Re: Well done Zulfiqar Mirza
If you are just going to just sit back and wait for things to happen then you might as well not complain. It is the government’s responsibility to restore law and order in Karachi. However they should act sensibly & only go after known criminals within MQM. Indiscriminate heavy-handed approach similar to that in the 90s has the potential to backfire & further aggravate the problem. There could be serious reprisals in the beginning resulting in the deaths of many innocents not just in Karachi but also in other parts of the country. Are we as a nation prepared for this at a time when people have already suffered enough at the hands of extremists?
Both PPP and PML-N seem very willing to welcome the MQM, despite knowing the ground realities, if it helps them to form the government in the centre and then they would also criticise MQM if they feel they can gain from it politically. Even many people are wondering now if this is all just a pressure tactic by PPP to get MQM to support the government on RGST. You cannot be in bed with MQM and at the same time criticise them when it suits you politically!!
PPP and PML-N cannot have it both ways
