 THOUGHT PROVOKING LECTURE BY ALTAF HUSSAIN BHAI TO WORKERS OF MQM. Our movement is an ideological Movement; our struggle is for the collective good and to bring about a positive change in the country. If we are to challenge the medieval feudal system then we must strengthen our ideological base and adopt a positive attitude. Every member must become a walking image of civilised and cultured manner; our way of talking should create a positive impact on everyone. We must always remember the basic aim of joining the Movement? What is the mission and cause of our Movement? When one puts the collective aims aside and give their personal interests priority then he or she slowly but surely moves away from the ideology. They become ideologically weak and in difficult times they quickly change their loyalties and leave the Movement to safeguard their personal interests. When on 19 June 1992 an army operation was launched against our Movement then those who were in the race of personal interests, changed their loyalties – however, the ideologically strong workers remained steadfast, faced the hardship and difficult times, were incarcerated, went into hiding and even did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the Movement. To achieve the goals of the Movement it is essential that all the members of the Movement must be ideologically strong, keep improving their character and actions, acquire knowledge, follow the organisational policies and rules of discipline, carry out self-accountability instead of pointing the finger at others. Our Movement and struggle is for the right of common people and humanity. This is not for personal interests but for collective goals. If we give priority to personal interests over collective goals then we cannot remain steadfast in testing times. Therefore, all the members of the Movement should be ideologically strong and be prepared to improve their character and etiquettes so as to further the message of the Movement and bring about positive change in the current medieval system of the country.

 The threat of Talibanisation is on the rise in Karachi and Mutahidda Qaumi Movement (MQM) activists must remain ‘mentally and physically vigilant’ to face the threat, MQM Leader Altaf Hussain said on Sunday. Altaf Hussain said, “We will not bow our heads before Taliban terrorists, rather we will face them. The conspiracy of Talibanisation is on the rise in Karachi and MQM activists should remain mentally and physically prepared to face hard times ahead.” Altaf Hussain was addressing a Workers Convention at Lal Qila Ground, Azizabad. During his telephone address, the MQM leader said that Islam espouses a message of peace and brotherhood and does not support terrorism in any form. On the contrary, the ‘religion of peace’ condemns acts of cruelty and brutality. The MQM leader said: “Terrorists strangle innocent men and women, old and young and burn down female educational institutions in the name of Islam. This is ignorance. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that ‘it is obligatory for every man and woman to get education’.” He urged intellectuals and writers to tell the masses about ‘conspiracies of Talibanisation’. The country is going through a crisis, he said, adding that its sovereignty will be threatened if the ‘menace of Talibanisation’ was not curbed. The MQM has fulfilled it duty by informing people about the impending threat time and again, he said. “The people here [in Pakistan] were Muslims and are Muslims. What kind of Muslims do they [the Taliban] want to make us? Actually, they [the Taliban] want to bring the shariah of the Kalashnikov into force but people will not tolerate such a forced shariah,” Altaf Hussain said. Umme Hassan: He said Karachi was now facing a conspiracy as the Tribal Areas. The recent visit of Umme Hassan was part of an agenda to Talibanise the country’s financial hub, Altaf Hussain said.Umme Hassan visited various religious seminaries of the city and provoked students to launch jihad, he said, noting that after her visit the activities of some extremist elements have increased. He demanded that the president, prime minister, Sindh governor, chief minister and home minister look into the matter and take immediate steps to counter such conspiracies.

 Altaf Hussain lauds CDGK’s efforts to cope with rains
LONDON: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain Wednesday paid tribute to the City Nazim Karachi and the City District Government for taking effective steps for coping with the rain related challenges.
The Haq Parast leadership of City Government took appropriate measures for improvement of the storm water drains and overall sewerage system before the expected rains. This helped avert a crisis like situation faced by the city in the last year’s rains, he added.

 Nazim Karachi Syed Mustafa Kamal has said that if compared to previous years the situation in Karachi was much better this year even after a record 66 millimeter rain. The main roads were in past used to disturb most due to the accumulation of rain water for even 20days which resulted in traffic gridlock for many hours, however, this year municipal workers did not required any pumps or machines to drain out water from main roads and the citizens found the city clean in the morning after heavy showers.
After a detailed visit to various areas of the city on Wednesday the City Nazim said that the water was drained out through the storm water drains installed at all the main roads, flyovers, bridges and underpasses constructed during the last two and half year. He said that “although concerned departments had already finalized all arrangements regarding rains and the preparations were completed much earlier the installation of storm water drainage system played key role in dealing with the situation while the command and control centre was also proved useful where during and after rain situation was monitored in 38km area through video cameras and teams were dispatched immediately to clear traffic jam and rain.
