Dear friends,
I speak here as a Karachite. Not as a Sindhi, Muhajir, Pathan or whatsoever.
I have been visiting many different cities of Pakistan during the last 5 years. It saddens me to the depth of my heart when I compare Karachi with other cities. Consider Lahore for example, it has developed so much in the last 3 years. Consider Peshawar, it is a very very beautiful city now because of the local management. I wonder what has happened to Karachi? Why us? Have we been ignored on purpose? Dont us Karachites have any unity? MQM has been getting votes in the name of doing something for Muhajirs/Karachi. I dont see what it has done till yet. All I see is that every other day there is a fresh clash b/w MQM rivalries, APMSO students boast around showing off their power in the name of MQM, worst, Altaf has exiled himself, after his torture cells were found out. Count me one single instance where MQM has done something useful.
My question is: Why do muhajirs still vote for MQM when you have seen that MQM has done nothing for you but bought you misery? Also, why do Muhajirs call themselves Muhajir? Are they not Pakistanis now, or will they eventually go back to India, like the original muhajirs went back to Mecca?
Every bad event in Karachi deepens me to undescribable extent. I honestly wish and try my best to do something for this city of lights, which unfortunatly is dying gradually because of our negligence.
