Re: sindhis not happy with pakistan
KK bro! Sorry for taking this thread away from rural Sindhis for a moment. Let's talk about urban Sindhis aka Mohajirs for a moment.
MQM had the potential of becoming a good party. May be our land is so unfortunate that every political party becomes a show for a dictatorial, set-for-life leader. Altaf bhai should give up the top post and let the young people come up. MQM like any other party was supposed to be a democratic institution. Instead it has relegated itself down to a banana party that is no different from others like Immi's TI, or all those A-B-C-pick-your-letter-Leagues.
Sadly MQM is now just a personal fiefdom ruled by someone who is not too unlike other feudal lords from Sindh and beyond.
There are problems with MQM I know. One of the main problems is that some of the young and more zealous MQM workers I have talked too feel that Altaf should stop making deals with others and only align with other nationalist parties, especially in Sindh and fight for the province's rights together. This was tried with limited success before with jeay sindh, but old animosities don't go away so easily. At least that is one line of thinking but the senior leadership wanted to give this Pakistan strong federation thing another chance by seeing what changes can be made from within the system by aligning with Musharraf. It is unclear which would be the better path, but all of this is being discussed in a democratic manner. Unlike PPP, Altaf's children or brother won't be handed over party chairmanship after he retires or dies.
My personal belief is that if Mush fails in bringing provincial autonomy and equality between the federating units and going back to the promises of 1940, MQM should align with nationalist forces and by that time hopefully PPP will also have seen the light. Depends on next elections.
