These MQM supporters have Punjabi bashing stuffed in them. But I am urdu speaker born in Punjab, my family immigrated from UP but decided to settle in Pindi. I thank my forefathers for instilling in our whole family that we made this choice to move and settle here. Beleive me there are millions of who migrated and settled in Punjab. Drive on GT Road from Lahore to Pindi and you will see what I mean. But the difference was and is that we respected the local culture and language. And surprise, we learnt Punjabi and their culture (Now our Culture) and guess what Pakpatriot and others the magic word is ASSIMILATED. Nobody can calls us Muhajirs etc. We never said we were more educated or more cultured. This is the problem with Muhajirs of Karachi and Hyderabad, MQM and terrorist Altaf has instilled in them that they were superior and are still superior than the locals Pashtoons, Sindhi, Balouch or Punjabis are inferior race. This type of thinking can be seen in every speech or press conference these terrorist give.
At the same time I like to apologize for using words which i should not have in my previous posting.

hiflyer brother,
You are right about Mohajirs in Punjab.
Nevertheless, please allow me to point out some more facts.
1. Punjabi Language (and culture) is very close to the Mohajir's Urdu Language. Thus it was easy for them to adjust with each other. In Lahore almost all Punjabi families are able to understand and speak Urdu. The new generation of great Urdu Poets is coming from Punjab. There are many Families in Lahore where mother and father may speak Punjabi with each other, but they speak Urdu with children.
2. But this is not the case with Pushtoon or Sindhi Language and Culture.
And it is not only Mohajirs which were unable to get settle, but also the Punjabi families which settled in interior Sindh or Baluchistan, they are still behaved like outsiders and being attacked regularly.
Any how these attacks are entirely another thing, our main point was difference of Culture and Language due to which two communities were unable to dissolve in each other.
3. Another Natural Fact is this too that things Normally go from non-developed things to Developed things. The Urdu Language and Culture was at that time more Advanced and Developed as compared to Interior Sindh.
You see people learn English while it is more developed than Urdu and is used in books etc. But for Sindhi Language one didn't need it while better Reading Material was available in Urdu language itself.
4. Also economically Karachi was more developed than Interior Sindh. And then millions of people of other communities came to Karachi like Punjabies and Pathans, and none of them adopted Sindhi Culture and Language but Urdu was their main language of communication.
If you also consider all these facts, then you could understand why Mohajirs of Karachi were unable to adopt the Sindhi Culture and I don't think they are responsible for any crime in this case. They migrated along with a complete culture and language and it is not good to impose any other culture or language over them.
The clapping is done with both hands. Also question arises if Language or Culture of Interior Sindh came near to Mohajir Culture? Mohajirs were not in such minority in Sindh like Mohajirs in Punjab. But they are in majority in 2 big Cities. And you will go against Law of Nature if you impose foreign language and culture over them.
You have an example of Saraiki People in Punjab. They lived for hundreds of years with Punjabies but didn't give up their culture and Language.
