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 an honest, upright, naive officer, was posted at xyz but I swear I had absolutely no idea about this dirty 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 that Intelligence agencies rule Pakistan, 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. So in 92, even if NS had intervened to stop the operation, our agencies might well ask him to pack the bag (the same pretext Durrani used while referring to a question as to why PPP gov was conspired against and removed, his reply was that the PPP was acting against national interest) therefore instead of acting on screen, MQM should reach out to the collars of those GENERALs (as in Waseem Akhtar’s own words if they have any “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 us it was PPP gov when his brother was gunned down. This Altaf Hussain conveniently (deliberately?) forgets to mention since kiunki Sindh hakumat bi toh chalani hai.
4. The reason why ISPR later pressurized media not 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 irrespective of his association. If innocent blood is what mr. Altaf crying about why he is not vocal for a judicial commission on May-12. The tele-acting might be justified for his followings (especially Mohajirs whose loved ones were brutally killed in 92) but the wise one should see behind the apparent.
6. Altaf bhai asked Chief Justice to take suo moto action and inquire on 92. One can humbly ask: 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 accept 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 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 national 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).

Karachi is the trade hub of the country, and as any economist will tell you, when an urban centre is developed without enough attention to rural or even semi urban areas, rural-urban migration is only natural. Karachi thus attracts a number of migrants from not only the N.W.F.P, but all over the country. This migrant population then assimilates into the workforce and over the years has become an integral economic force in the city.

The Pakhtuns too have become an indispensable part of Karachi. Not only do they control most of the public transportation system, but a majority of cobblers, tea hotel owners, construction labourers happen to be Pakhtuns.

No matter what political reasons are given for any conflict, the underlying reason is always economic. Talibanisation, thus, is only an excuse. The faultline for the current conflict are all Pakhtun majority areas specially the adjoining areas to the Pahar Ganj. The land has appreciated in value, but remains the stronghold of Pakhtuns, a thorn in the side of the land mafia that controls the rest of the city- or that is what the unbiased residents of North Nazimabad, Block A, C and Q claim who find themselves in the middle of the bloodshed. They claim that violence erupted in the area last night when the Pakhtun flag on the hill was replaced by a ‘Muhajir’ flag.

The residents of the area fear that over the next few days, the violence will escalate, unless the power struggle between the two ethnic parties is resolved.

Mr. Khudnood tries to clear the picture at DAILY JINNAH. Readers will read it all below but i 100% agree to his views on biased/selective truth our media churns out these days. Everyone know how brave they become when Fazal ur Rehman, or Mr Zardari or Nawaz or previous president were to be dragged but will we ever see a day when they can ever name those “namaluum afraad” (unidentified men) or change it into some meaningful names or groups etc . . .

FULL POST

Lately there have been shady reports coming in from different parts of Karachi that Pakhtun hotels and dhabas are being put out of commission overnight.

There are also reports that Pakhtuns are being systematically sought out and removed from mohajir based areas as the leader of MQM has warned his party of the dangers these people somehow pose. Removal means eviction by landlords, refusal to buy goods from pakhtun businesses and so on

I thought it would be a good idea for us to engage in some citizen journalism and see if this is actually taking place or is more here say to fan the flames of ethnic violence in our city. This can easily be accomplished as most of us live in different areas of Karachi and can report via comments as to what is actually going on while trying to stay away from a political tilt in any direction.

So answer the above poll and tell us why you think this is or is not happening, based on your own locality. Pretty soon we should have a city wide grasp of the ground reality in this matter

First, he won’t get any license. 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.

If in case he gets the license, he will do lot of things.

For one, he will not allow CNG rickshaw to remain green for ever. He will turn it into red blood with various slogans and his huge portraits, made white using extra box of talcum powder.

Non-Mohajirs won’t be allowed to sit in his CNG rickshaw. He will only allow Mohajirs to sit behind him (he likes everyone behind him!) He will also not use the traditional peep peep horn. In fact, he will use mulla-style speakers and blare MQM-zindabad slogans as he weaves his way across the city. His CNG Rickshaw will also not look like a CNG Rockshaw but more like a donkey fitted rickshaw. (Most of his party looks like a bunch of donkeys). And his CNG rickshaw will not climb the many idiosyncratic flyovers his assistant, Mr. Mustafa Kamal, has built around the city. So he being Altaf Hussain will flatten most of them much to the determinant of the city and its exploding population.

Altaf Hussain being Altaf Hussain will also not allow Pushtun-run buses to ply the city without harassing them. He will make sure that his red-blood CNG Rickshaw is always parked in front of their mini-buses. He will also try and poke Pushtuns and will try and provoke them. This will cause massive blood-shed in the city and Altaf Hussain being Altaf Hussain would ask all Mohajirs to carry arms so that they may protect themselves from the ‘terrorists’ Pushtuns. Thereafter, all CNG Rickshaws would be snatched at gun-point and other points from other drivers, painted red, with MQM flags installed and Altaf bhai portraits flashing with dark face and elephant white teeth. Then all these red-painted rickshaws will move behind Altaf Bhai’s rickshaw and will stop whenever he gives his comic speech to the millions of bhais and sisters of the city. (Meri behnoon tumhara kia, mein janoon mera Rickshaw janay).

Altaf Hussain is requested to remain in London and die there and not become the CNG Rickshaw driver in the city of Quaid-e-Azam. We can do without Altaf bhai riding the red-blood rickshaw. God Willing.

He is wanted in multiple murder and rape cases which took place around and after 1995. He is wanted by mothers whose sons he ordered dead; he is wanted by husbands whose sisters were raped and thrown away in ditches; he is wanted by sons of the soil whose fathers he threw in bags.

Altaf Hussain is like any other dictator who decides to loot his own people and then flee. He is like Russian butchers and he is like many un-crowned kings of our times and of times gone dead. I don’t find any reason to believe that he is any different from President Bush or Israeli armed forces who go around killing Muslims. They kill in the name of God; Altaf bhai killed and continues to do so (recall the events of 12th May, 2007) at whim in the name of freedom. His fear is so much that news editors until now refrained from writing anything on him; news channels never made any parody on him (now sometimes they do so); and no student of politics ever choose to speak against the atrocities committed by his pet party, MQM.

I would like to hear from people why they support or like him, if they do so. I cannot find a reason to like a killer. He must be, in my humble opinion, brought back to Karachi to face murder trials.
