why karachi has started burning again after mirza's above speech..?? just after few hours of above speech of mirza, around ten of innocents have been killed brutally and several others injured...

did punjab burn when these goons (MQM) called N-league people with abuses few weeks back... no punjab never burnt.. it's just MQM which reacts so bloodily.. I have no concern with mirza's speech but why only speech of someone allows MQM to go for the kill of several innocents.. can someone not stop those goons..!!?

oh God what a jungle ka qanoon.. someone talks on tv n MQM has started killing humans... and people here are supporting such a cruel party.. gosh..!!

@ suman
you're very right sis... people who support these goons should be ashamed of calling themselves pakistani specially sindhi.. either they're too fearful of those goons or they are living in fool's paradise..

Well, since mid-'80s, karachi has been playing with fire.initially, mohajir versus sindhi nationalists conflict, operation against mqm in early '90s,spell of activism by the punjabi pakhtun ittehad and now bloody mohajir vesus pakhtun tussle has jolted the metro quite badly. now, there is a definite pattern whereby after every brief pause, we witness turf war. then, politicians sit together and sort out their issues, violence immediately stops. "it means political negotiations put an end to street combat". it also means that politicians care not for the innocent lives of tea-makers, street vendors ets etc. this has to stop and the only way thsi could be curbed is by permanently settling the territorial issues among mqm and anp.........

I think the only situation controlling way is that the people of Karachi must be aware and have the idea of there rights as a citizen. Subsequently, the law enforcing agencies will play there role. i think the intelligence work according to the thinking of the whole society. So people must awake before the acting of the people, the actual know how about their fundamental privileges.

and i am surprised to read your statement..!! wake up my friend!

iss main konsi surprise wali baat hai ke altaf ney mana kia aur uskey log khoonkharaby sey baaz agaye.. what's new in it??!! don't you know it all started after mirza's outburst against MQM that means all bloodshed was done by MQM alone.. jab MQM khud kar rahi hai tu MQM ka leader agar mana karta hai aur us ke ghunday baaz aajatay hain tu what's thing of SURPRISE in it??!!

SURPRISE ki tu yeh baat hai ke jab law enforcement agenciyon aur media ko pata bhi hai ke yeh kon karwa raha hai but still they're mum and helpless..

i even didn't see this type of reaction when some news papers nauoozbillah published cartoons of our prophet (s.a.w), i am wondering if they will come in power then what will happen i dont think z.m said any thing wrong media diverted it, he just said muhajirs came here they had nothing sindhi people welcomed them and its true, it doesn't mean he insulted them. muhajirs are reality and our brother but muhajirs hijacked by MQM are trying to divide sindh land now. i personally have seen wall chocking, getting mobile SMS and its obvious who is doing it.

MQM just want to show that they can paralyse the largest city of pakistan in matter of few hours.this party infact does not represent the whole muhajjir community.many urdu speaking people are fed up of its terrorist activities.

we can't blame Zulfiqar mirza alone for violence in karachi because the call for "peaceful" strike was given by MQM and we all witnessed how peaceful it was that atleast 15 people were killed and many got injured.and then on a single call of Altaf bhai normality returned to karachi.This gives message to government that without our(MQM) cooperation it can't maintain peace in karachi.

There is something that can't be easily ignored-the arms supply. The recent discovery proves that the arms used in recent target-killings are said to be made in Islrael!
The Govt.officials know who they are and why they are jeopardizing the life of Karachi-but inspite of that there have been taken no effective measures to deal with it. Karachi,the fact is this,has been always under the fire and greed of selfish so-called poloitical or communal parties of Sindhis,Balochs,Pakhtoons and Mahajars. In such situation, it seems quite difficult to accommodate the govt.writ. The law enforcement agencies, and one of the organs of the government-specially Supereme court need step ahead to tackle this nuisance or there'll be in danger life of innocent Karachians belonging to all communities.
The problem of supply of arms must be tackled tachniquelly and legally under a judicial committee or a committe of reliable and neutral persons of all communities.

