Re: Musharraf Supporters Before and After Elections
Yes MQM did these things in their areas. But the guy who was invited by PPP should also have visited the areas of Malir and Lyari where PPP did exactly the same things.
Re: Musharraf Supporters Before and After Elections
No buddy! the news is not manipulated or twisted like your facts.
It is as it is. Whether you choose to believe it or not, is upto you. And this was just one of the sources reporting on it, there are others.

I think that you like to stay happy with fabricated and illogical news. I have one too ... that is, recently a Chicken from Zardari house gave birth to a donkey :) Now think of it and be happy :D

i can understand your bitterness, trust me i can and i do.
Don't worry inshaAllah Pakistan will survive even without gifted Mr. Musharraf. You just sit tight and keep crunching your numbers and nostrodamas style-prophecies, we'll be here to read them and get a good laugh.
ps: Your joke was lame, what i posted was a genuine news piece. :d
Re: Musharraf Supporters Before and After Elections
Whoever mentions May 12 should also not forget December 27. On that day both the most affected parties of May 12 ANP and PPP took their revenge by killing almost equal number of people, by burning cars and other vehicles and by sexually harrassing female workers here in Karachi.
On May 12, MQM goons killed political workers (some of them were equally armed and could not compete with better positioned rivals who were supported by silence of law enforcement agencies on that day). But on December 27 PPP and ANP goons found inncent citizen to commit their attrocities.
And that May 12 violence mainly between ANP and MQM was already looming in Karachi - arrival of the CJ was just a trigger - on the issues of demolition of kutchi abadies, removal of smoke emitting vehicles and rickshaws (which becomes an ethinic issue in Karachi only) etc.
Mostar bhai...I am not exactly aware what really/actually happened on May 12th...or what was the history behind it...but when I mentioned May 12th my perception is based on media reports...may be they were wrong...I don't know...and there is no way of knowing without an impartial judicial enquiry...
Media reported on 12th May that police and other law enforcing agencies were purposely asked to sit on the side lines...to give a chance to government sponsered thugs to play havoc with public lives...we saw that on AAJ tv live that for ten hours these thugs continued firing and police did not come to take any action...so the impression we got from those events was it was government sponsered terrorism...and when Mr. Musharraf showed his muscles publicly in Islamabad and termed the events of the day in Karachi as his show of strength...it was too much...even I used to admire the guy for a lot of things before that day...but after that day he completely lost my respect...and believe me here in Punjab it is difficult to find a single person who supports Mr. Musharraf...one of my friend who went to vote was told at the polling station..."subah di sirf do saykalaan aayaan hin......"it was clearly a vote against Musharraf...and May 12th was the beginning...
As for the events of 27th December you know very well that I was the biggest critic of the lawlessnes and events that occured....but it doesn't mean that...you can justify one wrong with an other"....the events of 12th May were wrong....the aftermath of 27th December was wrong....every act of violence against any citizen belonging to any colour, creed, and religion is wrong...and must be condemned...
Re: Musharraf Supporters Before and After Elections
Musharraf is alone not responsible for May 12 incident - army's other people are also involved in that. That what i mean to say.
And on Dec 27, both ANP and PPP lost any moral ground they had against MQM for whatever they did with innocent people.
So May 12 = Dec 27!
It is very likely, Allah forbids, these are going to recur here in near future.
Dec 27 was in no way like May 12. Loss of life on May 12 was out of comparison to dec 27. And ANP was not involved in Dec 27. Another difference in May 12 and Dec 27 is that May 12 was planned and executed by party leadership, Dec 27 was spontaneous rioting.

If you do not know the facts, then do no speak. ANP was looking for the opportunity and they found it on Dec 27.
Re: Musharraf Supporters Before and After Elections
It is a futile exercise to dispute MQM's support in Karachi. Yes Altaf has murder cases against him, yes MQM thugs have terrorized Karachiites, yet a majority of Karachi population still thinks they are better for them than what others have to offer. This is a fact that Pakistanis have to accept. MQM's vistory is no different from what happens in the rest of Pakistan. Poors all year round complain about the atrocities of the waderas and choudhries yet every election we see the same people coming back to the assemblies.
It is sad to see that Pakistanis who claim MQM to be ethinc and talk about national unity are always the ones draqgging mohajirs into an ethinic debate. Who are we to tell anyone who to vote for?
Sir, there is a slight confusion in your analysis..we saw a different behaviour of voters when corruption cases were exposed pre-99'. Be It PPP or PML-N. The very first time in Pak history we saw on screen slaughter being practised by MQM thugs. We saw these terrorists waving their flags infront of geo tvs camera men. Now have you noticed a decline of votes for the MQM?
On the contrary they won 2 more seats!
Now I conclude from the above:
Either these voters share no love for the other ethnic groups and back government sponsored terror. Or rigging has taken place in areas were MQM had some influence.
