I have always been against MQM due to their terrorist activities however, I do want to take a total fresh look. I want to take the comments of Faisal and Haider positively and analyse. I believe if MQM is not an establishment party and a terrorist organization, it should consider a few points (I am writing all these points with a very positive mind and in favor of MQM - so I expect MQM supporters to be positive in reading these and help me learn more by responding with educating and unemotional comments. I would myself like to see "ordinary men" coming into parliment in islamabad and all provinces):
- I love the fact that MQM brings an ordinary man on front. That's a great thing. No doubt about it at all. That's very appreciable thing. However, all supporters and workers of MQM should think about something. Are their emotions being misused by Altaf Hussain and other leadership? I believe that is the case but I am not someone to decide since I am not a part of MQM. I can't even make a solid opinion. Its only MQM supporters and workers who can do that. I believe the supporters and workers of MQM are mostly honest people but someone is playing dirty politics on the top, sitting in London.
- MQM should stop the stupid politics of always being in government, doing nothing about government performance and then standing up on issues only when someone from govt side says something about MQM (MQM has recently proven that in case of Zulfiqar Mirza statements).
- MQM needs to clearly get itself separated from GHADDAR MUSHARAF. Being a supporter of a ghaddar brings dirt on MQM's image as well. Anyone can see the supporters of MQM and Ghaddar Musharaf are same. That goes really negative for MQM.
- MQM needs to get involved in national issues as well instead of remaining a Karachi party. For example, no MQM leader came up and give a single statement in relation to Raymond Davis (please correct me if I am wrong). That helps affirm some people's concerns that MQM is an agent of RAW and CIA (I m not saying that ... others do). So MQM needs to stand up on such issues and demonstrate that it is affected when any person is mistreated/killed, etc.
- There are many great guys in MQM, so to show that it is different from other parties, it should have elections and instead of Altaf Hussain, someone else should lead the party, who is within Pakistan. That will also change the perception of MQM. Why is a dictator ruling the party? How does it make different than other parties which also have dictators like Zardari, Nawaz, etc. MQM has been over 30 years old now and not like a party which is trying to get established. It has been in parliament many times and claims to be 3rd largest party. Agreed. Then why Altaf Hussain is King of MQM??? That is against the basic party manifesto anyway.
- Altaf Hussain should be educated not to give such statements anywhere especially when addressing Indians. I guess all of the readers of my comment would have seen the video in which Altaf Hussain commented that making of Pakistan was an error and that India should help mahajirs. What a pathetic leader. Sorry to say. And I am not criticizing MQM. But suggesting that a better leader should emerge when you have guys like FAISAL SABZWARI. My suggestion is stop worshipping just one person and giving outrageous power. Instead bring up better leaders. I am all with MQM if better leaders and change in a few policies can come up.
- Eliminate tashaddud ki siasat to an extent that it should only be in defence and not in attack. If MQM needs to pick up arms due to being attacked and after they don't get justice from judicial system, that's fine. But not otherwise.
- MQM should increase the level of tolerance and patience. That will really help change the image. A lot of times, their style of jazbatiat gets their score lower. Even if something makes you angry, u can still take a deep breath and answer patiently. There will be a lot of benefit in improving the image. MQM has already achieved great success in establishing the ground. May be, during that, agression was needed. But its not needed now. Now, is the time to elevate the image in eyes of all people. Trust me it won't take long to change that image if some patience and tolerance is shown. Stop treating Altaf Hussain as GOD or MESSENGER i.e. if someone like Chaudhry Nisar says something about your leader, be patient and answer properly. That will BOOST your image.
- If Altaf Hussain's life is in danger, just get another leader whose life is not but head of the party should be local and not someone sitting aborad and getting pictures displaying British Passport (that was so immature). Again, please realize, I am not speaking against MQM at all. I think MQM base is great i.e. ORDINARY MEN OF PAKISTAN....
All for now. Expecting helpful unemotional answers from MQM supporters. Thank you all for the patience and open mindedness in reading my comment.
If MQM is an honest party working in national interest, it is my wish that they get more and more success.
