Why There Still Is Peace in Karachi? Asks Altaf Hussain

By Salman Mugsi • May 30th, 2013 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

The real ’sher’ of Karachi is PTI and its local leadership. Imran Khan has also taken a solid and sound stance against the symbol of fear and coercion in Karachi, the MQM. This party single-handedly has sent MQM packing from Karachi and in their panic they are running hither and thither  like frightened mice.
Foundations of [...]



New Jobs for MQM Old and Ousted Members

By Salman Mugsi • May 27th, 2013 • Category: Politics

When Altaf Hussain talks about his ‘fikri’ and ‘ilmi’ sittings with the MQM workers and Mustafa Azizabadi tweets about the ‘lectures’ of Altaf Hussain, I really want to reach out for my “pisstoal”. Anyway, the recent upheaval in the MQM ranks reeks of something really gone stale and as the old blood has been brought [...]



Altaf Hussain Has Become a Burden for MQM

By Maria Sultan • May 20th, 2013 • Category: Features

Had Altaf Hussain not given the anti-Pakistan statement of separating Karachi from the country, it would have been lot easier for the local MQM leadership to portray themselves as victim in NA-250 election war. That statement from the London-based MQM chief has created anger wave against the whole MQM throughout Pakistan, and  now MQM is [...]



Please Support PTI to Throw MQM in Arabian Sea

By Salman Mugsi • May 19th, 2013 • Category: Politics

I am also huge critic of Imran Khan and PTI, but for this only time lets join hands as this is the golden opportunity to liberate the Karachi and its people. If we loose this chance, then it would be darkness in the future. For decades and decades, we are living under the umbrella of [...]



Don’t Push MQM to Wall

By Tabish Siddiqui • May 19th, 2013 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

If a wealthy DHA aunty is gunned down, the whole media and DHA goes crazy, but if hundreds of MQM workers and candidates are assassinated during the election campaign and before that, nobody utters a squeal. It is this differentiation which forces the loyal and patriotic leaders like like Akhtar Mengal, Bugti, and Altaf Bhai [...]

Scotland Yard has signaled that at last its’ reaching to the final conclusions in the wake of Dr. Imran’s assassination in front of his house. The leader of MQM, who was all set to defect from MQM and join Pervaiz Musharraf was allegedly killed on direct orders of Altaf Hussain in London.

Trial of Jinnah’s Grave

By Salman Mugsi • Jan 12th, 2013 • Category: Politics

Blindly following the leaders is the trend which has hampered true democracy in Pakistan among some of other reasons. Followers of every party - yes they are the followers and not workers - just do whatever their respective saints say.
In the dirty politics of Pakistan, where everyone has his or her hands of full of [...]



Spineless Pakistani media!!

By Wajid Ali Khan • Jan 12th, 2013 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

Pakistani media played on the tunes of Altaf Hussain in his recent address to his supporters in Karachi. Major networks in Pakistan showed uninterrupted coverage of his speech for more than an hour. A common practice by the networks, whenever the  leader of MQM speaks, the party having controlling stakes in Karachi, the port city [...]



Jinnah, Altaf Hussain, and Qadri — All Foreginers?

By Zeenat Rehman • Jan 11th, 2013 • Category: Lead Story, Politics, Worth A Second Look

I am wondering as why at this point in time in Pakistan’s history, the chief of MQM Altaf Hussain deemed it appropriate to disclose his views about the founder of Pakistan, Qauid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in front of a huge public gathering.
When Altaf Hussain created his own faction of MQM, he asked his workers to [...]



Altaf Postpones Drone Attack; Real Reason Leaked

By Salman Mugsi • Jan 8th, 2013 • Category: Politics

I am sure that most of you don’t take the chief terrorist of Karachi, the British National. Altaf Hussain, but for the heck of it, let’s follow this man’s theatrics. He had given 72 hours of deadline before the launch of Drone attack, and media went berserk.
Now just imagine, what don of Karachi from London [...]