Nazim Karachi said that all the concerned officers and workers including DCO Karachi, MD. KWSB, EDO Municipal Services were remained on roads till 6 am in the morning and the city has been made clean overnight. He said that all credit for this should go to team work which has made this possible.
He further said that the power failure was responsible for the traffic jam at some of the roads and the situation was controlled immediately with the help of community policing which helped traffic police maintain traffic flow.

 List includes PPP, MQM and ANP leaderships
The intelligence and law enforcement agencies have been put on high alert based on the news that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Baitullah Mehsud has prepared a hit list of around 300 high-profile figures, including political leaders.
“Of course this type of information is received from time to time,” said CID Chief DIG Saud Mirza, adding that the country was still under threat. “We are in coordination with all the intelligence agencies.” Source close to an intelligence agency said that it was assumed that the leadership of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Awami National Party (ANP), anti-Taliban Shia, Sunni clerics, personnel from the intelligence and law enforcement agencies, officials from the interior and provincial ministries and journalists could be targeted by the Pakistani Taliban. Their families were also believed to be at risk.
The MQM leadership was also informed by the LEAs when Jundullah members were arrested on charges of attacking the then corps commander of Karachi Lt Gen Ahsan Hayat. During interrogations, these men confessed that they targeted the party’s leadership as its members were perceived as ‘American agents’.

 Mr Altaf Hussain, MQM Founder & Leader, has requested to government to call an all parties conference to discuss the current crises, growing talibanisation, country’s critical situation, economic crises; as it is the need of time. He has appealed to invite all the political and religious parties in this conference. He also appealed to call urgent session of all the chambers of commerce of the country and small investors to discuss the stock market commotion. He expressed these views in an important session at the MQM International Secretariat London attended by Members of MQM Coordination Committee Saleem Shahzad, Muhammad Anwar, Waseem Aftab, Mustafa Azizabadi, Asif Siddiqui, Qasim Ali Raza and Member of Provincial Assembly Sindh Nisar Pahnwar. Mr Hussain said that as a result of the deteriorating situation of the country and the economic and trade crises; not only the stock exchanges are feeling the impact but also industrialists and investors, big or small, are faced with difficulties and compelled to come out on the streets. On the other hand, the situation in tribal areas is fast deteriorating with every passing day. The Taliban Movement has given ultimatum to the ANP Government in NWFP to resign in 5 days or face the consequences. Be it the economic crises, increase in terrorism in tribal areas, every citizen of the country is concerned, however, the government is yet to be seen to be taking strong action. He appealed to the Government that the current scenario and the national unity and integrity demands that an All Parties Conference is called to formulate a clear line of action to address and tackle the growing talibanisation in Pakistan, political and economic crises, closure of industries, inflation, unemployment, load shedding, energy crises and similar issues. All coalition partners and the parties of the Opposition should also be invited and a joint line of action to be formulated with consensus of all. He further advised the Government to call an urgent session of all the stock exchanges of the country and the investors, big or small, to discuss the economic crises and the stock market commotion. Mr Hussain said that Pakistan came into being as a result of enormous sacrifices. The country has already been disintegrated in two and the remainder Pakistan is faced with a critical situation. Therefore, for the sustenance of the remainder of the country, it is the need of time that all the political and religious parties, industrial and traders organisations, social organisations and people from all walks of life to come forward and demonstrate national unity. He reminded that the MQM has already offered its unconditional support to the Government and its defence institutions. He appealed to the citizens of Pakistan not to get despondent and remain united.

 ALTAF HUSSAIN OFFERS UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT TO THE GOVERNMENT AND THE DEFENCE INSTITUTIONS OF THE COUNTRY Country is faced with critical situation; our nuclear assets are at risk Mr Hussain said that he has recently issued repeated statements drawing the attention of the people at the helm of affairs towards danger and deteriorating situation in FATA and tribal areas. He said that he emphasised that if concrete steps are not taken to tackle this situation and the spread of terrorism then it might be too late. He said that all his apprehensions have come true and every citizen is aware that US leaders, military officials and President of Afghanistan have said that if the situation is not controlled then they will no longer do dialogue or share intelligence with Pakistan and have warned that they will carry out unilateral attacks on Pakistani areas used for terrorist attacks on Afghanistan. Mr Hussain said that the Prime Minister himself has acknowledged that tribal areas are harbouring Uzbek, Chechan and other foreign elements who are engaging in warfare with the security forces and committing acts of terrorism. They are beheading captives and throwing the bodies on streets. Addressing the political and religious parties Mr Hussain asked does Islam teaches us to behead Muslim brothers. It is, therefore, essential that the Government should take concrete steps to tackle terrorism or else if the American and NATO forces will attack the tribal areas and the FATA region then it will highly detrimental to the country. Pakistan is already faced with threats at borders, the lawyers community must also rethink whether their priority should be to join the struggle to save the country or continue with the movement for restoration of judges. The PML-N and PPP should also resolve their differences through dialogue and take into confidence all the coalition partners and also the opposition parties with a view to save the country.

