Re: The Balkanization of Pakistan
Let me ask you a simple question. Forget about Jihad and Jiadhis. You MQM wallas were anti-center and establishment for your entire existance. Why do you support the tyranny of Mushy and his gang now? Because he is one of your own? How do you speak out of one side of your mouth about Punjab this and that, then on the other side you praise Mushy and his PML-Q gang who are the worst part of the Punjabi establishment (people like the Chaudry brothers) To me this shows the complete lack of even an ounce of morality or truth to the MQM party. When it was convenient for you, you betrayed the most basic of all rights. You speak of democracy and freedom for ordinary Pakistanis. But the situation has never been worse with Mushy and his gang rigging the election, crushing the judiciary, silencing the media and now quite possibly murdering their main opposition figure. The rest of the country will never forget what MQM is all about. And dont forget something - regardless of what happens to Mushy and his army or even Pakistan. MQM supporters are still less than 50% of Karachi (this is neccsarily true since mohajirs are less than 50% and not all mohajirs support MQM) While you support Mushy and the center, all those people Mushy is currently busy crushing - the comman Sindhi, Pahstun, Balochi and even Punjabi will remember what you've done long after he and his lotaz are gone.
Chaudry bratharan are the chohti machlis of the Punjabi establishment. The big fish are the jihadi nut cases sitting in the ISI, army and their offspring in the form of various tanzeems, lashkars, parties, and groups. There is no tyranny from Mush, unless you are a jihadi collaborator. I only started supporting Mush after lal masjid episode, because that was the first time some leader had balls to confront the 5th columnist mullah-jihadis. He is less than perfect, but unlike other leaders who have been sucking up to the taliban frankenstein, mush has shown some ability to confront them....he still has to do much more.
MQM supports the stability of Pakistan and good policies and is not beholden to false notions of feudalocracy hiding under the guise of democracy.
Unlike the BB and NS jiyalas, I don't pretend that Mush has given us some pure form of democracy. Pakistanis have proven time and time again that they would rather choose a feudalocracy with Bhutto over a a real democracy.
