Re: UK condemns violence in Karachi
i think half of karachi can testify against him so should nt be so difficult!
Good, now Imran Niazi should provide evidence of Altaf's crimes.
Re: UK condemns violence in Karachi
it will be a sad day when a criminal and human rights abuser like Mush can put a fellow abuser like Altafon trial. Mush is just as guilty for human rights abuses - why should Altaf alone be out on trial? Although partial justice is good enough but a sorry state of todays affairs i guess.

Refer back to the topic and the cotnents discussed. We are talking about the situation in Karachi and the role of Altaf in it. Whoever backs him is equally condemnable but we can not go beyond the one who is directly responsible for the daylight shooting people to death on May 12
Re: UK condemns violence in Karachi
It seems Imran Khan's strategy has worked
Whether the strategy works or not, the great thing is that the British authorities will now be keeping a very close eye on Altaf paji and his telephone taqreers.
Re: UK condemns violence in Karachi
The former Interior Minister Naseerullah Babar had actually sent 4 different requests to the British to hand over Altaf Hussein during the 2nd PPP government. Each time, the request was denied. If anyone in the UK wants, they can probably get a hold of those letters through the foreign office. Babar had attached proof with the letter demanding the extradition but the British refused to budge, then they went and made Hussein a citizen as well.
The British, by harboring Pakistanis biggest terrorist, have just made themselves even more unpopular with Pakistanis. For Imran to get his way, he will need the legal system to work - he may even have to go to the International Court of Justice...thats the only way to get Hussein to hang.
There was no extradition treaty in place during BBs term and they did not really do a whole hell of a lot to develop an extradition treaty.
Now what you may also forget is that during 90's as operations against MQM were taking place, the methods were so harsh, and so many innocent people were impacted that major Human Rights watch groups were alarmed. I have posted links to that before. The western govts felt it these were such systematic state sponsored atrocities that they ha
As a result ppl wit MQM history were able to to seek assylum in UK, US and Canada among others. The funny thing is that being desis...ppl abused the assylum and many others who had not really ever lived in Karachi sough assylum and got out as well :D but thats a different story.
So coming back to naseerullah babar and his requests to extradite. no treaty existed, and his heavy handedness had made him look like a pretty bad guy in the west, you can look up newspapers from the times of the two operations in Karachi. So if the guy who is looked upon as a thug is asking for extradition of someone from a group/party that human rights groups said was being handled in an inhumane manner, it was just not going to happen. Not that we know wat proof Babar provided implicating Altaf directly.

AH must be thinking how more people can be killed by MQM in future without people suspecting him in the background.

Altaf blames establishment for May 12 bloodbath
By Our Special Correspondent
LONDON, May 20: Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has blamed the establishment and what he called the political parties on the payroll of the establishment for the May 12 bloodbath in Karachi.
He said these elements had conspired to destroy the peace of Karachi and blame it on the MQM.
In an uncharacteristically mild statement issued from the MQM international headquarters about Saturday’s deliberations of MQM Rabita Committee, the MQM chief was quoted as counselling his party workers not to be provoked and closely guard their unity.
He also advised the participants to go back home and do their best to calm the situation and not to let it degenerate into an ethnic conflict.
He said the MQM was the sole liberal and democratic party of the country and it was struggling to overthrow the outdated feudal system and ‘wadera shahi’, which according to him, had entrenched itself over the last 60 years.
Azfar-ul-Ashfaque adds from Karachi: A meeting of the top MQM leadership continued for the second consecutive day on Sunday in London to review the overall political situation in the backdrop of May 12 tragic incidents in Karachi.According to press release issued from London, the meeting, which began on Saturday and continued for 11 hours without any break, might continue for Monday.
Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad also went to London to meet Altaf Hussain. Party sources said the governor briefed the MQM chief on the overall political situation and measures being taken by the provincial government to avert ethnic riots in Karachi.
A party spokesman said that nothing could be said at this stage about the final decision as the meeting was still going on.

Has he ever talked sensibly? If you remember; of the major "issues" he raised during 1986-1988 was that on March 23 parade and other national occasion, the culture of the four provinces exhibited and they do not show anything relating to "mohajirs". And this create sense of deprivation among mohajirs! Funny! Isn't it! Do mohajirs have got a folk dance which can be shown on March 23?
And what about those old PTV dramas - Shama, Shehzori etc where the UP/CP culture was exhibited?

lolz...after everything they still need evidence...:D

PML’s role irks Musharraf
http://www.dawn.com/2007/05/22/top6.htm
Now, Gen Musharraf is inclined to the counsel of National Security Adviser Tariq Aziz and his Chief of Staff Lt-Gen Javed Hamid, instead of relying on the government and the ruling party.
Gen Musharraf complained that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement had been left on its own after May 12 and said that he did not want relations with the Karachi-based party to be affected. Most of the participants, the source said, did not take a clear stand on maintaining the coalition with the MQM.