 Mr Altaf Hussain, MQM Founder & Leader, while welcoming the ANP for forming defence committees in NWFP against Talibanisation has announced that the people of Sindh will also form “defence committees” to save Karachi from Talibanisation. We Karachiites and people of Sindh reject imposition of baton-wielding and self imposed shariat and Talibanisation of Karachi. MQM will encourage and support the area residents in forming “defence committees”. In unity is victory – with change in our thinking process a lot will change. Mr Hussain reiterated that Sindh is the land of Sufis and Saints and is void of discrimination and Karachi is the capital of Sindh Province. MQM and its leadership have always kept the public well-informed of future threats and apprehensions. Recently in his statements and speeches through newspapers and electronic media he has been warning of the threats, which have come true. Addressing the audience Mr Hussain said that they were called today to attend this hurriedly called session because it was essential to apprise them about the future and that he considered it his national obligation to disclose the facts. He was expressing his views while simultaneously addressing meetings of Defence Clifton Residents Committee and Society Residents Committee. The meetings were also attended by Members of MQM Coordination Committee, Provincial Ministers, Members of National and Provincial Assemblies. Recalling his statements of last couple of weeks with reference to the political scenario, uncertainty, flight of capital, deteriorating economic condition, worsening law and order situation etc Mr Hussain said that billions of dollars of investment and capital is being shifted from Pakistan to abroad. As a result our currency is weakening against dollar by the day. All stock exchange markets of the country including the Karachi Stock Exchange are falling down. Industries including the textile industry are closing down. Inflation is on the all time high and as a result of unemployment, people are compelled to commit suicide or sell their children. Mr Hussain said that soon after the Elections of 18th February 2008, the people of Pakistan took a sigh of relief and hoped that everything will be fine, peace will be established and the law and order situation will improve. Instead kidnapping for ransom, robbery, street crimes have increased manifold as compared to the past. Mr Hussain said that he has been warning of the potential threats at our borders and anything can happen if the government fails to tackle the law and order, control the increasing activities of Talibanisation in tribal areas, control the suicide attacks; and address the issues in FATA, tribal areas, North and South Waziristan. Large number of people including Taliban members from these areas are coming to Karachi and illegally occupying vacant properties and land. This is a well-planned conspiracy to Talibanise Karachi. Mr Hussain asked the audience if they were in favour of Talibanisation of Karachi, want the girls schools and colleges burnt, ban women from employment, ban women from doing business, confine women to homes only, have womenfolk to strictly obey purdah and wear the “shuttle c***style burqah” when they come out? Everyone replied… “No”. Mr Hussain asked the audience are they all prepared and arranged protection for themselves and their properties? They replied… “No”. He commented the angels will not come on earth to protect them. He emphasised that his fears are coming true and the danger has already entered the city. Recently, the Taliban have pasted posters in different parts of the city and warned the truck drivers not to transport fuel to NATO. They have threatened to burn such trucks and behead its driver. He referred to a few news items appearing in today’s national and international newspapers with reference to US warnings to Pakistan to tackle the issue of Talibanisation in the tribal areas and also that US will no longer share intelligence and if Pakistan does not take action then US will be compelled to take action. Mr Hussain said that if the US attacks Pakistan then the influx to Karachi will increase. The city’s outskirts today are surrounded by population and madressahs on illegally encroached lands. We are Muslims and will remain Muslims till our last breath. And, therefore, we reject the imposition Taliban shariat, suicide shariat, baton-wielding shariat or self-imposed version of shariat. The very same people are involved in criminal activities such as kidnapping for ransom, robbery and street crimes. With every passing day these criminals are getting more and more encouraged as no action is being taken against them. The threat of Talibanisation of Karachi is very much present. Mr Hussain assured the audience that MQM being the representative political party is busy in discussions and meetings to find ways and means to tackle this issue but this is not the responsibility of the MQM alone, we must be alert, This is the question of security and safety for our coming generations. We must now without wasting more time establish chawkidari system in our areas and hold community meetings to communicate with each other. Mr Hussain reiterated that Sindh is the land of Sufis and Saints and is void of discrimination and Karachi is the capital of Sindh Province. He stressed on the need to mobilise the permanent settlers of Sindh who live and die in this province and don’t send their remittance elsewhere to stand united to face the challenges ahead. Mr Hussain while welcoming the ANP for forming defence committees in NWFP against Talibanisation has announced that the people of Sindh will also form “defence committee” to save Karachi from Talibanisation. Even before the formation of Taliban we prayed to Allah Almighty, observed fasting in the month of Ramadhan and performed all our religious duties and obligations according to Islamic teachings. Therefore, we Karachiites and people of Sindh reject imposition of baton-wielding and self imposed shariat and Talibanisation of Karachi. MQM will encourage and support the area residents in forming “defence committees”. He appealed to all the Haq Parast elected representatives including the Members of National Assembly, Members of Provincial Assembly, Town Nazims etc to coordinate with residents and make regular visits to hold meetings. In unity is victory – with change in our thinking process a lot will change.

