Lot of people in karachi vote for MQM only cuz they are full of hatred. They know that MQM is bad n everything but they still vote MQM cuz they have hatred for other communties, which MQM has mastered in buy givin a ethnic touch.

I think MQM,s politics is based on only one thing, HATRED. Problems of common people in pakistan are the same…be it punjab, sind, karachi, balochistan, phuktuankwa or anywhere but MQM spreads hatred by blaming other communities. In reality all communities and all common people living in pakistan are faced with same problems.I hope people understand what i am saying.

I myself belong to a urdu speaking community. We are the most educated people in pakistan n we should understand this.

Is it a Karachi Met Blog or an anti MQM blog. The problem is that on these blogs most of the readers and the writers belong to the posh areas of Karachi, and most of them are from different provinces especially from Punjab. I am not all that supporter of MQM and talking about Altaf Hussain he sucks, but in the recent elections I have voted for MQM not because I am a mohajir or urdu speaking bla bla bla…. The reason of my vote for MQM is Mustafa Kamal. I have met this guy when he was in UK, he is a MBA and the best thing about him is the passion he is filled up with. Just take an example of Gulistan-e-Johar, the place use to suck around 8 months ago because of Traffic jam and shitty roads. But because of CDGK irrespective of what kind of interest they have from G-Johar the place is now in peace no more traffic hazards nothing… (Keeping in mind that this place falls under fucking CBF umbrella… Cantonment Board Faisal….) so the votes MQM got is not because of Waseem Akhtar , Babar Ghauri, Haider Abbas and others….. The votes they got are because of CDGK’s performance in recent years.
Now lets talk about MQM itself… people use to curse MQM because of Altaf Hussain… I think its wrong to some extent …reason … all the political parties in Pakistan use to work like this.. just take PPP, its not Pakistan’s People Party its the party of Bhutto only… his family members that’s it. same is the case with ANP Wali Khan’s family have the right to decide what has to be done …. same is the case with PML(N)… or even worse cause this party holds the name of Nawaz Shareef… just imagine what will be the case with this party if Nawaz Shareef leave it or sidelined due to some reason …the party actually has to change its name … no Nawaz Shareef means no PML-N … and one of the most celebrated person of this blog Mr. Imran Khan…. oh my God what a player he was …. The personality charisma that attracted not only Asians but also the whites into this game…. A worldcup winner and so on…. I agree he is undoubtdly the most eligible cricket player sub-continent have produced but this thing doesn’t work in politics… shaking hands and sitting with people who use to his rivals when he started his politics… i remember him saying that Nawaz and Benazir as corrupt and so many things… and Nawaz Shareef is the person who plotted a scandal of Seeta White against him…. somebody should ask Imran where have you developed this habbit of saying no to something and after some time you got agree with that..(News published on BBC that Imran has visited US to meet his daughter) , so cut it short MQM is just like all the political parties of Pakistan… if they are called terrorist tolla’s then same name goes with PPP also like what they have done to KARACHI and PESHAWAR on 27th December, if you called them that they use to cash the 94 Karachi operation to earn the votes same with PPP, as the sympathy vote earner first from Zulfiqar ali bhutto now from his daughter Miss World of Corruption Late Benazir bhutto,if you called them as LISANI jamat same goes with ANP and PML-N … so all you out their if you just see them a little in detail they are actually all the same… they love themselves only and hate any thing that hurt their own interests. Just imagine the biggest delima of Pakistan … The biggest S O B , the Mr.10% the man behind every corruption Zardari is in commanding position to decide who will be our nest PM…. what else you can expect…
We all dream of being ASIAN TIGER. ahaaan old joke come up with a new one…….
Thanks.

who can ever expect mqm to be honest? people from karachi always knew what kind of party mqm was, we always knew that mqm only won by rigging. finally so many people are speaking out against it. type rigging in karachi on google and so many results will show up with mqm's name. fianlly people are starting to speak up against them, there are several videos clearly showing rigging online, some of them are posted on youtube: http://youtube.com/results?uploaded=d&search_query=mqm+rigging the quality is not that great, but you can tell whats going on, there are several other videos over the internet along with people sharing their persona experiences on elections day in online blogs. on the 26th of feb, ppp is taking mqm to court to the sindh high court for rigging these elections. honestly, enough of living in fear from these thugs, they should go and let us karachi people live in peace.

@RoghniNan,

Tu nahee sudhrai gaa bachai..dont get tired man..you know that people are not listening to your stupid baseless arguments then why you waste energy? MQM won the election thats the reality..screaming, claiming,yeiling about the bogus voting wont change the fact so accept the reality or keep living in your fantacy land but please dont write in these blogs.we are all getting tired of reading your same rant against MQM. MQM will be representing Karachi for next 5 yrs and will again in next election to represent another 5 yrs so you better learn to live with this fact.
let karachi celebrate the victory of its own people and if you cannot participate then stay inside your madrasa and keep chewing paan.

Reality_Check,

I think around the time of Khilafat Movement, Jinnah himself was not a big deal. Ali brothers wre more famous at that time, i believe. I do think Khilafat movement was misguided and Muslims suffered a lot due to it…like talking children off the colleges…etc.
I do think there were other Muslim leaders who were more sincere to Indian Muslims than Jinnah.
And, I don’t beleive that farangi mehlees were fanatics. Deoband was fanatic, farangi mehel wasn’t. In fact they closed their famous school after realizing it was not useful for Muslims anymore to have that kind of education.
Well, we can discuss history another time…

@AMMAR: i already stated fact, Altaf was member of IJT. If you don’t believe then ask any elder in your family who was student of KU in 70s. ;)

Musharaf can not stay in power forever, he mostly did a good job

yes by signing NRO to save his darling BiBi :-)

he saved pakistan from being bombed into the stone age or sanctioned into starvation

keep these fairy tales to yourself now which you used to hear in Army mess about miraculous power of so called Pak Army. This is the fact that Musharraf screwed Pakistan Army up so much that now poor Kiyani has been struggling hard to rebuild Army image and calling his officers back to mess who currently are busy in looting in different organizations .

Come out of ignorance( i mean mess) kid and absorb the reality.

and as for totally wiped out i suggest you take a long look at the georgraphical distribution of PML-Q’s victory. As much as i dont support the PML-Q (mainly made up of rag tag feudals) they are the only party in pakistan except for PPP which can win from every province even in a backlash year.

Musharaf can not stay in power forever, he mostly did a good job and under very difficult circumstances he saved pakistan from being bombed into the stone age or sanctioned into starvation. Lets see if the next govt. can do any better. I hope they will but i would not bet any money on it.
