don't get jazbaati. Think it over...it won't be in the interest of the country. Any such move will destablize the situation even more.
Re: The new Benazir-MQM love fest
Does PPP have a deputy leader that can take over, in the worst case scenario?

Destabilize more than what? If she comes back and stays alive then she will take the reigns, do you think it will provide any stability to the country?
Re: The new Benazir-MQM love fest
^ Only CJ can provide stability to the nation by getting rid of the dictator. 
Re: The new Benazir-MQM love fest

Re: The new Benazir-MQM love fest
Ch. Shujaat and his PML Q, BB, Altaf, Pir Pagara and possibly Fazlur Rehman. This is getting awfully cosy now. :)

MQM, PPP attempting to patch up
While the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) are attempting to come together, there is a very palpable level of hesitation and concern regarding the ‘ifs and buts.’ However, common friends of both the parties are making hectic efforts to bring them to an understanding. Nonetheless, informed sources told The News that both parties have reservations against one another. The situation in 2007 is very different to that of 2002 when Makhdoom Amin Fahim and Nisar Khuhro had gone, personally, to Nine Zero to discuss the formation of a coalition government. Back then, things could not take shape as the MQM had demanded that the PPP publicly apologise for what they termed to be the extrajudicial killings of their workers during the PPP’s government. The former interior Minister Naseerullah Babar and Rana Maqbool Sheikh are the two central personalities that figured in the extrajudicial killings, MQM insiders said. The contacts between the MQM and PPP are being made at both the Sindh and national levels and some important personalities of the government are taking interest in the effort. Naseerullah Babar has already left PPP, based on his dislike for the deal between the PPP chairperson and the military government, which resulted in the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).
Informed sources said that, for the first time, the PPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto has appreciated the MQM’s role during the PPP rally and also lauded the role of the Haq Parast City Nazim, Syed Mustafa Kamal. Sources, believing that time heals all wounds, said that the MQM is now showing some flexibility in this regard and that messages were being exchanged that were aimed at shunning differences and to get all political forces working together for the promotion of democracy. MQM chief Altaf Hussain has offered unconditional support to the PPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto in the effort to defeat terrorism. Moreover, these two leaders have now stopped giving statements against each other. Altaf offered such support while condoling with Benazir during a telephone call from London and expressed his deep and profound grief over the death of close to 150 people, including PPP workers, during the rally on her arrival at Karachi on October 18. He told Benazir that all progressive forces need to work in unison to eliminate extremism and for the stability of the democratic progress, which was in the larger interest of the country. He stated that the rally blasts were a naked act of terrorism, which deserves the severest condemnation. He said that occurrences of political differences during the electoral process would be natural, but, despite this, it is now inevitable that there be unity and sincerity in the effort against extremism committed under the guise of religion.
Altaf said that the people of Pakistan, particularly the people of Sindh, generally believe in religious tolerance and are against religious extremism.
Benazir, applauding the efforts of the local administration, especially City Nazim, Syed Mustafa Kamal, expressed her personal gratitude, and also on behalf of the leaders and workers of the PPP, for the cooperation during the rally.
Altaf further said that the MQM Rabita Committee and MQM supporters equally share her grief and sorrow with the bereaved families. MQM insiders said the Muttahida election campaign is in full swing and that the party strictly believes that the general elections should be held on time as postponement could derail the democratic process. MQM has welcomed the announcement made by President General Pervez Musharraf that all parties would be taken into confidence while forming the interim government before the upcoming general elections. Political analysts in the city claimed that both MQM and PPP would take time in coming closer adding that this will be done by the common friends of the parties.
Re: The new Benazir-MQM love fest
Same way as the power corrupt Musharraf can sit with all the corrupt people in power even suck upto BB. Long live Musharraf and his hypocrisy. 
Re: The new Benazir-MQM love fest
^ Aah, the sacrifices one has to make to keep the nation together and on continued progressive path. :k:
God Bless President Musharaf and his govt. for unprecdented economic growth, and for bestowing Pakistan with Free Media and Free Judiciary.

I fear for Bibi's life. I don't know why but I feel she will be killed once she returns to the country...(Godforbid)
Very interesting prediction Minerva, which almost came true.

Something tells me Minerva was not talking about this attempt.
Re: The new Benazir-MQM love fest
And Free Terrorism!
Re: The new Benazir-MQM love fest
MQM is playing a master stroke of politics. They received negative publicity after May 12 carnage. It was one sided. Most of the politicians like IK, PPP and lawyers gained publicity by playing victims.
This "alliance" should help them restore any negative feelings PPP might had for them and focus on the election. MQM had been under the lights for a while and stayed away from making any critical mistakes.
It's just politics, nothing more. In the end, they are safe. If Mush wins, they support him. If BB wins they are with her unconditionally. If IK only knew how to play politics, he would be mainstream by now.
Re: The new Benazir-MQM love fest
^ Nevertheless, it is a terrorist mafia and there is a huge class difference between a criminal mafia don like Altaf Bhai and Imran Khan.

Yeah.He was definitely playing. if he really had felt the pain he would heave like slit his wrists or would have hung him self. right???
Re: The new Benazir-MQM love fest
As I alrady said Imran Khan is the most decent and honest person among whole lots of corrupt Pakis. But unfortunately he is not a politician. And he never will be. The best option for him to either make alliance with other parties or become a cricket coach where his specialities are.
