Just right after Zardari’s last visit to France wherein he was badly criticized by the Media to counter this visit Jiyala & Co. Raised the Campaign that Pakistan has remarkably achieved the Atomic Energy Agreement as likewise the same is existing between India & America.
I still remember the statements of the followings are on record to defend the Zardari’s Meeting with Sarkozy the French Pres. at Paris.

Also in the program, General Naseer AKHTAR that time core commander who initiated KJarachi operation admitted that that operation was not for mqm.
@Areeza,
So, the speech of Altaf a few years ago in India was also a drama where he labeled the creation of Pakistan the biggest tragedy? When will you blind followers start to ask these questions?

I agree with Areeza that the news that Jinahpur maps were discovered back in 1992 was a drama, should be made a headline topic for discussion.

@Amir Hameed
Headline selection is really strange. We had the Ch. Nisar..headline but not this. To me it all seems related. Suddenly PML-N and MQM start firing at each other and fake Jinahpur news comes out.
On a related note. Now NS claiming that 92 operation was done without his permission. What the hell? He was the Prime Minister of PAKISTAN not PUNJAB.
Kargil done without his knowledege..92 operation done without his permission.
Was Qarz Utaro Mulk Sanwar and Dollar Freeze also done without his knowledge…bhola !!

@runaway,
I believe that this topic is important enough to be debated. I am NOT a supporter of MQM, never have been. I have lived in KHI long enough to know what MQM is all about. This party’s leadership is mostly comprised of terrorists. I am NOT a supporter of NS either because I believe that he failed to deliver twice, especially when he had 2/3rd majority, which to me speaks volumes regarding his leadership qualities. The way he and SS have sidelined a diehard party worker like Javed Hashmi is deplorable. I was a big supporter of IK but his stance on Talibans has disappointed me; but I still give him a credit that at least he has a stance, whether we like it or not, as opposed to PPP, PML-N, PML-Q, MQM, JUI, etc.
CANADA COURT DECLARES MQM A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION
Judge Orders Deportation of Pakistani Party Chief
By Stewart Bell
Canada, 18 July 2007 (National Post): The head of the Quebec branch of
a Pakistani political party is facing deportation after the Federal
Court of Canada ruled he belonged to an organization [Muttahida Quami
Movement (MQM) led by London, UK-based Criminal Terrorist Altaf
Hussain] that committed terrorism.
The judge upheld the deportation of Mohammed Kashif Omer, a resident
of Montreal, on the grounds he is a member of the Muttahida Quami
Movement or MQM. [The MQM terrorist party is based in Karachi,
Pakistan. MQM is a crime partner of Pakistan Muslim League (PML-Q),
another terrorist party based in Pakistan. Criminal Terrorist Shaukat
Aziz is the head of PML-Q. Criminal Terrorist Tyrant Pervez Musharraf,
a mass murderer of thousands of innocent citizens of Pakistan and
Afghanistan, is the President of both the MQM Mafia and the PML-Q
Mafia].
It is the second time this year Canadian courts have ruled the MQM
party meets the legal definition of a terrorist organization.
Mr. Omer is one of dozens of Pakistanis whom Canadian immigration
authorities are trying to deport because of their involvement in the
MQM.
Despite being blamed for the kidnapping, torture and murder of its
political rivals in Pakistan, the MQM has opened a Canadian branch
called MQM-Canada.
Members of the group have worked on Conservative election campaigns,
met [Canadian] Prime Minister Stephen Harper and recently hosted a
[MQM] conference in Calgary [Canada].
Conservative MP Art Hanger spoke at the June 8-10 MQM-Canada
convention, which was attended by several Pakistanis who are being
deported for their alleged involvement in terrorism. Mr. Hanger said
he did not support the [MQM] group. Conservative MLA Shiraz Shariff
also attended. He said yesterday he was unaware Canadian courts had
deemed the MQM a terrorist organization. “Why are we as a nation then
allowing them to have a congregation here?” he said.
Among the speakers at the convention was Mr. Omer, who presented a
report on the “achievements and future strategy” of the Montreal
office of MQM, according to the [MQM] group’s Web Site.
Mr. Omer has no immigration status in Canada. A Canada Border Services
Agency spokesman, Erik Paradis, said the court ruling means that the
deportation order against Mr. Omer is now in effect.
The MQM is a Pakistani political party that is part of
[unconstitutional, illegal, self-appointed] President Pervez
Musharraf’s ruling coalition. The Canadian MQM branch has never been
accused of illegal activities but in Pakistan the party has been
blamed for widespread violence, most recently in May [2007] when
gunfights between the MQM and anti-government demonstrators left more
than 40 dead.
MQM officials deny any role in attacks and say they are victims of
misinformation spread by Pakistani authorities. Canada’s Security
Intelligence Review Committee has been looking into complaints from
MQM members that immigration authorities have unfairly branded them as
terrorists.
Mr. Omer came to Canada in 1998 and was granted refugee status but in
2005 immigration officials said he could not remain in Canada “because
he knowingly and for a long period of time belonged to an organization
that has engaged in terrorism.”
In Pakistan, Mr. Omer had been a member of the MQM and its student
wing from 1987 to 1998. He denied any involvement with the MQM in
Canada but eventually acknowledged he was in charge of the MQM’s
Quebec office.
The Immigration and Refugee Board said: “Mr. Omer’s reasons for trying
to hide that, in Canada, he is responsible for the Montreal section of
the MQM-Canada lead me to believe that he knew that his party was
committing many violent acts.”
He appealed the decision to the [Canada] Federal Court, arguing that
the MQM is not a terrorist organization and that the violence was
committed by rogue elements in the [MQM] party, but the court was not
convinced.

