There is a sad and dangerous situation developing. Pakistan is becoming pretty much ungovernable. Agay Agay Dekheay Hota Hai Kiya! I just hope Pakistanis regain their senses before the country collapses and becomes a failed state like Afghanistan or Iraq or Somalia. If it does, we'll ALL be in trouble: Punjabis, Sindhis, Mohajirs, Pathans and Baluchis. Let's try and save it for all of us.Riaz Haqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522781692886598586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848640164815342479.post-14930934500893443022008-07-08T15:54:00.000-07:002008-07-08T15:54:00.000-07:00I don't give a damn if politicians and people from...I don't give a damn if politicians and people from Punjab want to give its ethnic color. If you look at all the posts on bloggers.pk , you could find so much hate for Karachi, Muhajirs and MQM that I now literally have a problem with a Punjab for the first time. Specially look at posts at pakspectator.com and see the biases of authors from Punjab against Karachi and MQM. We won't protest for the return of their Punjabi Gunja leader at all. And this is coming from a person who is residing in US, working in a MNC in high tech and went to school in US. The blogs have helped me to identify their hate against us and now I truly understand why MQM was created and why was it needed in first place. How can I forget Dec 27th when Benazir was killed and 1000 cars weer burnt in one day in Karachi and Muhajirs(no fault of us) were targeted all over the Karachi and Sindh but MQM did not retaliate and no body would discuss that, people would only talk about May 12th incident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848640164815342479.post-83796050691177505092008-07-08T15:07:00.000-07:002008-07-08T15:07:00.000-07:00Karachi has definitely prospered under Musharraf. ...Karachi has definitely prospered under Musharraf. So has the rest of Pakistan, as evident to any casual observer who happens to visit there. I have recently written a post this subject titled "Foreign Visitors to Pakistan Pleasantly Surprised".<BR/><BR/>What is unfortunate is the fact that Karachi's appreciation and support of Musharraf has been given an ethnic color by the politicians in other parts of the country.<BR/>These efforts have re-kindled ethnic tensions in Karachi and other parts of the country. Let's hope Pakistanis are smart enough to realize that political differences are not necessarily based on ethnicity, as demonstrated by several high-profile Karachi-ites who have strongly opposed Musharraf's arbitrary actions beginning in 2007.Riaz Haqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522781692886598586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848640164815342479.post-34533938539118997812008-07-08T10:21:00.000-07:002008-07-08T10:21:00.000-07:00Mush is truly loved in Karachi and this is the rea...Mush is truly loved in Karachi and this is the reason he is still there. No opposition has ever succeeded in Pakistan w/o support of Karachites and you wont find many Karachi walas opposing him and there is a reason behind that. He is the one who introduced city governments and gave funds to Karachi to build under passes and fly overs. Karachi has seen more construction in last 6 years then all together 50 years before that. Generally Karachi has been peaceful in this era and Mush has made MQM to behave in a peaceful manner. KSE has grown and private sector has many jobs. Generally people in Karachi are very happy with him. No wonder Karachi has the most literacy rate and people there know what is good for country and what is happening around the globe. May be you should write a post on Karachi and Mush relationship at Teeth Maestro site. Most of the hate for Mush is coming from Punjab while Karachi has no issues with him and it would be stupid to think its due to fear of MQM that people are not coming on the roads. Jamat-e-Islami simply can't gather people against Mush here other wise they are very organizedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
