I am being targeted because I say the MQM is behind the Mohajir Sooba Tehreek: Marvi

Published: May 24, 2012

KARACHI: 

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Marvi Memon has alleged that the “same people are responsible for the events of May 22 who were behind those on May 12, 2007”.

She has also alleged that the “MQM is behind the Mohajir Sooba Tehreek”, and believes that she is being targeted because she is making this claim.

According to Memon, she was at the rally to represent the PML-N after having accepted an invitation from Ayaz Palijo. “The PML-N supports the two issues the rally was for – condemning the deaths of innocent people in Lyari and condemning the division of Sindh.”

Memon took PML-N Sindh president Ghous Ali Shah into confidence and he had endorsed the issues. She was representing the PML-N at the rally with the party’s provincial youth wing president and a handful of workers.

As far as allegations against her being responsible for Tuesday’s events are concerned, Memon said the MQM had targeted her for naming them as being behind the Mohajir Sooba Tehreek, and Rehman Malik’s allegations were “so ludicrous they were not worth commenting on”.

“The government talks against [the billboards and graffiti] but has not been able to remove [them]. They are in cahoots with the MQM. Or they are not in charge. That means the MQM is in charge.”

Memon recounted the events of Tuesday. The PML-N contingent first went to Ibrahim aka Cheel Chowk where they were told that the rally would start from Uzair Baloch’s residence.

The rally took off, and appeared to be divided into two – a large group of people from Lyari, including women, and the workers of the Awami Tehreek. When they moved towards MA Jinnah Road, the people at the back of the rally came under fire.

Memon’s driver escaped the attack but her jeep was hit by bullets. At this point, they decided to stop at Denso Hall and wait for the rest of the rally to catch up but she believes this is when they were caught in the crossfire and were targeted by attackers in buildings.

She says when the remaining people caught up with the rally – most had left because of the panic –they moved forward to II Chundrigar Road. Memon was then called by the PML-N to attend an emergency meeting to recount what had transpired, and so she left and the party had its own press conference.

    Marvi is a courageous lady to tell the world what she feels about ethnic fascist organisation known as MQM without mincing words. There is no doubt MQM was behind the firing on a peaceful rally. Altaf Hussain is following duplicitous policy. On the one hand he claims MQM is not behind the ludicrous demand of a Mohajir province but all the evidences are that the real culprit behind all this is Altaf Hussain. Unfortunately because of a weak and spineless government Altaf and his gang will once again go scot free as they did after perpetrating atrocities on the 12th Ma7 2007. Yesterday’s massacre was exact replica of 12the May carnage.

    IT IS POINTLESS TO DEMAND FROME THE CJP TO TAKE ANY ACTION.

    No, no. You are getting blamed because you’ve decided to become a convenient tool in the hands of the joint Dons of Lahore and Jati Umra. You have managed to do what haters of Sindh could not do themselves namely shedding blood of people of Sindh / Karachi while watching from safe distance. Yes, you managed a revolution, Marvi, a revolution! You even got people like those gangsters of Lyari in the fold of Nawaz League as well as those known haters of both the reality and the idea Pakistan—–you deserve a ‘Bonus’ now from your paymasters for the services assigned and rendered actually more than that—-let the Sharifs, both of them, and their respective “families” read this and take my recommendation. And you also can take my advice, contest an election from Sindh to prove how popular you are here and don’t wait for nominations for selection from some reserved seat in Punjab. Recommend

I am not against Imran Khan and respect your views that you consider him YOUR last hope.. Secondly, why are you saying that it is pointless to ask CJ to take any action.. do you think, he won’t take or he is influenced by MQM…?

    Any sensible person across Pakistan who understand they dynamics of Karachi (not just by watching TV but by observing so closely and being unbiased) would be getting the point that how Karachi is tackled by establishment… The people of Karachi have been voting freely for MQM, and if you respect democracy then at least care for the people who vote of MQM and want them to be their representative…

    Marvi Memon is increasingly sounding like a Sindhi supremacist. I find it reprehensible that she is perpetuating divisions in Sindh for private political gain.

    If she considers Urdu-speaking population the same as Sindhis, then why endorse a quota system? Quota system is clearly an institutional discrimination against the Urdu-speaking population – while drawing a divide between Urdu speaking Sindhis and Native Sindhis. Let’s promote an egalitarian society based on merit.

MQM pro-actively supported creation of Saraiki and Hazara province for this ultimate goal. It seems: the Pandora box that PPP opened for short-term political gains would shake the very foundations of the country. Unlike, knavish Zardari and reactive Sharifs, Altaf, on this subject, got his political calculus absolutely CORRECT: after dividing Punjab and KPK nobody can stop eventual division of Sindh.

