Re: Rangers raid at MQM headquarter Nine-Zero Azizabad

I don’t post here regularly anymore but I thought this is an important event. Not that anyone would care about my opinion, but I will share it anyway … being a Karachiite whose family migrated from what is now India.

I think Rangers have done a good job in this operation. Culprits were caught in the vicinity of MQM headquarter which in itself proves that MQM is the guilty party here.
It would be BS if anyone says that MQM has not been involved in violence and target killings.

I particularly would mention Hammad Siddiqi who has been involved in killings of 120 people (mostly Shias) and starting a fire in Baldia. I posted a few months back that he is working alongside ASWJ in target killings of Shias in Karachi, especially those Shias who belong to MQM itself. Now, Altaf Hussain threw him out of Tanzeemi Committee, but this dismissal was for some other reasons. He was let go, and now he is outside Pakistan.
I know some Shia people working for MQM (not everyone working for MQM is a criminal), who were killed by MQM’s ASWJ allied group.

So that raid on nine-zero was totally justified. MQM should pay the price for using violence for political gains.

Peace in the city is the priority for every Urdu-speaking Karachiite. If people are convinced that MQM is a victim here, and that it really is involved in those activities then MQM won’t find anyone condemning this operation.

In the end, I think such indiscriminate operations will actually benefit MQM. Provided that it realizes that people vote for the party for the betterment of the city, and not for the love of Altaf Hussain.

About the timing of this raid and senate elections, I think it does not matter. It may have been done for political reasons but the important point is that it is the right thing to do. So I support Ch. Nisar here.

No one should be above the law. Be it Taliban or MQM or PPP or ANP.

thx khoji…appreciate more guppies who live in karachi or have lived in karachi for an extended period of time come forward and post on current karachi dynamics…especially those who currently support or have supported MQM, please come forward and share your viewpoint as well.

is MQM finally losing its political support among its traditional voter base?
how is urdu speaking community who has voted for MQM in the past is reacting to it?
how is mahajar community in Hyderabad reacting to it?
what do you guys think of saulat mirza video? is the general perception that it is a planted interview by agencies or has it raised anger against Altaf and his leadership?

Please share your viewpoint.