He also appealed to all the political and religious parties not to engage in confrontation as the country is faced with a critical situation which demands that all issues must be resolved through honourable and meaningful dialogue and negotiations. Mr Hussain specially appealed to the leaders of the coalition partners, i.e. PPP, MQM and ANP, to make a united concerted effort to prevent the influx of religious extremists and fanatics to Karachi and formulate a line of action so that any terrorist activity or incident is not turned into ethnic or linguistic riots. He said that this is very important that all coalition partners should proactively discourage the spread of ethnic hatred and prevent ethnic or linguistic riots. Mr Hussain instructed the MQM Coordination Committee to refrain from reacting to provocative statements as the MQM does not want confrontation with anyone. Having ideological and political differences is part of democracy but to flare up such differences is not in the interest of the country. He advised the MQM leaders and workers to observe restraint and remain calm and committed.

 After the creation of Pakistan on 14 August 1947. First mohajir Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan was shot a dead on 16th October 1951, when he was addressing a public meeting in Rawalpindy.
Pakistan came into existence on 1947. Millions of innocent lives were lost. Muslims were the worst sufferers and gave the most sacrifices. Pakistan was created in the name of Islam and the movement was fully supported by the committed people. But they could never imagine even in their wildest dreams what was in store for them.
The feudal class through sinister international conspiracy managed to take over the control with the consent of their Royal Masters. No doubt, the control was given and handed over to them after assurances and commitment of loyalty. The objective was also to divide, isolate and punish those who supported the creation of Pakistan and offered sacrifices.
The patriotic leaders and freedom fighters including Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan and Fatima Jinnah, sister of the Founder of The Nation, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, were systematically eliminated. Those who migrated in millions from India were treated as aliens and deprived of their fundamental rights. They were labeled Mohajirs (refugees) instead of being accepted as Pakistanis. The evil forces of the two percent feudal or privileged class who managed to infiltrate and control all sectors of the government—bureaucracy, establishment and the armed forces.
With the increasing power of the military over the State apparatus, the community found its pre-eminent position being increasingly usurped by the Punjabi dominated military-bureaucratic formation that effectively ruled Pakistan since Gen. Ayub’s coup in 1958.
The official discrimination against Mohajir’s began in 1958 when Muhammad Ayub Khan seized the presidency of Pakistan in a military coup. Ayub Kahn systematically eliminated Mohajirs from important positions in the civil service, bureaucracy and local government. Subsequent administration of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of nationalizing Mohajir businesses, unfairly taxing them.
A study of the Five Decades and the period from 1947-2005 would reveal the truth and expose the dirty faces and tricks. The system and society was systematically and deliberately corrupted and institutions destroyed. People, belonging to the 98 percent of the lower and middle class population, were rendered helpless and hopeless. The situation turned from bad to worse for them, while the evil genius creeps of the feudal mafia flourished through loot, plunder, corruption and cruelties of the worst kind.
The people then turned towards the religious groups in the hope of justice and fair play but again were betrayed and badly disappointed. Most of the religious groups with sinister political motives acted as organ of the corrupt feudal lobby and exploited, used and abused the people in the name of God. While the people were starving and dying due to deprivation and exploitation, the religious leaders became fatter, richer and powerful.
Because of their defective and deceptive policies, the country once again is being led towards disaster and disintegration. They are preparing grounds for their masters to harm the country and the people. Once again the slogan of Islam and God is being used to dupe the people. Thousands of innocent and patriotic people were lured and trapped in the deception and lost their lives.
In 1971, the feudal and capitalist classes in order to protect their vested interests decided to get rid of East Pakistan and the Bengalis, who were elected by the people and deserved to rule the country. The opposition parties denied the majority party power. The Bengalis became a sore in the eyes of the corrupt and cruel evil feudal class. The international conspiracy resulted in break-up of Pakistan and over 90,000 prisoners of wars. Hundreds of thousands lives were lost.
