Ghutkay how can you blame Punjabis killings in Karachi by MQM terrorrist with the help of Musharraf?
Sirf media ka hawwa hay. 90% of the unrest in Karachi in Musharafs era happened because of establishment of no go areas by ANP and PAC, ANP was eventually kicked out by Pathans of the city because their politics was disturbing the business and work of hardworking Pathans of the city. and PAC was wiped out by Rangers, even though they didnt publicize this, Karachi operation started from Liyari, and it took them around 1 year to wipe them out from there, for reference when Sind Police decided to do the operation there under Chaudry Aslam, even after 1 month of trying, they could not enter beyond the Cheal Chowk of Liyari (and thats one of the entry points of the area), even though the electricity and communications (Landlines and cellphone service) of the area was cut off. PAC was using militiary grade communication system, and hand held missiles which they used to take out number of armoured police vehicles (baktarband gari).
Aqalmand kay liay ishara kaafi hota hay. Ground realities of the city:
1. MQM had presence in all the multi ethnic areas of the city, actually almost all of them including Azizabad are multi ethnic areas. There werent any no go areas there.
2. Compare the operation against PAC to 90 operation. it took Rangers close to a year to clear out PAC, and Police failed to even enter the area for a month. while at 90 operation lasted just a day. Casualities were high in Liyari operation.
yeh to Altaf hussain satya gaya thaa warna mqm ka yeh haal nahi hona thaa.
Coming to the 90s, there was fraction in MQM, and haqiqi was created (by ARMY) in Malir. and there was fighting between the two which created unrest. Malir became a no go area, uptil 2003, during elections you would see posters and banners from MQM and JI everywhere in the city. But you would find a single one in Malir, where there were just Haqiqi posters, even then MQM managed to win seats in Malir, and irony is that even after winning MQM candidate could not enter Malir. It is important to know that Malir is surrounded by Cantonment areas, this should give you a hint on what was going on. This is first hand information, I observed this myself, I was even stopped and interogated for 10 min in Malir, on suspician of being a MQM karkun by Haqiqi operatives when i was there visiting relatives.
