Does Kashmir Really Matter To Most Pakistanis?

Relation Between Pakistan and India have remained Strained From a long period of time . Both Countries had fought three wars and lived in a state of confrontation ( a situation in which two parties opposing each other). They haven’t achieved yet a situation where they been called a developed country . Both Countries are suffering from Poverty , About 400 million people in India earns less than a Dollar a day. About 45 million people in Pakistan suffering from same poverty condition , this means about 27.3 percent of people are in severe poverty position.

THE KAMAL RETURN OF KAMAL

“The MQM’s leader has associations with Indian intelligence Agency; RAW”

How many times have we heard this sentence in past couple of years? From Saulat Mirza, a murderer who was facing death sentence, to Imran Khan, one of the most cherished personalities in Pakistan, almost a dozen of people made the same allegations against Altaf Hussain. However, this time it was not the same as previous ones. The person who was labeling the Mutehidda Qaumi Movement’s leader as a traitor was not someone stranger to the MQM camp but an individual who came out of their own ranks, a guy who was considered their ‘poster boy’, Syed Mustafa Kamal was to MQM what Virat Kohli is to Indian Cricket team; no matter how much you hate the line up but you have to admit the guy has got exceptional batting skills. In his 5 years spell as Karachi Mayor, he got everything from international acclamation to local love, and he deserved that too!

Their ex-senator turning against them was not the only problem for MQM site but there was another personality sitting right beside Syed Mustafa Kamal in his press conference, Aness Hussain Kaim Khani, for me Aness Kaim Khani is bigger threat to MQM than Mustafa Kamal, since he remained their deputy convener for decades, was presumed to be one of their inside people and as Mustafa Kamal tagged him “badhsha of Karachi”.

Mustafa Kamal and Anees Kaim Khani bombarded MQM, particularly Altaf Hussain, with accusations of some serious severity. They did not even spare ex-Interior Minister of Pakistan, Mr Rehman Malik, and blamed him to be equally involved with Altaf Hussain in his proceedings against country.

After couple of hours senators, MPA’s, MNA’s and other important people from MQM held a press conference at their famous 9 0, where they defended their leader adequately as they have been doing for quite a time now and strongly defied Mustafa Kamal claims. Also Rehman Malik issued a statement in which he planned to take legal steps against Mustafa Kamal and Anees KK.

In last I wanted to add my point as student who likes to keep a close eye on country’s politics; allegations from Mustafa Kamal and Anees Kaim Khani are not of small stature and cannot be taken lightly, considering the fact that they were an important part of MQM just some years ago adds to the importance of the situation created. A proper investigation should be carried out and people responsible should be punished. If the claims are in any sort wrong, then Mustafa Kamal and Anees Kaim Khani should be held accountable.
But since we live in Pakistan, it is easy said than done!

Where will this accusation game lead Karachi politics to? Will Mustafa Kamal be able to make any impact in Karachi Politics?  So many unanswered questions but we can just wait and see which way the wind will blow!

Mustufa Kamal & MQM: Hello from the other side

Two days back when Mustufa Kamal came out from nowhere and did a 2 hours long press conference, from then till now all we are seeing and listening on news is that controversy. He bashed Mr. Altaf Hussain and the party he himself was part of for several reasons. It was an unforeseen event for everyone and for MQM it was unsought also.

Pakistani media gave complete coverage of his press conference for 2 hours. Even some news channels skipped their headline bulletins and some even terminated the advertisements. Later when MQM started their reply press conference it was not covered with that priority as Kamal’s press conference was covered. There were advertisements in between, there were news bulletin. Isn’t that bizarre? I am not a MQM supporter, but when I look with neutrality I think there is more to this than meets the eye. Were there some instructions to the media? And if there were, by whom? Obviously PEMRA, which is monitored by Ministry of Information and Nawaz Sharif himself.

Moreover MQM is being linked to Indian Intelligence Agency RAW for a long time. Here I’m not defending MQM, but I ask what when pro Anti-Pakistan Indians come to the wedding of Nawaz Sharif’s granddaughter. If the prime-minister himself is having links with such people why no one has ever raised his voice against that. If one party is being victimized, every party should be treated like that. If there was a raid on NINE-ZERO (MQM HQ), there also must be a raid on BILAWAL HOUSE. And just like NINE-ZERO, barriers of BILAWAL HOUSE also must be removed. PM must be asked about his relations with those anti-Pakistan Indians. The problem isn’t the RAW, problem is when thousands of people die of hunger in Thar, CM comes out and say that it was their fate. Problem is when people are dying of hunger and we’re creating world most expensive metro bus. Problem is when people like Zulfiqar Mirza are free with full dignity. Problem is when criminals accused of rape are set free. Problem is when the murderers of Shahzeb Khan walk away from the gallows easily.

We should also look upon this issue from other side. Why Mustufa felt doleful for the people of Karachi now? Who forced him to come out? There is something more than that we are showed. What media shows us is not always true.

MQM was the creation of establishment. Does establiment need a new party now? Will Mustufa Kamal’s Party be that party? Or everything is bona fide that we’re being showed? Time will tell.

“HOW TO MOVE TO CANADA” Trending After Trump’s Win On Tuesday

You always hear from people that they want to move to USA but many Americans are looking forward to move to Canada now. Reports show Google searches for “HOW TO MOVE TO CANADA” have soared as much as 1,150 percent after Trump’s win on Tuesday. Trump has claimed victory in seven states : Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia. There’s no definitive evidence that it was Trump’s victory that prompted this interest in mass exodus (Hillary Clinton came away the big winner on the Democratic side), still even Google seems to think that Canada’s appeal might have a bit more to do with the Donald than anything else. It seems people are doing more than just searching how to move to Canada.

It was pointed out that an error was posted by Canadian government’s website in hours after Trump’s Tuesday win. Apparently the Canadian site cant handle so many Americans on it on the same time.

Role of Pakistan in Asia

Pakistan is an Islamic country. Their role is very significant for all country in Asia. As an Islamic country, Pakistan’s first work is to Unit all Islamic Countries. In Asia, Non-Islamic countries want to govern whole Asia. In this way, India Machinated for inclement circumstance of Pakistan. Because Pakistan is the larger country and stronger as well.

The geographic importance of Pakistan is very important.   Pakistan is situated in North part of South Asia. Pakistan has a common Border with China, Afghanistan, Iran, India, Tajikistan and Wakhan. Pakistan is situated in a region which has a great political, economic and military importance. Pakistan’s military force is the strongest force ever in Pakistan. Pakistan is situated where they interlink with Gulf States, USA, and European countries with Central Asia. Pakistan connects all the Muslim countries from Athletic ocean to Arabian Sea. Our Politician said about Army
“Our soldiers are like walkie talkie robots … They do what they are programed to do. They dont have a mind of their own – they are programed to follow orders. having said that, Our Army is known by its conduct and results. Both have been disasters. The poor soldier gives his life without knowing that he is not fighting for Islam….he doesn’t know that he is fighting for the enemies of Islam and Pakistan.”

In addition Pakistan make friendship with China and Russia as these is the real powers of Asia. So no one country has battle with Pakistan.
