A bigot against the Muhajir? Dude, my DadaAbu was a Muhajir from India. I'm a Muhajir to America. I'm a Bigot against a Muhajir? Or against an Urdu speaking Karachiite? My extended family lives in Punjab, they speak Urdu. My family speaks Urdu in America amongst ourselves. Come on now.
I find it thoroughly amusing that almost everyone on this forum turns out to be a 'Mohajir' descendant. And I find it even more amusing that someone whose family has lived in Punjab, and who himself lives in the US, believes that he/she is more aware of MQM and Karachi then those who actually live here.
My mom says I look better than Brad Pitt.
I am sure AH's mom was of the same view about her son.
So the entire original MQM leadership was killed my LEAs?
Not all, many other players had a part. MQM(H) had a role, Police had a role, Rangers had a role, PPP had a role and many other players such as JI, ANP, TTP etc. This, ofcourse, is over the years. But the most that I am critical of is the Rangers. They are a massive burden on Karachi's economy, their budget is twice that of the Police while their strength is a quarter. In the same amount, we could have raised and sustained a parallel police force from Karachi, comprising of educated youth belonging to Karachi. One can only care about Karachi if he/she has roots here, if her/his ancestors are buried here, if his/her children go to school here......etc. Basically, no one can care for Karachi as much as one who has his/her entire stake in Karachi!
Why is it that only in Karachi there needs to be a ethnic party to represent people who are neither Muhajir? Will my Children have the right to be called Muhajir? What about my great grandchildren? How long are you going to say Muhajir? My cousin lives in Lahore, if she gets married and moves to Multan will she be called a Muhajir?
Mohajir is not related to the migrants any more, it represents those who speak Urdu......as otherwise all other ehtnicities are based on different languages. It is now an identity encompassed within the overall identity of a Pakistani and then Karachiite.
Don't worry about Lyari, the next elections will wipe out the PPP.
To bring in another version of Uzair Baloch, right? Who is the bigger criminal, PPP or the legacy of Liyari gangs? who is more dangerous for Karachi?
Lyari was the original Karachi. Then Pakistan got it's independence and the refugees flooded to both sides of the borders. Lyaris and other original communities of Karachi think they deserve something for living there originally. This is how it was explained to me by a person from Lyari a few years back.
I know. And to some degree, I agree with them. Although that they still refuse to enter the competition by acquiring skills and education. Anyway, do you know what people, from pre-partition, tell us of Liyari? That they were criminals even before partition and are criminals today as well. Not all, but generally that is the idea that they are into fishing, are extremely good at football, boxing, donkey cart racing, are quick and ill tempered and look to make an easy buck regardless of the means.
Yes the military was stretched thin. There are always an infinite resources that are available. The Army was never geared up for a 2 front war. ISI and MI never thought they would have to keep tabs on both sides at once. Add that to keeping tabs on the Dynasties. How many fronts do you want to open up?
I assume that you meant 'finite' as opposed to the 'infinite' that you have posted above. I agree, but the Military was neither present in Karachi then, nor is it present in Karachi now. The resources available to the military have no consequences whatsoever as Rangers, under the Chief Minister, have always been paid by the Government of Sindh out of the budget of Karachi.
And most, most importantly, critically, why was Karachi allowed to slip into the hands of Talibaan and other terrorist gangs? What you fail to acknowledge is that it happened only because MQM was cornered by the LEAs and wasn't allowed to protect their home, Karachi!
Why's the Hero wanting to run to S. Africa then?
You tell me, on the one hand you want to impose how AH is an American/British asset, on the other hand you push the agenda that he somehow wants to escape to S. Africa. So explain.
