		<description>And please dont publish anything written by Salman Ahmed, if you really want to know, what kind of guy he is, talk to Ali Azmat.

And by the way, Salman will be the first person on stage receiving Altaf on stage, outside Quaid-e-Azam International, holding guitar and playing &quot;Pak Sir Zameen Shaad Baad&quot;.</description>

		<description>Go ahead if you want to say anything to altaf or MQM, but ozzing posion against mahajir is simply jelousy and nothing else. Punjabis are nothing but parasites and they survive on blood of Muhajirs, Baloochies, Pushtoons and Kashmiris. Tell me, one good thing they have done themselves for Pakistan!!!!

Just one thing!!!

Anyone?</description>

		<description>Adnan &amp; Doctor, I missed you guys. this place was starting to look dull without a MQM/anti-MQM debate.

Lets not dwell on the fact that Khi wasnt developed during the 90s even though MQM was in power. we all know that. But lets try to see what was going on in the 90s as well. PML N never gave Khi enough resources to develop and PPP was too busy finding a way to get rid of them becuase as everyone knows MQM was created to destroy PPPs vote bank in Khi.

Now when MQM has developed Khi you say it was just bec Naimutullah did it. Come on yar thats not fair to MK. He worked hard. Agreed Naimutullah&#039;s legacy would have had some hand in it but you have to appreciate what MK did on its own, without belittling it.

As for Lahore being more developed then Khi. I am sure you agree that politics in Pakistan is primarily run by our brothers in Punjab therefore it is easy to divert funds to where they want it. Also development in Khi in the Past 8 yrs has been alot more then Lahore, mainly becuase proper fund were diverted to the city. As for the demography in Lahore, what percentage of Non Punjabis have you met in Lahore? I am guessing less then 10%. To develop a city the population as a whole not just one ethnic group has to own it. No one OWNS Khi except MQM. Therefore 30% of Non Muhajir dont care what happens in Khi becuase at the time of elections or the census they will probably be counted in their own village. Agreed there are some NOn-Muhajirs which have settled in Khi but they dont account for much and they still have strong roots in their own cities. 

As for this Salman Ahmeds letter, there is no proof that it is really true or if it is from Salman Ahmed. I recieved this sometime back in an email and the originator could have been any one.</description>

If you liers anti mohajirs can&#039;t answer me means you are only biased against urdu speaking people simply called mohajirs.

Hate against mohajirs started the day urdu speaking people entered in city country after giving 2.5 million lives.

		<description>Ameer hamza you didn&#039;t need to reveal your identity. These so called Altaf Bai&#039;s licker are ignorant enough that they consider Altaf as god hence noone could curse him but Punjabis. Days r no far when so called whiners will realise that the real world is different than their imaginary world where Altaf appears more sexier than Aiswarya.

p.s: Salman Ahmad is nothing but another opportunist. A whiner precisely.</description>

		<description>Problem is that west loves nurturing mass murderers and butchers like Altaf bai, General (Abdul Rasheed) Dostum (Northern Alliance) and other traitors who could further their cause and help them achieve their sinister goals. they would use them,fund them,assist them and give them logistical and financial support, as long as they are toeing the line they are good guys and west will turn a blind eye to their genocidal murdering ,illegal crimes and human right abuses but if they ever betray the west or are no more neeeded then they are easily eliminated like a toilet paper. sword of international criminal tribunal(Hague) and extradition always hangs on their head.

These traitors kill their own people to remain in the good books of west.</description>

		<description>This is what Salman Ahmed, former guitarist for Junoon wrote:

An open letter by Salman Ahmed, a famous Pakistani singer, to all Pakistani. 

&quot;Altaf Hussain and his murdering accomplices deserve to be tried for their crimes against Pakistan. I’ve been threatened by them on many occasions in the past 15 years. One particular time was when I refused to perform at Altaf’s marriage function in Karachi and London where all the other artists, including Ali Azmat, were browbeaten to go and perform for his “Majesty’s” pleasure. The man who threatened me was called “Khalid bin Walid” who was a known terrorist and a murderer. He told me that Altaf Hussain, “his Quaid” had especially demanded me to appear with Junoon to perform at their ceremony function.

&quot;When I refused to comply he called up my staff and my sound company guy, Ishtiaq Ahmed,and threatened them with dire consequences if I didn’t go. Ishtiaq pleaded with me to go and perform or risk being killed,and all this OVER REFUSING TO PLAY AT A MARRIAGE FUNCTION!

&quot;As fate would have it,I’m still alive, but Mr. Walid was killed a few weeks later in a shootout in Karachi with Haqiqi activists.(Those who live by the sword die by the sword).

&quot;In 1992,they also threatened to abduct my wife and children if I didn’t show up at an MQM rally and welcome their leader Azim Tariq. I still live happily with respect and dignity but alas Azim Tariq was also was killed in a mob feud. My friends, Junaid Jamshed and Sajid Hassan worried for my safety told me that I’m putting my family at risk every time I refuse to obey these goons and on every occasion I told him that if I give into their terror tactics I can not call myself a Muslim.

&quot;Allah is our protector and He has commanded us to stand up against injustice and that is why I applaud Imran Khan for speaking the truth about Altaf Hussain and his goon squad. I think the time has come for all Pakistanis to stand up and be counted. Do you want to live as a citizen of a country with dignity and all your rights protected or as a slave in someone’s fiefdom?

“Baad-e-mukhalif sey na ghabra aye uqaab
yeh to chalti hai terey oonchi uraan kay liye” -Iqbal

(Don’t be afraid of flying against the wind, oh Falcon,
this wind only blows to help you fly higher)

Allah hu Akbar!

Salman Ahmad
