YAAR I WANT TO SIMPLY SAY U AS WELL AS THE READER WHO ARE IGNORANT OF MQM-MAHAGIR KILLER ALTAF HUSSAIN GANG IS THAT , MQM IS ONLY PARTY IN THE HISTORY WHO FUCKED THE ORIGIN, THE MAHAGIR CAUSE!!!!!!!
The cause of this submission is pretty much necessary because the traitors of mahagir nation rapidly transforming the mahagir sect & the mahagir cause horribly.

It is important to have the know-how about what the mahagir nation really is, it is just because that the anti mahagir lobbies as well as the pro-fasht cheaters used to demolish the sense of honor & the personal rights much straightly during the tenure of past eleven 11 years.


Mohajirs OR Mahagirs, which means literally "refugee," are the Urdu-speaking Muslims who fled India after the 1947 partition of the sub-continent and their descendents. But in Islamic point of view "Mahagirs" or "Mohajirs" are only those people or persons or groups which migrated to other or another land only and sonly due to the reason to save the Islamic identity & they ( Mahagirs or Mohajirs) believed that the place where they are migrating is safer for their lives & property. MAHAGREEN-E-MADINA as well as the "HIJRAT-E-MADINA" is a historical event and the creator of Islamic calendar called "HIJRI" as well as the propagation of Islam is greatly influenced by the "HIJRAT".

Language or the tongue is not major reason of discrimination between the MAHAGIRS and non-MAHAGIRS. The people who migrated to the land of pure just due to the reason that they were not allowed to live in SUB-CONTINENT independently as per the rights of an individual, it is well said that they were evacuated forcibly by some anti-Islamic, fasht, extremist organizations & groups.

Although both Urdu and English are official languages, English is the lingua franca of most of the Pakistani elite and government ministries, which are dominated by the Punjab majority (who also speak Punjabi), so language does culturally divide Mohajirs and the Punjabis. Concentrated in the urban areas of Sindh province, they constitute two-thirds of the population of Karachi, Pakistan’s commercial center. Mohajirs are both Shi`a and Sunni Muslims. They are ethnically distinct from the Punjab majority. However, most Mohajirs’ primary identity is not religious but revolves around their "outsider" status. Competition with native Sindhis has defined Mohajirs’ political and economic situation in Pakistan more than any other factor. Sindhis, who have become a minority in their own province, have resented Mohajir political and economic influence in the urban centers. Furthermore, the primary Mohajir political organization was reportedly organized by the Punjabi-supported Zia government to counter the power of the Sindhis Pakistan people’s party. At the same time, Mohajirs have claimed that they are not represented proportionately to their population or to their financial (tax) contributions. The competition between Mohajirs and Sindhis has often escalated to violence, especially in Karachi. Recently, however, these two groups have formed an alliance that focuses discontent on the Punjab-dominated government rather than on each other, though there is no guarantee that this alliance will last.

It is interesting to note that people thought that Mohajirs are mainly represented by the Muttiheda Qaumi Movement (MQM, ALTAF OR MAHAGIR BUTCHER GROUP) but I on behalf all the Mahagirs deny this point of view from the core of my heart. The MQM (Altaf Or Mahagir Killer Group) generally held responsible for the extreme levels of violence in Karachi, although MQM mahagir butcher group) routinely denies charges of terrorism. Police frequently arrested Muttiheda's(mahagir butcherers) leaders and members and regularly harassed activists at MQM functions. Throughout 2001 and 2003, there were also reports of torture, extra-judicial killings, and limited force used against MAHAGIR protesters. In 2003, the government of mqm- MAHAGIR butcher group or Muttiheda Qaumi movement shut down Mohajir Qaumi movement (MQM-haqiqi) headquarters BAIT-UL-HAMZA, setting off protests. Mohajir protests have focused on the government repression of Mohajir activists, unemployment, more equitable distribution of funds, and the Punjab military government.

