Re: NA-246 bi-elections: Apr. 23 : Karachi Areas Azizabad, F.B. Area , F.C. Area
Where have a I cried foul? Just correcting your misleading and ignorant opinions.
Unlike you, I don’t just throw the word democracy here and there, I actually know how it works. I wasn’t foolishly comparing the result of 2013 General Elections with the results by elections of 2015 - you were! So learn something new while you have the opportunity - the voters turnout for by-elections is always low, be it in the West or in Pakistan. It is a fact! I was just merely stating a fact. The seat obviously matter, but the numbers have to be seen in a context. Despite PTI and MQM both getting less votes than General elections, the actual proportion of the votes remained the same. Got it?
As with finding excuses, a big LOL. I’d been posting here for months that PTI won’t win the seat but will get full marks for the efforts.
Miserably or terribly still stupid and ignorant choice of words. Both Siraj ul Haq and Imran Khan visited the constituency, led the campaign on the ground, spent money, evoked passion and interest, raised awareness on MQM’s sheer criminality. While Altaf Hussain was sitting London on bail, getting investigated for murder and money laundering, and MQM members confessing killing 250 people, journalist and police officers. So just accept the fact ethnicity plays a huge role in MQM’s support, and their party killing some 250 people in one go hardly matters. You need to have some basic humanity and decency to say ‘not in our name’.
The only thing was unfortunately missing from JI and PTI campaign was Jiye Muhajir slogans and ‘look look they’re coming to get Urdu speakers, the whole universe is conspiring against MQM so save MQM, this is your last and only chance. We are very sorry for all the murders we have committed’.
I have no problem in accepting that MQM has support in its home constituency, but give credit for JI and PTI for doing the best they could. Or just exactly else they could’ve done to ‘mobilise’ the voters. Don’t needlessly throw any hyperbolic term which holds no relevance and truth.
MQM supporters for years have made fun of other provinces for repeatedly electing PPP and PMLN while they’re own track record for so called urban people is equally disgusting and pathetic.