Admin, can you please post the video of PPP leader being aired by Dunya News, in which he is shown hitting people who had gathered to buy sasta aatta in Dadu?
It is relevant to Dr. SM last program of image building exercise by govt officials and needs to be discussed by pkpolitics visitors.
I totally disagree the ‘quaidabad’ issue is of headline importance. This was clarified way back in 92 soon after the accusation was made.
Brig. Imtiaz’s bringing it up yet again, at this time, is nothing but a typical red herring to distract from the genuine issue of MQM’s terrorism, and the inquiries it now faces. It is also being used to somehow weaken Nawaz Sharif, who appears unstoppable in gaining popularity. It suits, and has always suited, the establishment not let any one political party or leader become very strong. Keep them all weak, thereby keeping own hold on country.
There can be NO other purpose in bringing up such a non issue at this time, and sending all the talking heads spinning into this rat hole.
@Gul,
Re: your post above, I tend to disagree with you. We need to highlight the role of intelligence agencies in weakening the political structure of this country. Hamid Gul has also issued a statement recently where he has indicated how the agencies were involved in forming IJI. The bottom line is that agencies need to stay out of the political structure, period.
@Amir Hameed
Right, but unless politicians or parties are involved in anti-Pakistan or other illegal activities.
@Amir Hameed
I agree with you a 100% on the need to struggle against agencies’ role in preventing Pakistan from ever acquiring a strong democratic dispensation.
Where I don’t agree is that this dead issue, a red herring, will do that. As I said, the fact that there never was such a map was very much contradicted and clarified very shortly after the claim was made. Beating this idiotic and long failed, long disproven claim, NOW, is meant to serve purposes entirely different form highlighting agencies’ role in the past or the present.
@sacheebat,
…unless politicians or parties are involved in anti-Pakistan or other illegal activities…
That is fine but it is related to treason and not the political structure. Agencies’ role should be to protect the country, both from inside and outside threats, BUT not to interject their influence in the political structure.
@Gul,
Re: this being a dead issue; Altaf Hussain’s speech in India should also be a dead issue because we all know that it DID happen but we beat this dead horse every single chance we get. In the context of Jinahpur, I do not see any reason why we should not discus a) who orchestrated it, meaning where did the orders come from? b) why was it done? c) What was the role of the-then government?
These are all legitimate questions and should not be put under the cover. People have the right to ask and to know the truth.
These is no doubt that this site is tilted towards PML-N. I mean, if NS is constipated, a.d.m.i.n will open a thread for discussion.

