MQM is fascist and extremist Mafia , murderer of innocent Pakistani Karachiits........blocking democracy and supporting an army dictator.....and is founded by Zia Ul Huq( dictator), the chief founder of MQM............

MQM, a dream of a fascist(Zia) came true by him, flousrished under his umbrella and now flourishing under the tyranny of another dictator while sucking innocent people`s blood......

Re:#45 zeemax ji
Thanks for this beautiful poetic verse. Very true!
Thank God I can read and write Urdu.

Re:#35 Urstruly sahib
Now I understand very clearly what you meant by your analogy of calling MQM(bandaars)...

I 100% agree with you..........yes, now MQM(Yazeeds) have no option left, but, to support Musharaf(yazeed).....

hassauriwala: so you dont approve of all of musharraf`s actions against the cjp and at the same time you think us ``panjabi feudals`` are dramatizing the events of may 12 and being unfair to mqm who came out with guns merely to help out musharraf prevent the cjp from holding a peaceful demonstration to speak out for the basic rights of all Pakistanis? !!

do you really believe this?

“Here in Karachi, we avoid ‘name calling’ and ‘finger pointing’ due to fear of having our knees drilled…”

Just your knees drilled ? Or your feet shot as well ( by yourself?)

I am new to Chowk and a native of Karachi.
If feudal Punjabi fraudsters stop unnecessary dramatisation of 12 May 07 they will only be doing themselves and Pakistan a huge favour . So who was going to shoot you in the knees Beena Sarwar ? Was it the napaak Generals Janjua and Naseer Akhtar ? Or they B-team the Haqiqis?


What happened on 12 May 07 was sad . But you cannot blame Karachiites or MQM than you can blame us for the Ayub Khan ethnic riots of 1966.

Seeing that as feudal idiots you have very little respect for electoral mandates, it is not much use asking you to stop ethnic hatred by repeating old lies about MQM, a party which nearly always has been elected from Karachi since 1988.

I am not saying that you should not point fingers at MQM ( or how else would you make a living ?).

But yes, what happened on 12 May 07 and the death toll of 46 is small compared to the atrocious crimes against humanity such as 1971 when Pakistan was divided into two and a greater Pakistan (free from the Bengali majority ) was dreamt up by Pakistani paindoo feudals.

As a Pakistani , I do not blindly endorse any or all of Pervez Musharraf`s actions (against the Chief Justice) or even Altaf Hussain`s actions.
There is nothing incompatible in supporting Justice Choudhry`s principled stand with supporting Altaf Hussain and Pervez Musharraf at the same time. I know that sounds a bit tough on your simple villager brain.

But by talking 1992-style feudal rubbish against MQM (such as the ``Jinnahpur`` plan concieved by Brigadier Asif Haroon of Rawalpindi), you are only alienating us Karachiites from the national mainstream.

You feudals will still not get my votes in the next election the more lies you spread about MQM.

Public image is very important to the MQM and the national outrage at their conduct may be the best prospect of compelling them to change their ways.”

Arjun,

Differences apart, we need to hear what he/she is telling (as long the posts are clean).

Re: # 30

As a matter of fact, I feel quite sorry for MQM. There is a an urdu proverb that goes like ``puri jaati daikhiyay to aadhi dijiyay baant``. The background of this proverb is a monkey who gets his hand stuck in a candy jar because he wouldn`t want to give up some of his candies. It is an undeniable fact that during NS and BB era on both occassions, MQM became coalition partners with both governments. That was the right step tworads getting themselves legitimized out of their bastardized birth by a military midwifery. But both times they reneged at the the signal of military establishment and consequently were hunted like dogs. They did not learn their lesson and brought it upon themselves to be finally controlled by pests like themselves called the Haqeeqee group. The haqeeqee group exposed the myths of invicibility and the vote bank of MQM. I can understand that they had no choice but to support a dicatator, in 1998. But alas, as long as they have this cult like mindset and mafia like leadership and enforcers they will keep getting back to square one. On 4/11/06 they had a choice not to blow up the whole leadership of sunni tehrik at Nishtar park in order to vow their new masters in US. On 5/12 they also had a choice. Unfortunately they are running out of options now.

HijRali1 - Go ahead and send that Gen. Bawaseer Lulla BuRbuR to Karachi.
And while you are at it, you may as well dig up the rotting corpse of Marhoom Gen. ``Ghazis if we win, Shaheed if we die`` Tiger Niazi Potohari and send his mutilated ass to Karachi also.

MQM has hired Gen(Retired) Ghazi Jagjit Singh Arora ``Daccawalla`` as a military consultant.

Urstruly,

Though I dont agree with whatever u write here, u are one of the well behaved Chowkies (unlike Zeemax). Echoboom is a fine guy with clean record, though he jumps with fury at all of us, he`s another nice guy with no record of direct expletives posted here.

Sadna need no certificate from me. She`s a woman with deeper insights into many issues. Even Ali-1 exhorted his Pakistani women not to waste time on tapestries, pastries and ice-fruits and post like Sadna. That`s itself is a veiled compliment.



Xena dahling,

Well said.
