The Interior Minister is to be congratulated on the action taken against the criminal elements in Karachi, and the shocking facts that have been uncovered in the raids. Ch Nisar Is to be congratulated because he provided the support, and importantly, the political will without which this operation would not have gotten underway, because the Prime Minister was too busy in protecting his coalition partners. Not realising that allowing such criminal activity to be given political protection is a bigger crime, attacking the State itself, amounting to treason. We are lucky that Nisar saw fit to disassociate his Ministry from the criminals, thus allowing the Rangers to do their job. Nawaz Sharif was also excused from any embarrassment that was bound to, and did appear in the form of a two hour telephonic harangue. With a supporting chorus of MQM ministers appearing on all TV channels to propagate the Party line. Nisar has done well, coming out of Nawaz’s shadow, saying all the things that should have been said by the Prime Minister, who chose to remain strangely silent. When will our politicians realize that it is Pakistan that is important, the personalities are not important, being transient anyway. They have also missed the basic point, that, any damage to the State by Nawaz, Zardari, Altaf, should be treated as treason. Other than Imran nobody really cares for Pakistan. The others have all chosen the comfort of exile at one time or another, while Altaf luxuriates in London.
Nawaz in Jeddah was certainly not living in penury, he was pampered as only the Saudis can do. If Nawaz Sharif does try to interfere in the Rangers operation, in keeping with his coalition ‘agreement’ the army may just sweep him aside, along with his coalition partner, Zardari, who is next in line for the army clean up.For too long has Pakistan been looted by the politicians who were elected to safeguard the interests of the people. It is unfortunate that the guardians became the robbers, and since 1970 the pattern has been repeated. The people are now delighted that the Army has decided to cleanse the system, without taking over. They have sensibly stayed away from governance, ( distancing themselves from bribes for favours) so that they can concentrate on bringing the criminals to book. As we have seen the system is not crooked, but the crooks have taken charge of the system. Using their position of power to protect themselves from prosecution. Ingenious, and effective, when supported by bent lawyers, and crooked judges. The only person punished was Admiral Mansoo who is now back to his slimy ways.
General Raheel must ensure that the criminals are punished according to the laws of Pakistan. Nothing more nothing less. The Corps Commander Karachi is to be commended for conducting the operation well within the service rules, and there was no unnecessary force, use or display. The behaviour of the prisoners was very subdued, with no display of resistance or truculence. I have just seen a video of Saulat Mirza who has been sentenced to death, and is awaiting execution. In this confession he describes in chilling detail how he received instructions from Altaf Husain directly, how the killing was carried out, the cars that were snatched and then used in the murder. The escape routes to South Africa, via Dubai, and the arrest, and subsequent years spent in jail. I cannot understand the people such as Nasim Zehra, actually standing up for the MQM leader, and trying to explain away the behaviour of the workers and the party. What amazes me further is the inability of the LEAS to bring the culprits to book. Even the British Government has been complicit in this cover up, and subsequent grant of asylum to such a murderous group. With the backing of the UK Goverment it is not surprising that the MQM has succeeded in flourishing, and dominates the politics of Karachi. Did the British Governnment not realize that at some point these criminals would stand exposed, and the complicity of the British would be uncovered. With the present day freedom of knowledge and the flow of information, could this criminal collusion be kept hidden forever ?.
As the Godmother to the Pakistani people surely it was pure stupidity to nurture Altaf and protect his evil. It is the misfortune of the British people that they have imported these monsters, and assimilated them into the mainstream citizenry of the UK. I am sure if her Majesty the queen were to discover the evil that now lurks in Mill Hill, and is partaking of the protection of HMG, she would decide that her Goverment had indeed made a grave error in judgement. Perhaps one of her ministers could be made to pay for this lapse.
