-Punjabi military establishment if they want to survive in the face of oppressive Sindhis and Pashtoons.
lolz @ typical rona dhona of quota system. Why are you after 1 percent of total jobs(including pvt sector) Karachi as a city posses? Because you also love to do corruption joining govt institutes? or just want a point to spread racism?
