They don't count,he was migrant as per your logic.
There are more Muhjirs in Punjab than Sindh could have.
Punjabis believe that Everyone eats what Almighty has given him and for what he tries for.
P.S:-It's a shame that people still want to become Punjabis,Sindhis,Balochis,Pashtuns,Biharis,UP walas,Malabaris when they live in Pakistan and eat in Pakistan.
Lets agree to disagree on the first point.
On second point, I am with you and to be honest, I would like all Muhajirs to learn Sindhi and speak it but I am sorry to say we would still be considered as fake sindhi at minimum. If my ancestors had migrated to Punjab instead of Sindh and If I would have spoken punjabi , I am pretty I would have never felt different.
There were two turning points in my life that made me reflect upon my believes regarding Altaf and MQM and my Background in general . I used to hate him prior to 2007 for his anti-sindhi remarks but then I became his supporter and later dropped him after he became a full blown traitor. Two life changing events.
1. Assassination of Benazir Bhutto. In the aftermath of BB killing , a huge mob of sindhi speaking people came near our colony and started chanting slogans , " Lets kill all Makars( Muhajirs)" , " Lets kill all these parasites" . Makar is slur used against muhajirs. Those guys killed one security guard and injured another one. After that , they looted and burned a petrol pump near our colony. Those slogans really made me frightened. I mean , I believed we all were equal and same so why such slogans ???
2. In my university , there was a huge concentration of Sindhis , especially from inner sindh. Since I could converse in Sindhi , I started talking to them and they all harbored anti-Muhajir sentiment. Photos of G M Syed were posted in canteen shops and lecture halls. You tell me , how can someone with my background can feel secure when people revere and respect a guy who said " Muhajirs last refuge will be Arabian Sea"
After that , other events like Quota system , disproportionate recruitments of Sindhi speakers in Sindh Government and etc were also a cause of concern but I never really considered them as major factors for my apprehension as I always thought that Sindhis are my brothers and even if they are in the majority in Sindh government , they will not harm us.
But that sentiment quickly changed when I started learning about my background. I researched and read history books , watched speeches of nationalist sindhi leaders. Read about the history of MQM and why it came into existence , History of G M Syed and his influence and etc
I don't expect you to relate to me because after all it would be disingenuous on my part to assume someone would understand and relate me when they themselves hadn't been through same situations and experiences. I wished we had been a one true nation.