Since it was a conspiracy therefore there was no point of learning a lesson. The nation was deliberately kept in the dark and entangled in problems and massive corruption. Image of the reputed and brave armed forces of Pakistan, after break-up of the country, was further tarnished badly. Instead of the enemy they were used to conquer and crush the helpless and innocent people through large-scale military operations. Rift between the armed forces and the people was cunningly created. Those who judged the sinister motives and bad intentions of the corrupt and cruel feudal creeps, raised their voices and wanted to create awareness and awakening were declared traitors and terrorists.
After Bengalis, the next target of the powerful feudal mafia was the Urdu-speaking Mohajirs. Quota system was introduced to keep them away from jobs and competitions. Treacherous, illiterate and incompetent people were promoted and given important positions and responsibilities. These were products of the quota system.
The first assertions of a distinct ethnic identity were made by (All Pakistan mohajir Student Organization) APMSO on 11June 1978 at Karachi University Founded by Altaf Hussain. APMSO was formed to safeguard the interests of the Mohajir students.
In the begging of APMSO Quaid-e-Tehrik worked with him self to distribute the hand bills in Karachi University place the table for welcoming new students. For the expenditures he gave tuitions to generate fund. Due to the popularity of APMSO, JI (jamat-e-Islami Talba Group) starts attacks, kidnappings and torturing Altaf Hussain and workers of APMSO and stop to entering APMSO’s student in Karachi University on 3rd February 1981. There is a greater demanded from middle class of Pakistan on 18th March 1984 APMSO gave birth to Mohajir Quami Movement (MQM) as a political party of lower middle class who represent 98% population of Pakistan. First time in history of Pakistan poor and lower middle class peoples on the platform of MQM elected for Parliament, National and Provincial assemblies of Pakistan. This created chill in the spine of the feudal mafia and which again started hatching conspiracies.
Peoples viewing Revolution under the Leadership of Quaid-e-Tehrik Altaf Hussain. On 21st December 1991some govt. agencies hire peoples to killed Quaid-e-Tehrik. 2% peoples who represent feudral lords of Pakistan don’t like revolution in peoples of Pakistan because they don’t want to believe on democracy in Pakistan. After the several attempts of murder on Quaid-e-Tehrik the party workers, central co-ordination committees and other senior members of MQM requested to leave the country to save the Ideology of MQM and the life of Quaid-Tehrik. The great pressure of die-hard workers on 1st January 1992 Quaid flew to Saudi Arab to perform Umra and their after London UK.
After starting of Army operation till now he had been exile from his beloved country Pakistan.
Exact after 6th months on 19 June 1992 Pakistan Army starts Operation in Sindh against party workers and the Leadership of MQM. The ISI and MI played a prominent role in this operation. In the initial stages the operation was confined to flushing out the dacoits in interior Sindh, but there was a major shift in the operation after June 19, 1992 when the army came out in support of the Haqiqi leaders, and the group led by Afaq and Aamir managed to enter and gain control of Landhi, Korangi, and the Liaquatabad areas of Karachi.
During these operation govt. agencies launches propaganda of false allegations of murders and field false cases against leadership and workers of MQM they also raids and arrest workers to demoralize the moral of thousands of die-hard MQM supporters and the hope of middle class educated peoples of Pakistan. Due to this Army Operation most of the party workers and leaders of MQM are in hiding or killed by agencies. During this operation agencies start extra Judi ional killings of arrested innocent workers and supporters of MQM.
The urban areas where the Mohajirs are in majority were deliberately ignored and turned into hell for them. Thousands were hunted and killed mercilessly in fake police encounters, raids, police lock-ups, and army and ranger operations. Muttahida Quami Movement alone claims that about 18,000 MQM activists have been killed. Hundreds still are missing and presumed dead.
Millions of Mohajirs are jobless and helpless as a result of the conspiracy against them. Deprivation and frustration have made them sick and tired. They were compelled to become defensive and aggressive which gave excuses to the corrupt feudal mafia to declare even the most innocent ones including women, children and elderly as terrorists and traitors.
Despite all the setbacks, hardships, cruelties, killings, atrocities, Mohajirs remain determined to free Pakistan and the people, of all the provinces and places, from the clutches and control of the powerful and cunning feudal mafia. Again, the price is very high but with no choice.
This Army operation doesn’t effect on Quaid-e-Tehrik and MQM popularity in lower middle class even more peoples comes and join it and support’s MQM.
In February 1997 elections MQM again holds more better position break all records due to popularity among middle class.