Mahagirs are truly fully represented by their identity “THE MAHAGIRS" not by any part or any group else. But for getting & gaining their political needs as well as their rights MAHAGIR sect in 1978 created, APMSO ( All Pakistan Mahagir Student Organization) as time passes the sect thought that they will have to fight for their rights nation-wide & internationally with a bigger plate from, in 1986 they termed this plate form as MQM (MAHAGIR QUOMI MOVEMENT), which today & always generally known as MQM (MAHAGIR QUOMI MOVEMENT) or MQM-HAQIQI .

Ignorant as well as the brain washed peoples know that as well as the pro-fasht media tells the fake that Mr.Altaf Hussain by own created as well as chaired & struggled for the MAHAGIR IDENTITY in very beginning. But do you know or forgetted the great mahagir leaders as well as the founders like AZEEM AHMED TARIQ (THE MARTYR CHAIRMAIN OF MQM-MAHAGIR QUOMI MOVEMENT-HAQIQI) as well as thousands of mahagirs martyrs.

Now it is notable to know that MAHAGIR ideology is horribly crushed by Mr.Altaf Hussain as he never called him self as "MAHAGIR". He is the person who just for his own selfish views & perspective lit up the flag of Pakistan.

In between 1990 and 1992 the whole MAHAGIR nation thought what they have done, they want to come back, and the remedy is only to resolve THE MQM (MAHAGIR QOUMI MOVEMENT). People called this act as faction’s but it is being denied because mahagirs are only MAHAGIR not the Urdu speaking persons in major.

REAL MQM OR HAQIQI MAHAGIR QUAMI MOVEMENT (MQM-Haqiqi), today only & sonly a single political party who only work for the cause of MAHAGIR under the leadership of the servants of MAHAGIR ideology not as the Mqm(Altaf Or Mahagir Killer Group) Fasht, Pro-Qadiani, Pre-American, Anti-State, Outocrately dominated and self centered & ALSO ONLY FOR SELF PROTECTING agendas.

Now coming towards the subject that why today mahagirs feel shy in representating themselves as mahagirs, it is only due to the reason that the Mqm(Altaf Or Mahagir Killer Group) has created a nation vide theme that all the mahagirs are terrorists, they are working for the indian agendas and they are raw agents etc etc.

This is only just for the increment of their self-centered political as well as social life. The MQM (Altaf or Mahagir Killer Group) as well as Mr Altaf Hussain clearly knows that mahagir ideology is the one which will wipe out all the fakes and flatters which he & his companions have created.

It is again imporant to write as well as to circulate that till today MAHAGIR QUOMI MOVEMENT MQM- HAQIQI well & fully conservative, effactive & ideological as it was on the day of 1986& refereshed as 19th of JUNE.

It is greatly visionary to note down that the cause of MAHAGIR QUOMI MOVEMENT MQM- HAQIQI is just to struggle for the rights of suffered MAHAGIR sect MEMBERS, this is not the selfishness as Mr.Altaf Hussain ( the founder, chairman as well as the organiser of MAHAGIR BUTCHER & SELF-CENTERED GANG). The actual agenda of Mr.Altaf Hussain ( the founder, chairman as well as the organiser of MAHAGIR BUTCHER & SELF-CENTERED GANG) & his ccompainions is just to kill as well as to destroy the MAHAGIR SECT & also to distrub the social & economical situation of PAKISTAN.

Mr.Altaf Hussain ( the founder, chairman as well as the organiser of MAHAGIR BUTCHER & SELF-CENTERED GANG) & his parteners used the theory of MAHAGIR QATIL OR MAHAGIR HI MAQTOOL ( MAHAGIR BUTCHERER & MAHAGIR TO BUTCHER) very effecitvely and is harmly poisioned out the other ethic groups that MAHAGIR NATION is a terrorist one, they only do kilings, demands ransoms, pack borries, atemps rapes etc etc

Mr.Altaf Hussain ( the founder, chairman as well as the organiser of MAHAGIR BUTCHER & SELF-CENTERED GANG) is the only one who EACH & EVERY time blamed MAHAGIR QUOMI MOVEMENT MQM- HAQIQI for the terrorist activties & immoral senes in KARACHI. They are the one who fantcised the PERVAIZ MUSHARRAF outocracy.

