But first over to what Nusrat Javed has tried to exposed on LVT and he is on spot without wasting time. This is neither about 92 operation, nor about PML vs MQM and nor about what really happened in 92, this is actually a new stunt to save Mr. Musharraf. Let’s expose the script:

1. The timing of this disclosure by Brigadier is strange but since recently a new fashion among retired officers to become haji/momin on TV has developed (The durraniz, the hameed guls and the Aslam baigs) telling us fascinating stories excluding themselves of any ill doing. They start like: I was a kid, I was stationed there, here, in air, under water but I swear I had absolutely no idea about this dirty evil game being played, trust me its mr. XYZ who did all the dirty killing, abduction, MNA/MPA buying, I was just doing my holy ISI/MI/IB duty.
2. Everyone knows the agencies rule this country, and politicians are just a public face on whom all dirt is thrown when something goes wrong. Be it Nawaz, BB, Altaf or any other we known well the actual power and decision making especially on National Security comes from Pindi. Even if NS has intervened to stop the operation the agencies might well ask him to pack the bag (the same pretext Durrani used while referig to a question as to why PPP gov was conspired against and removed, his reply was it was acting agaist national interest) therefore instead of acting on screen, MQM should reach out to the collars of those GENERALs or in Waseem Akhtar’s own words if they have a “mard ka bacha” if they have guts but wait, like Khuaja Asif said the other day, there is a method behind this MQM madness and it is this:
3. With or without Jinah pur being a drama or truth, there is no doubt that MQM then (openly) and now (covertly) has a militant wing and it should have been dealt the way it was in 92 except that, since our establishment has this habit of going too far they mostly killed the innocent Urdu speaking in their anger on MQM. If Altaf bhai has anyone to shout at, wisdom dictates, to have some guts to name the Generals/Brigadiers/colonels behind the decision making. It is also very unfortunate that his brother (who no doubt is innocent) had to pay the price for some dirty fishes in MQM then. And if history’s mind serves correctly it was PPP gov when his brother was gunned down. This he conveniently (deliberately?) forgets to mention since kiunki Sindh hakumat bi toh chalani hai.
4. The reason why ISPR later pressurized media to further continue with Jinahpur map drama was possibly because it could also put MQM-Haqiqi (one more agency PRODUCT ) in bad position since haqiqi also claims true representation of Mohajirs. Haqiqi might have requested agencies not to continue it since it could also undermine their own cause.
5. Also an innocent is an innocent nowhere whom he/she belongs to. Why he is ot vocal a judicial commission on May-12. The tele-acting might be justified for the light hearted viewers (especially the ones whose loved ones were brutally killed in 92) but experience has taught the wise one’s to see behind the apparent.
6. Altaf bhai asked Chief Justice to take suo moto action and inquire on 92. Here is my humble question to him: If CJP does inquire and a commission is set will he present himself in it for TRUTH FINDING purpose? Will he accept that there were indeed some kana’s langraz and dhobiz who were indeed terrorists? If the commission concludes, that some content of the proof against MQM (say 25%) was indeed true and there were some torture cells etc. Will he as LAW loving preacher accept that commission report or repeat court storming of SHC  like they did to pressurize judges on May 12 fact finding inquiry? If his answer is YES, we as KHI citizen fully support his demand.

A simple summary of this complex game goes like this:

Mr. Nawaz Sharif, due to twist of fate finds himself trying to break the Establishment’s KID label and is seen now as the only anti-establishment person in political basket. Everyone tried to get him away from Mr. Musharraf’s trial but no success so guess so first the Saraiki provice fuss and now the new drama? This PKpolitics post (alternate link ) saves my time to explain in detail the reason why MQM is hell bent upon selectively thrashing PML. Are all these frequent meetings recently by Mush himself and his men to discuss weather in London?. Has anyone noticed how suddenly article 6 has disappeared from screens and all the noise now is about a dead story, just because some lately-mominized brigadier’s conscience woke up to uphold the truth?

MQM should now grow up and try to act like a political party (which it has full potential) instead of playing in the hands of agencies. The same agencies who kept using it to pressurize/control PPP in Sindh and PML/ANP in center. The dictator has thrown many bones since 2002 and they enjoyed his company and now he is dying. Why they want to risk their own party life for a lost chapter. If they are really honest with their own cause they should (and everyone should support them) forcefully push for bringing the agency officers then to justice instead of selective criticism to save a dictator, that is, if they are really honest to the innocents killed in 92. Moreover mr. NS should stop acting like he was too helpless then and apologize for not resigning in 92 with dignity or else face the Law accordingly.

I believe PML is as corrupt/as PPP/MQM but even a kid can see why this whole fuss is started : Very simple : put as much pressure as possible on PML so it can quit its stance on NRO (to benefit ZARDARI) and ARTICLE 6 (to benefit MUSH saheb).