Peoples think that MQM is the only political party in Pakistan who gives equal rights to citizens of Pakistan. MQM had waged a war against the corrupt elements, feudal system and exploitative forces which had deprived the middle-class of its rights since the last 50 years. The MQM would not only work for the rights of Mohajirs but would also fight for the rights of middle-class Sindhis, Balochis and Pakhtoons.
On 25th July 1997 MQM held a meeting at Khurshid Begum Memorial Hall Karachi which was attended by all Important MQM workers and members all over Pakistan.
In this meeting members presented a resolution called “Qarardad-e-Itehad “which is accepted and passed by all members and workers of MQM at the same day in Evening Quaid-e-Tehrik approved the resolution to change the name of Mohajir Quami Movement to Muttahida Quami Movement in the greatest interest of Pakistan and their rights of middle class.
On 27th of July1997 Quaid -e- Tehrik address on first telephonic speech of Muttahida Quami Movement which is attended by large public gathering of all national communities of Pakistan at Jinnah Ground Azizabad, Karachi, and announced a transformation of Mohajir Quami Movement to Muttahida Quami movement.
Still, the feudal mafia is busy hatching conspiracies against Pakistan, people and the MQM because this is the only movement, which is acting practically and openly against them. In 1971, the evil genius creeps of feudal class harmed Pakistan, humiliated the armed forces and betrayed the people. The feudal mafia can stoop to any lows and do anything to promote and protect their vested interests.
As regards Pakistan and the people, they d***care. Their characteristic is that they pose as loyal but their intentions are very bad. Their approach is always negative and destructive. If Pakistan is harmed, it will be because of them and not others. They are the real traitors and terrorists and cannot be trusted
Since 1947 and till now numerous attempts have been made and no opportunity lost to wipe out Pakistan from the map of the earth.
Quaid-e-Tehrik Mr. Altaf Hussain founder and leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) who are trying to steer Pakistan out of the troubled waters and ready to offer any sacrifice for its protection, progress and prosperity. Such honest, trusted and committed people need to be promoted, elected and given opportunity to serve in the real sense. Awareness and awakening is needed so that people could select the right representatives and support them without fear and greed.
On the other hand, we must remain alert against forces that have harmed both the people and the country. Mistakes must not be repeated. They must not be elected, selected or allowed to dupe the people or loot the nation. Leaders should be treated as representatives and not worshipped like saints, idols or god. Most leaders belong to the feudal lobby and are enjoying this status. The activists, voters and supporters fear them terribly, even more than The Almighty, and avoid taking their names `as a mark of respect’.

At least eight policemen have been killed and more than 20 people injured in a suicide bomb attack in Pakistan's capital Islamabad, officials say.
The blast occurred in front of a police station near the city's Melody Market.
It came on the first anniversary of the bloody ending of a siege at the city's Red Mosque, in which more than 100 people were killed during fighting.
President Pervez Musharraf condemned the attack and reiterated the government's commitment to root out terrorism in "all its forms and manifestations".
There are conflicting reports regarding the death toll, with some officials saying as many as 15 policemen may have been killed in the blast.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik said the death toll may yet rise from eight killed.
"It might change because at the moment [the victims] are in hospital, some are critical and all the possible medical aid is being provided."
Security had been tight because of fears of an attack at a rally near the mosque, which is also known as Lal Masjid, where several thousand Islamists had gathered to mark the anniversary.
"The blast happened 15 minutes after the meeting dispersed. A heavy contingent of police was at a main crossing several hundred metres from the mosque and they were targeted in the attack," a senior security official told the AFP news agency.
The bomber managed to conceal explosives under his clothes and get into the secure area, said Mr Malik.
"And from... the outer cordon [of security], where the police force was, there were about 25 officials there, and while people were walking, one of the guys just rushed and blew his suicide jacket," he added.
Blood and body parts covered the streets of this residential neighbourhood as terrified people came running out of their houses,In Islamabad.

 KARACHI, June 25: Handbills and pamphlets threatening truck drivers and warning them against supplying oil and goods to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) troops in Afghanistan are being distributed by the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan in Shireen Jinnah Colony and the Mauripur truck stand, Dawn has learnt.
Truckers of Shireen Jinnah Colony said that such handbills, which threaten dire consequences if the directives are not followed, were distributed and pasted at the entrance of Kauser Masjid, the area’s main mosque, a few weeks ago.
A contractor associated with oil supplies from Shireen Jinnah Colony guided this reporter to the mosque where the pamphlets are pasted, but fear led him to keep a considerable distance from the mosque. “I cannot afford to be seen with you in this area,” he explained before walking away. “These threats have affected our work and supplies to Afghanistan have dropped to some extent. Not everyone is willing to go ahead with such a risky trip now.”
