I'm not a Zaid Hamid supporter neither am I an MQM voter, although i try and listen to both of them closely, and I try to read between the lines. MQM might have a militant wing and it might not, but we have to look at the history of affairs in Karachi since it's inception as a city of Pakistan in 1947. Secondly i know for sure, that the corruption charges are a blatant lie and i didn't expect this from Zaid Hamid. He has the right to criticize MQM as much as he wants and vice verse, but he should not blatantly cook things up about corruption and Mukti Bahini. MQM might have a militant wing as i said before but they are not Ghaddars, neither are their voters nor their supporters Ghaddars.
This Ghaddar mentality has taken us down, seriously. I'm sick and tired of this Ghaddar/Munafiq/Mushrikeen etc. We use these words so easily, i mean 99% of people do not even know the sensitivity of these words.
The only problem is education, if we have a proper system of education that is of high standard and focuses on thought provocation and emphasizes on research analysis, at the same time being free to all till the secondary level and universities should be subsidized, then only can be bring a culture of thinking, creating, and accepting each others point of views and ideologies. I've studied in Pakistan, United Kingdom, and Canada. Believe me even the university level education in Pakistan is of the lowest standards producing below par/standard graduates (no offence please). This is the reason why we haven't learnt anything, consider ourselves to be correct all the time, do not have patience, do not listen to anyone else's point of view, are very quick to pass judgments about one another's religion, beliefs, ideologies, life styles, consider the people we follow or like as God's, kill people randomly, no respect and/or fear of the law.
We have been dehumanized, and the gap between a common man in Pakistan and an animal is closing. We are literally behaving like them, on the streets, in the houses, on the internet.
Zaid Hamid has all the right to say what he wants but he just cannot put a stamp on someones patriotism etc, at the same time Altaf Hussain should mellow down a bit, and just come back now! (I'm not saying this sarcastically) It is in an academic thought. MQM will gain strength, they will be able to perform better, and law and order will be under control which will prosper Karachi. I'm a big fan of the model of governance and the political party model that MQM has provided Pakistan, but I personally also know that they have workers, who carry guns, have killed people, they control the streets and they have been involved in violence in Karachi, but I do not put all the blame on them, I can justify a lot of their violence and isolated mindset and the fear they carry, It is justifiable, but some of the blame also goes on them.
Anyway, guys take care