AGAIN & AGAIN I(A student from the most suffered, negalected sect, Mahagir) just want to convey a message that,

MAHAGIR SECT IS NOT A TERRORIST ONE AS WELL THE "MAHAGIR QUOMI MOVEMENT MQM- HAQIQI" DOES NOT EVER WANTS TO HARM OTHER ETHIC OR RELIGIOUS GROUPS, ORGANISATIONS OR EVEN AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON.

MAHAGIRS ARE PEACE LOVERS-------- THEY DOES NOT WANTS TO CREATE PANIC IN SOCIETY
MAHAGIRS HAVE CARE OF ALL THE ETHICS -------- THEY DOES NOT WANTS TO EXTERMINATE THE MORAL VALUES
MAHAGIRS HAVE AFFECTION FOR PUNJABIS-------- MAHAGIRS ADORES SINDIS ------MAHAGIRS HEARTLY RESPECTS THE PAKTOONS--------- MAHAGIRS ESTEEMS THE GREAT BALUCHIS------------ MAHAGIRS ARE WITH SARAIKIS,HAZAREWALS,KASHMIREES,HINKOS AND ALL THE DEPRIVED, SUFFERED & NEGLECTED INNOCENTS BELONGINGS OF ALL RACES, CASTES & CREED & ALL WHO ARE ARE NON MAHAGIRS..................................................
MAHAGIR STANDS WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DOES NOT TRIATES THE MAHAGIR CAUSE......................................
MAHAGIR SECT WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO IGNORE APPROX ONE LAC FIFTEEN THOUSAND KILLINGS..........
MAHAGIR SECT NEVER FORGET THE KILLERS OF MAHAGIR, PUNJABIS, SINDIS, PAKTOONS, BALUCHIS, SARAIKIS,HAZAREWALS,KASHMIREES,HINKOS INNOCENT PEOPLES......................................................................... ................
MAHAGIRS WILL NEVER OVER LOOK THE GUNRUNNERS!!!!!!!!!!!

This not the end of the butchers story, amazingly mahagir sect is not a hope less one, they feel proud on the mahagir martyrs & the sacrifices they have given.

Are mahagirs are doing wrong?????? ARE WE MAHAGIRS ARE TERRORIST?????
No, not at all. If one believes that mahagirs are doing wrong than he is the great supporter of Altaf Hussain and his non- agenda based, biased agency. If today mahagirs are wrong than the all the freedom fighter are wrong, all the right-cause based movements are false, all the motto based struggles are just fakes, the Palestine, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan and the creation of our beloved homeland Pakistan will be a flatter.

Last but not the least let us unite for the great mahagir cause.

KINDLY CONVEY THE MESSAGE OF PEACE TO ALL IF YOU ARE ABLE TO CIRCULATE THEN DO IT AT THE LEVEL OF YOUR BEST.

Take care

Re: # 15 Well Che as your name suggests, if militancy is to shake the status quo and empower the working class, then I may support it on some grounds. However, the militancy in Karachi is of a different nature.

Re: # 13. Well Tahmed, partly he is right. But I do think that MQM does whip it too much and that is thrawting its actual potential. I am not anti MQM and I have stated my reasons for that. It is a party which if it becomes soft on militancy can really play a very meaningful progressive role.
Rememeber they were the only one opposing Nizam -i- Adl when every one was actually bowing in front of the militants.
I like its secular credentials but it has to loosen on ethnic hardline stance

Skeptical the militancy is a complicated issue but the way I see it the only solution is a government who have the balls to de-weaponise Pakistan.