According to this source, no one has so far informed the police or any other authority about the threats. Upon the condition of anonymity, an office-bearer of the Karachi Goods Transport Association confirmed the distribution of threatening handbills by the Tehreek-i-Taliban in the Mauripur truck stand area. He added that such intimidation tactics have been used in Bannu and D.I. Khan for well over a year, and there have been incidents of containers being looted and hijacked.
Chilling threats
A copy of the pamphlet was obtained by Dawn and translated from Urdu, it states: “All the owners of trucks and trailers, drivers and truck stand owners, are warned that all supplies to Nato, the International Security Force and US forces should be stopped within a week’s time.
“After the deadline, if any truck or trawler is caught supplying diesel, petrol or goods, not only will the vehicle be set on fire but the driver will also be brutally slaughtered. These attacks will be carried out starting from Karachi to Peshawar, Chaman, Kandahar and Bagram until such time that the supply line of the Christian [sic] army is severed.
“Therefore, all drivers are advised not to destroy their life in the hereafter and refrain from helping the infidels […]
“Don’t you know that the very diesel, petrol and other goods being supplied to the warring coalition forces are being used to bomb Muslim children and women? […] Thus, are you not equally responsible in this massacre?
“Today the Christian forces are being supplied all kinds of goods by conscience-less and irreligious transporters and drivers like you.
“So don’t the Taliban deserve the right to slaughter non-believers like you?
“[…] After the deadline, all the drivers who have not stopped supplying goods to the Christian forces will be made into an example to others.”
At the end, the pamphlet singles out the Afridi and Shinwari tribes and warns them against helping “infidels” take over Afghanistan.
Another source associated with oil supplies told Dawn that a private concern, which has a high stake in supplying oil to Nato forces in Afghanistan, had been receiving such warnings from the Tehreek-i-Taliban for many months. The concern did not take the threats seriously, and a group member’s younger brother was kidnapped by unknown persons recently and remains untraced.

Conspiracies are being hatched for forcible and unlawful occupation of Karachi through Talibanisation and Sectarian violence – Altaf Hussain
Mr Altaf Hussain, founder and leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) said that a conspiracy is being hatched with organised and sustained planning for occupation of Karachi by Talibans and organise sectarian violence. He expressed these views during his telephonic address to the Members of the Defence Clifton, North Nazimabad and Gulshan-e-Iqbal Residents Committees in Karachi simultaneously from London. He said that under planned and sustained conspiracy truck-loads of migrants from tribal areas are being settled in Karachi under the patronage of a few strong elements of the agencies that are organising forcible and illegal occupation of the empty plots of land in Karachi by dispersing these migrants in different areas of Karachi.
Mr Altaf Hussain said that for the past one week the religious extremists migrating to Karachi have practically engaged in the implementation of conspiracies for Talibanising Karachi and foster sectarian violence that is manifested by their extremists and violent slogans chalked on the walls of different localities in Karachi around Asma Gardens in Scheme 33 and the walls of flats, shops and parks around Gulshan View Apartments and other parts of city stating: “ If you wish to live in Karachi then you have to live like Talibans”, “if you have to live in Karachi then you have to live like Jihadis”, “if you wish to live in Karachi then you have to swear allegiance to Bait-ullah Mehsud” and also a regretful slogans to commit sectarian violence has been chalked stating: “Khomeini Dog, Khomeini infidel and those not acknowledging is also infidel”.
Mr Altaf Hussain said that it is apparent that on the one hand the religious extremis Talibans are planning to forcibly and illegally occupy Karachi while on the other the wish to destroy the peace and tranquillity of the city by committing sectarian violence. He said that MQM is the only party obstructing Talibanisation and Sectarian related violence in Karachi and MQM would continue to raise its voice against ulterior designs of Talibanisation and Sectarianism in future also. On one occasion Mr Altaf Hussain asked the participants whether they wanted Talibanisation in Karachi? The participants unequivocally replied “Never”. He unambiguously said that the MQM does not wish to have any confrontation or conflict with anyone but it would not permit anyone to attack us in our own localities and destroy peace of the city through terrorism.
Mr Altaf Hussain said that it is the crisis of sustainability of our coming generations and each and every citizen has to demonstrate awakening on this sensitive issue and taking serious notice of the situation, they have to unite. He stressed on the participants to keep an eye on the situation of Sindh and particularly of Karachi and keep people aware to play their roles for defeating this occupation.

