Re: Peshawar lawyers urge Pakhtuns to launch jihad
Why were these people not talking such non-sense before May 12. If MQM kills people for being pathan or punjabi, it is bound to fuel equally racist views from other sides.
Eyewitness reports from the Malir district of Karachi suggested that MQM militants had rounded up people simply on the grounds that they looked by Pathan or Punjabi, and tried to execute them.
“I begged and pleaded them that I am not an opposition worker; I am a student,” says Aadil Badshah, a 20-year-old Pathan studying engineering, who was shot in the legs and hands. “They did not listen to me. They were laughing at us and four others. One of them was a 50-year-old laborer. First they beat us, took us inside a street, put us to stand in a line and then fired on us. And then left. Two died on the spot and me and two others survived.”

What shud happen is that government shud punish the culprits. The video footage of people with guns from both sides has been aired. Its not difficult to catch them. But ofcourse we can only wish.
The MQM, if its has any respect for the country and its people, should go after its own party members who indulged in such heinous activity…
Ofcourse, that would require vision and maturity, both of which the MQM lacks.