Chief politicians embezzle donation money in Ishaq era
KARACHI: According to the sworn undertaking of ISI’s former chief Lieutenant General (rtd) Asad Durrani, which he took before Supreme Court (SC) on July 24, 1994, that he was instructed in September 1990 by the then Chief of Army Staff (COAS), the former General Mirza Aslam Baig for provision of Logistic Support to embezzle money donated for election preparations from some Karachi traders and use the same donation money for Islami Jamhuri Ittehad (IJI) party. ………

The Sneaking US Occupation Of Islamabad
Pakistan was reported to have expelled the head of an American NGO providing cover to Blackwater operations on Pakistani soil. Now this deported American, Crag Davis, is back in Pakistan. And he is not alone. Close to 2,000 Hummers have arrived at a Pakistani port that are not destined for Afghanistan. The world’s biggest US embassy is under construction in Islamabad. As if this is not enough, the US embassy has hired a huge number of houses across the Pakistani capital to serve as unofficial local franchises. Welcome to the silent American occupation of Pakistan, with the blessing of the elected Pakistani politicians and a silent Pakistani military.

ML (N) knew about Karachi operation: Safdar
Updated at: 1830 PST, Monday, August 31, 2009
LAHORE: Ex Director General Rangers Major General (retired) Safdar Ali Khan said the maps of Jinnahpur were recovered in a raid, however the news was later repudiated under political pressure.
Talking to media in Lahore, he said, “Karachi operation was not against any particular party or community, but it was carried out to purge the city from weapons and criminal elements. Whereas Jinnahpur maps were found in a search operation, which were later dined under political pressure.
“The then president Ghulam Ishaq Khan did not want that Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) be crippled against Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP), Jamaat e Islami (JI) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan (JUP), and it was the main reason to end the Karachi operation.”
He said, “Pakistan Muslim League (N) cannot shake off the responsibility by claiming that it did was not informed about the operation, since such operations are not carried out without apprising the government.”
Not only the torture cells were found at Jamshoro University, but anthem and slogans for Sindhu Desh were also witnessed written on the walls, he continued.
He said, “When I was GOC Hyderabad in 1987, Altaf Hussain held a rally along with Jeay Sindh, where he torched the National Flag saying it was a great blunder to acknowledge Pakistan.”
Major General (retired) Safdar Ali Khan said he ordered the than Commissioner Ali Mohammad Sheikh to arrest Altaf Hussain, but the Commissioner replied (the than) president Zia-ul-Haq had directed him not to take any action against the MQM Chief.
This piece of news has also posted by @geog47 above.

A police picket stopped two cars carrying the four Americans who refused to explain why they were carrying sophisticated automatic weapons in the capital city. They were taken to a police station for interrogation but were released when two retired Pakistani army officers reached the station and threatened police officers of dire consequences.

“fuel prices increased again… Where is CJ?”
I remember in 2008 CJ SHC took SM action over traffic jam in Karachi and summoned city administration, Police, Ministry officials etc.
Now it is not understandable why judges are quiet on Steel Mill, Fuel Prices, Sugar crises, Rental power project…… May be they think these are minor issues as compare to traffic jam in Karachi.

Every day 1000s of girls willingly get laid just in LA and ready to pay the small price they think to get a chance to become a model or actress but no one get 59 years for so called assault on them.
Indian community has to show some balls if they have any to protest this 100% racial conviction by racist jury of LA.

I hope the guys in-charge of this website are already in the knowledge that comments have been ‘RESTRICTED’ from members of this forum who reside within Pakistan?
Since late last night, the in-country members have been facing dificullties in passing their comments to this website, on ‘toture/abuse’ as well as on ‘Human Rights Violations’ by ‘NAPAK’ army soldiers, on the civilians of Swat Valley/dissidents, which is nothing, but to say the least:-
1.Abhornent
ffensive to the mind.
2.Despicable: Morally reprehensible
3.Abominable: unequivocally detestable & exceptionally bad & displeasing.
I presume the ISPR has realised the the bad name that the said video has brought to it in such ‘shortest’ possible time.Hence, they may have approached Zardari to verbally ‘ORDER’ PTCL to restrict the comments of the viewers within Pakistan; which is all they could ‘sucessfully’ do?
Can the guys incharge of ths site elobrate what actions have they taken so far to tell Zardari & his cohorts, that it is NO MORE RULE by a dictator but probably a ‘democracy’ is in place?