A marathon emergency meeting of the Central Co-ordination Committee of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) was held in London in which the Members of Karachi Central Co-ordination Committee, Karachi Tanzimi Committee present in London and Members of the International Secretariat participated. The Members expressed their deep concerns over settling the Jihadi extremists from all over the country in Karachi through deliberate and sustained emigrational process and their escalating anti-peace and nefarious activities. In a statement released after the meeting, the Members of the Co-ordination Committee said that the province of Sindh is the land of “Sufis” and peace-loving people who believe in religious tolerance, sectarian harmony, brotherhood and unity while a conspiracy of Talibanising Karachi by settling the Jihadi extremists in Karachi is being hatched. The statement said that the settlement of Jihadi extremists is being carried out under the patronage on certain elements of the agencies of the Establishment. They further elaborated that these elements are not only illegally occupying lands in different localities of Karachi but also resorting to loot and plunder, robberies, theft, kidnapping for ransom and extortion. The statement further said that while committing above mentioned crimes they are also writing slogans on the walls inciting sectarian hatred and intimidation that manifests their future ulterior motives. The statement cited a few glaring examples of those slogans openly chalked on the walls of the flats, houses and parks situated at Asma Gardens in Housing Scheme 33, Gulshan View Apartments, Noman Arcade and its nearby flats and parks stated: “If you wish to live in Karachi then you have to say Jeay Taliban”, “If you wish to live in Karachi then you have to live like Talibans”, “if you wish to live in Karachi then you have to live like Jihadis”, If you wish to live in Karachi then you have to say yes to Baitullah Mehsud” and with profound and deep regrets we have to cite this horrible slogans written by these religious extremists elements that says: “Khomeini Dog, Khomeini Infidel and those who do not acknowledge are also infidels”.
The Members of the Central Co-ordination Committee said that people of Karachi are extremely concerned over this dangerous and crucial situation and said that they have no conflicts with the elements belonging to different religious extremists groups. The statement further said if these elements are facing problems in their own areas then we can establish shelter and camps for their refuge in Karachi and would also provide them help and basic amenities but the people of Sindh and Karachi will never permit to illegally occupy the land of Karachi, the capital of Sindh province and destroy its peace. The statement said that they ask the peaceful people of Sindh including Karachi to remain beware, keep their eyes open and keep unity in their rank and file and make each and single person aware of the conspiracy of Talibanisation of Sindh particularly Karachi. The Members of the Central Co-ordination Committee demanded of the Government to take stern action against the elements illegally occupying lands in Karachi, committing loot and plunder, robberies, extortion and kidnapping for ransom and the extremists elements Talibanising Karachi and other contemptuous elements.

 OPERATION "June 1992" Karachi It was sixteen years earlier on the ill-fated day of June 19, 1992 that Karachi experienced one the worst moments in its existence. The people of Karachi became victims of a targeted semi-genocidal operation developed by various agencies which were later found to have undeniable and strong links with the Government at that time. MQM’s existence has forever been a threat to the power players of Pakistan who fear that if the movement’s ideology took hold in the country, it would diminish their psychological hold on the public. As MQM started to evolve, these power players strategized to break up the party; they presented the MQM’s leadership with lucrative offers in a bid to buy them out but they could not succeed, because the strength of MQM has forever been the passion and dedication of its workers and their belief in the ideology. Failing to break up the movement, what conspired was the chaos of June 19, 1992; when these innocent people were slaughtered, their only crime was that they supported the movement. June 19 is acknowledged as the “Black Day” in Karachi’s history, representative of the destruction that the citizens witnessed. The agencies advantageously collaborated with the Haqiqi group whose members were originally a part of MQM but were disowned due to their involvement in terrorism and other illegal activities. The Haqiqis had a score to settle with MQM and had strong financial backing. They also had the license to kill. “Operation 92” as it’s titled was targeted to kill MQM supporters but resulted in a massacre of the citizens of Karachi. Such an operation was the first of its kind that experienced covert terrorism unchecked by the government and the police force. Premeditated activities were advised to these terrorists that included brutal rape and murder of women, torture of men, and the elderly, looting of houses, hostage, and family threats all for the sake of punishing them for their beliefs. It has been 16 years since that episode and still the effect lingers, the victims and their families have not been able to stabilize themselves. While the political parties and their leaders demand enquiries for every incident that happens in the country no one has questioned the event of June 19, 1992 in Karachi. MQM takes up this matter every time a new government comes into power but still the questions remain unanswered, intentionally. While the movement cannot bring back the innocence that the victims’ lives have lost, it realizes that its voice is stronger and is heard by everyone due to the people who stood up for the movement on June 19th. MQM honors those martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the cause of MQM; our cause is the cause of every single person out there.