#11 "The nature of Pakistani politics is largely ethnic "
This is the crappy MQM way of thinking. So dont try to hide behind "everybody does it".

Re: # 11 Thanks Che...I do think that cult of personality model is a hinderance for the party. I think MQM can be a mainstream party while still adhering to the Mohajir concerns. I like its secular approach and its ability to develop a system where problems at the grassroot level are identified and solved. Moreover MQM is the only party which has leadership from lower middle class to middle class level. However, militant element has to be reduced and it can not be reduced with out shaking off this cult of personaility model and over relinace on ethnicity. That was the central point of my article.
I see a lot of potential in the party even if it stays largely confined to Karachi.

#11 Posted by CheGuevara on September 9, 2009 9:06:28 am
This was a fair assesment. The nature of Pakistani politics is largely ethnic so the only question that remains is whether Muhajirs should have political representation or not. As for Altaf the man the less said the better he probably remains the biggest obstacle between MQM achieving any kind of pan-pakistan popularity, at least he doesn't seem to have any plans to hold public office.

#10 Posted by Skeptical on September 8, 2009 10:32:07 am
I never said that MQM claims itself to be liberal. I merely tried to negate this impression in the media.
Why blame MQM....well other parties though of regional orientation do not use ethnicity as a basis for fending off criticism or do not provoke strife to that extent.
PPP and PML (N) though belonging to Sindh and Punjab respectively do not whip ethnicity the way MQM does.
Moreover when i write an article about PPP and PML (N), I will point their problems also
Any how I am not anti MQM as I think given its ability to tap lower segment of society and engage masses it can play a vital role.

Dear Reza Sahib

Correct me if I am wrong but when and where has MQM proclaimed itself as a 'liberal' party? If the media wishes to use that phrase its their prerogative and most likely based on a relative scale.

Like you correctly pointed out, political parties in Pakistan have become regional parties with the exception of PPP but that party also has used its Sindhi card and will use it if needed. If politics in Pakistan is regional then why blame MQM?

I agree with your thesis that MQM can and should do more to improve its vision and move away from its violent pst, but then again that can only happen when the country is rid of its militant culture. I still remember the Late Nawab Bugti riding into the Pakistan National assembly with his private army. In a country where people need armed protection while offering prayers its unfair to expect political groups not to defend themselves or make the necessary arrangements. Benazirs murder and the attack on her convoy should not be ignored and the Tind of Punjab does not move without his posse for the exact same reasons. Point being, there is an ideal and then there is reality, unfortunately as things are right now there is very little political groups can change.

Appreciate your response. Popular support and fascist gangsterism is not a new phenomenon in politics. If MQM could be restricted from physically eliminating political opponents, the political spectrum of Karachi and Sindh will change fast. I do not expect apples from a neem tree.

Re: # 5 Sir, I have written that MQM is not a liberal party and I am not advocating it. Rather this article is actually trying to bust stance of certain sections of Media that MQM is a liberal party. I have pointed out that MQM uses discrimination paranioa to fend off criticism. If you read it again i have criticised it for militancy also.
However, a part of me still beleives that given its populist appeal and ability to engage masses, MQM can still play a progressive role. However for that its militant roots with ethinicty have to be severed. It can become mainstream by adhering to Mohajir concerns but without whipping up militancy and ethnic strife. Right now PPP and PML (N) are Sindh and Punjab based but at the same time mainstream also. They do not whip up nationailty the way MQM does

Raza Habib
You are a kind man but history or political process does not display such kindness. Peer Altaf Hussain, whose picture grew on a leaf or tomato, who asks people to recite prayers during solar-eclipse is touted as a politically 'liberal'. What next? Are you going to be the defence lawyer for RSS? ISI and military bosses have spewed hatred and created confusion again. Absolving MQM is strengthening their own political formation as their Punjabi stalwarts, Imran Khan and Hameed Gul and their traditional ally the mullas find themselves politically isolated. MQM is the pawn they try to advance again.