Its a step by step process:

1. MQM and ANP both are wrong. But the bigger devil is MQM that just cannot tolerate anybody else in karachi. Until now MQM's role is discussed in hush tones in drawing rooms across Pakistan. Now we must begin to say it out loud in the media. This shouldnt have to be a taboo topic. Journalists or analysts who otherwise scream their hearts out at politicians cow down when it comes to MQM leaders or Altaf Bhai. Buy out the media to become the government's mouth-piece. Use propoganda.

2. Intelligence gathering of their hideouts. their arms stores. their links to external elements.

3. De-weaponization of Karachi. This will be done by an honest check on all entries to the city as well as sea routes (Malik said the weapons in karachi are of Israeli make). Karachi doesnt have indigenous weapons market so the problem isnt internal.

4.. Once de-weaponization measures have been taken and positive results are coming in, then wait and see.

5. Buy out or coerce MQM top leadership. Trust me this isnt too difficult because a back that is used to cushioned sofas cannot tolerate a hard, pine wood bench for long. Tell them to vomit out all details, secrets. Then use them.

The above will break MQM's Street power that has made them so powerful.

7. Break its political power by systematic de-limitation of constituencies. This measure is guaranteed by the 1973 constitution. This means, for instance, that if MQM's strongholds in karachi are Nazimabad, Fed B Area and Korangi, re-merge these areas with those that are PPP's or ANP's (this btw, will also check other parties). The new emerging constituencies will break MQM's vote bank (in theory, although in reality we know that thousands of votes are stamped coercively at polling stations in elections). So if the National Assembly has 25 MNA's from MQM today, tomorrow they will only have 12. Under such a situation, it will no longer be able to intimidate the government or form a major chunk of coalition.

8. However, knowing the MQM well, the above measures will bring them out into the streets nevertheless and they will cause disruption to law and order. And when they do that, the government will be justified in.................AN OPERATION FOLLOWING A CALL FOR CURFEW. this is where the army and paramilitary forces will have to take over.

All the above requires political will and courage. And needless to say its not easy and is very dangerous for laymen. But deal with it now, or live to face a bigger, meaner monster later. We need to choose now.

KARACHI’S troubles seem unrelenting and the last thing the city needed at this or any other point was yet another turf war. But all indications are that a new round of warfare is brewing in a metropolis that appears to be at the mercy of armed political activists and criminal gangs enjoying the backing of forces that offer sanctuary to people who can do their bidding. Clashes on Friday between supporters of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement and those of the breakaway Mohajir Qaumi Movement-Haqiqi faction led by the imprisoned Afaq Ahmed claimed several lives in Karachi’s District East, and the violence subsequently spread to other parts of the city. After years of ethnic and sectarian strife, terrible as they were and continue to be, are we now seeing a return to the unspeakable days of the early 1990s? If so, who is fanning the flames now? Were a band of diehard Haqiqi activists given the green signal, as they were in the ’90s, to assert themselves again? Are some quarters letting unpredictable allies know that they should play by the rules because other options are also on the table? This time round, the situation is multidimensional with more actors in the fray. And is there an element here of embracing the enemy of your enemies as a friend? These are only a sampling of the many questions that need to be answered by the political forces that consider themselves to be ‘stakeholders’ in the way Karachi is run.

All this is happening even as President Asif Ali Zardari is ostensibly engaged in hectic efforts to restore law and order in Karachi. True, that is a task most would struggle to bring to a desirable conclusion. Still, his presence in the city and talks with parties that are at loggerheads with each other seem to be bearing little fruit. After the ceaseless violence of late between Altaf Hussain’s MQM and the Awami National Party, a new ingredient that had become more or less redundant over the last decade or so has suddenly been thrown into the mix. Many will question the timing of this most recent deadly upsurge in violence that bodes only ill for the city.

Anyone who believes that a balance of terror can be struck in Karachi is not paying heed to the reality on the ground. There are too many guns in this city and too many people who have been led to believe since their teenage years that opponents deserve to die. A new front has been opened and it needs to be closed. Urgent remedial action is needed.
