Awab should understand and give a chance to MQM because agree or not MQM has gone a long way and is still in a process of reformation. MQM is like one of those ‘drugies’ from a rehab – reformed but sometimes unpredictable but then which political party in Pakistan is ‘clean’?

Zinda hey Bibi Zinda hay

As a MQM voter, supporter – I am somewhat disappointed at MQM’s thirst for power;

I think it was said by Momin Khan Momin:

Chuti nahi moo se ye Kafir lagi huwi

There’s no doubt that PPP is a multifaceted party having dual souls, personalities and dynamics. To me it has a ‘Sindi Nationalist Agenda’ in Sind and then this aura of a national unifying force.

The Sindi Nationalists / Fascists in the PPP had always been against MQM (I would go as far as saying against the migrants from India during the partition) but it was A.Z who mediated and cut out a deal with the MQM.

As a MQM voter, supporter – I am somewhat disappointed at MQM’s thirst for power; somehow it has given everyone an impression that MQM always sides with the establishment. The rationale given by MQM is that ‘our alliance is necessary for the development of urban Sind’ – which to me be an absurd argument. What about ideologies? Ethics? Then there’s a counter argument that which other political party practices such policies? Unfortunately, in the land of pure two wrongs does make a ‘right’ ….

To start off with there is nothing wrong with being ‘emotional’. Then tell us please what is the difference between an ‘emotional fool’ and a ‘fool’. A fool is a fool no matter what prefix you add to it. If two fools hitherto enemies of each other try to patch up and make frinds whether emotionally or otherwise can’t be called anything but wise.

MQM is a dangerous party they think they control the whole of karachi. i know many people who say that they force people to vote for them and kill people who don’t follow. No other parties should join with them

MQM either controls the whole of Karachi or it doesn’t. In either case how does their thinking one way or the other makes them dangerous. You know many people who say they force people to vote for them. It is called hear say evidence of no value. What is your own experience. Cite that as an evidence. I know many people who say they do not force people to vote for them. Does it prove anything.

It is a very good thing that has happened to Karachi. Peace in mini Pakistan , that is what Karachi is, means peace in Pakistan. Strength of Karachi is the strength of Pakistan. Full marks to the sagcity, maturity and stetesmanship of Zardari. Hat off to the wisdom and farsightedness of Altaf.
A wind of change is blowing across whole of Pakistan. The days of ‘winter winds’ seem to have come to an end. The 60 years long dark night seems to be coming to an end. There are indeed signs of a new dawn for Karachi and for the rest of the country.

these days almost 7 MQM(haqiqi) workers are being gunned down every week(thats an average of 1 daily) , plus sunni Tehreek is also taking a hit every 2nd day so its quite obvious that MQM haven’t mended its ways as yet, and they’ll themselves be responsible if this effort fails
