Clean-up mess

Karachi, December 13 The operation launched yesterday in Sohrab Goth, aimed at ridding the area of drugs and weapons, ends in failure. Only 65 kilos of heroin, one Kalashnikov and 2,000 rounds of ammunition are recovered from what is considered to be one of the most important transit posts in the international heroin trade. A high-level leak is suspected to be the cause for the failure.

Orangi killings

Karachi, December 14 An unprecedented massacre of innocent citizens takes place in Qasba Colony, Aligarh Colony and Sector 1-D of Orangi in the early hours of the morning as several hundred marauders open fire on residents with Kalashnikovs and 7mm rifles, setting fire to homes in the area. The police refuse to intervene in what is viewed as a revenge attack by Pakhtuns on a largely mohajir locality. The carnage continues until around 4 pm, when the army is finally called in. The official death toll is 49, and several hundred more are injured.

According to the lawyer, Faiza said this action from her has its basis in Altaf’s "insulting" and "callous" attitude towards her, over the past six years. She also alleged that after marriage she was virtually made a prisoner.She alleged that the main goal for Altaf Hussain at the time of the marriage was to acquire UK citizenship .Once that was achieved his attitude started changing, leading to separation and now filing of the divorce.

Now you can imagine what kind of lowlife douche bag this mentally unstable person really is that he didn’t even spared his wife and Father in law.

Any one who talks about the crimes committed by this criminal gang is instantly tagged ‘Anti Muhajir’ and results in eventually receiving death threats as it was apparent from the case of journalist threatened and tagged Anti Muhajir by MQM Altaf.

My real bone of contention is with MQM and its criminals like those involved in burning people alive,murdering,threatening,extorting money from karachiites and involved in other heinous crimes.For the umpteenth time MQM Altaf is NOT synonymous with Muhajirs nor karachiites and is simply a bunch of hardened criminals and crooks,giving a bad name to muhajirs plus you too by constantly being persistent and stubbornly naive are trying to send out a negative image of Muhajirs that these criminals and terrorists am talking about are indeed muhajirs,which is certainly not the case and neither my intention.

Moreover am not at all related to or associated with Tahreek-e-Insaaf But its a fact that TI is not involved in burning or brutally murdering karachiites either..

"And Urdu speaking community, almost all of which came from India, has been hijacked by these crackpot MQM and Altaf Husain. Lot of Urdu speakers are now unable to make decisions on their own and instead follow these foolish men of terror. I hope people of Karachi are able to distinguish b/w Urdu speakers and the bloody MQM."

They don’t care about Urdu speaking community they only cares about how to crash MQM and urdu Speaking dominance of this city.

and all this is because of the thinking of Punjab and punjabies that they are superior and they have the right to rule Karachi and Pakistan.
These soo called Patriotic people got MUM when Punabi Nationalist Leader Nawaz Sharif was ruling Pakistan and US fired missiles using Pakistani Air space into afghanistan.

While people have the right to express their dislike for MQM and Altaf Hussain. They should make sure that it is not offensive.

A blog is a community, there are some rules and etiquites to behave and communicate with in the community. We come here to celebrate our city and our differences, but we do not come here to see bad offensive humor so that we write comments and the author could feel proud that he attracted a hundered thousand comments.

I respect author’s freedom of expression and consider this post as his attempt on being funny. However, I myself along with many other commenters above failed to get the humor. Perhaps it has something to do with our lower-middle-class upbringing?

There were phrases that were racist such as:

PPP wants all Sindhis, mostly un-educated and belonging to interior, to do everything. From sweepers to customs officers at port, to PIA’s various GMs, and the President of the god-damn country.

The author totally ignores the Prime minister of Pakistan, and other ministers from Punjab in the federal cabinet. Also these lines make PPP look like a mob of uneducated waderas. Or that PPP prefers Sindhis who are ultimately uneducated and mis fit for the jobs.

The lines mentioning Altaf Hussains skin color and white teeth were also very annoying.

I wouldn’t say that the post should be removed. But such attempts to provoke people so that they comment in order to defend their favorite political parties or show their disgust, must be discouraged. I don’t mind well written humor. But if I have to entertain myself with sick minded fun i would rather go to watch Umer Sharif at the arts council.
