Since our independence we had numerous Martial Laws which played crucial role in destroying our country, Leaders were assassinated which brought instability. Numerous Elections or number of Prime Ministers were handpicked which made us a laughing stock in the world. Numerous Political Parties were established confusing the masses and resulting in bigger mess on the national level. One Political party takes the country to a War (PML Q), One party takes the country to a Financial collapse (PPP) one party brings Blood Shed in the country (MQM), one party wants to excel in looting the wealth of our people (PML N) and then there is another party which wants to correct all those mistakes. That is (PTI) but no one gives them a chance as votes are rigged, bought and elections won on cast and race.
MQM is the main topic for this Article. This political party was founded by Altaf Hussein in 1984. Their Head Office is in Karachi but seems to me that it has been moved to England for several reasons. MQM was formed by our establishments to break the stronghold of PPP in Sindh (One of the Province of Pakistan). In the beginning Mr. Altaf Hussein made a strong impression on the students and people in Karachi by calling himself and other people living in Karachi a Mahajar (An Immigrant). Everyone should have known or realized then that this particular person doesn't want to be a part of Pakistan or will be trouble in the future as Mr. Hussein is a fan of violence. Since it served the purpose of breaking PPP vote bank in Sindh, the Army was more than happy to let them grow their reign of terror. He created MQM to be seen and known as a Political Party but it in fact was more like a Gangster party. Since they got hold in Karachi and Hyderabad they started to make their reputation known. Extortion, Looting, Kidnapping for Ransoms and Murders are a trademark of MQM. Benazir Bhutto the Prime Minister at that time realized that Karachi has to be cleaned that meant MQM days were numbered. Many MQM workers were killed by Pakistan Army and Altaf Hussein ran away from Pakistan to England where he got his British Nationality afterwards. Mr. Hussein started his life on party funds collected by the means of terror in Karachi. He ran the show from UK, directing party policy, executing the reign of terror against the people of Karachi. It is amazing how people listen to Altaf Hussein's speeches; I have never seen such a funny politician in my life. I have seen dumb politician but not a clown. He is an embarrassment to all as a leader, as a person, as a politician and as a speaker. He is a great actor; he should have been in Pakistani Movies. I sometimes cannot differentiate that MQM a political party or a Clown party. Seems like agencies do like him a lot that is why he is still alive and acting like a Joker.
Altaf Hussein should be prosecuted for the murders of hundreds of Innocent people. May 12th incident is one of the examples of his ruthless killing machine and brutality. He never threatens anyone in public; he got his workers for it. He is a bigger threat to Pakistan then anyone right now. You can make peace with Taliban again but you cannot make peace with Altaf Hussein. Pakistani government should terminate his Pakistani passport. It makes me sad when I see people of Karachi suffering but they have a light of hope coming to them soon in the shape of Imran Khan. His party (PTI) will bring them happiness and will bring life back in Karachi. Karachi will be once again the city of life.