    MQM wants to create ethnic strife between Sindhis and Mohajirs. Because their politics survive on the politics of hate and violence. Urdu speaking should remember that they live in the land of Sindhis and their future belongs to this land and these peoples. It is insane to support politics of hate and division. When Sindhi Nationalists are saying loudly that Urdu speaking are our brothers and then it is also responsibility of Urdu speaking people to condemn killing of innocent people in rally and denounce any such move to divide Sindh. Point is simple, if you want to live in our land, behave like brother and be part of this motherland, and if not, Pakistan is open for you, it does not end in Sindh.

Kindly make up your mind Marvi as to what and who do you really support and what are your goals and aims .People who once used to respect you for your zeal and sincerity are now way more doubtful of you then anyone else. Secondly please provide evidence for MQM’s involvemnet in May 22nd rally attack or else stop blaming them. Karachi has already suffered alot becuase of oppurtunists like you and Ayaz Palijo ,how can you claim to be sincere to Sindh and Karachi when in fact you are just creating false rumors without any prove.Thirdly creation of a seperate province is a decision which can not be taken without the constent of the Sindh assembely , and we have to wait and see what the assembly decides , but you can NOT call people traitors or threathen them with consequences for asking for their constitutional rights! so grow up and stop trying to incite hatred and more mayhem in the already volatile city which you did by supporting the terrorists of People’s aman committee.

Would she condemn the division of Punjab? Her position changes when it comes to Sindh. She is reminding us that the MQM is behind the incident on May 22, just as it was on May 12 2007. Let us remind her that she was sitting as an ally with the MQM in 2007. She never blamed MQM at that time for the May 12 mayhem. Not even in the years after.

    Until you joined the party of “Daggas”, the looters of Pakistan in the name of “Motorway”, Airport Project etc., I always looked upon you as an englighten person For the sake of [highly paid] politics (PML-N is loaded with looted money to pay to their party workers), you have jumped into a sinking boat and for years people of Pakistan will not forgive you. Why Karachi can not become a sooba? just because MQM has a stronghold, Why if MQM takes charge and change the destiny of this city as they did during Musharraf’s era? I live in Istanbul and the mayor of Istanbul (1994-1998), the current PM (Mr. Erdogan) has changed the desitiny of entire Turkey in last 12 years. Please make a serious research on the success of Turkey and you will then, I am sure will start hating PML-N.Recommend

    MM get real! PMLN wants to use you and have you killed in this USELESS issue in order to take away the Nationalist vote from PPP and others. Do not fall for the people who have been depriving Sindh for decades.

    Regarding the hoardings! Why didn’t you mention the hoarding all over Sindh of Sindhudesh, of Pakhtoonistan in KPK and of Free Baluchistan around Baluchistan territories.

    On the other hand which made you incite hatred was a demand for a PROVINCE only, which your leader (SHAHBAZ) has already endorsed, it is not a separate country.

    If Mohajir Soba Tahreek (MQM Shadow group) takes out rallies, and billboards with hate messages spread out in Karachi, it is called “freedom of expression.” So they can be allowed to enter even RED ZONE and with regard to their right to protest, they were served with juices and mineral water. While other side of coin, if Awami Tahreek, PMLN, Lyari people take out rally, it is labeled as effort to create “hate”, they were stopped with containers, police got missing, and they were served with bulets and blood. Media’s biased approach was also proved, many Urdu TV channels were taking sides with killers and terrorists. What a justice and freedom of expression in Pakistan. Terrorists get scot free and innocent people gets killed.

    The MQM would be happy over this demand. It is just a matter of time, it is waiting in the wings to let the demand grow and gain momentum before it officially embrace it as a ‘legitimate popular demand’. MQM pro-actively supported creation of Saraiki and Hazara province for this ultimate goal. It seems: the Pandora box that PPP opened for short-term political gains would shake us badly.
    However, unlike, knavish Zardari and reactive Sharifs, Altaf, on this subject, has got his political calculus absolutely CORRECT: after dividing Punjab and KPK nobody can stop eventual division of Sindh.

These emotional people should realise that even if their demands are fulfilled it will not serve their purposes for a long time as it is election year and such voices are being given life by these opportunists to get votes that they cannot earn by other means because they are that dirty.

Route of the rally was highly congested, thickly populated, Centre of Bank`s head offices, and also business/commercial/whole-sale market hub not only of Karachi but the whole Pakistan. Was it not a mischievous and planned act of a great sabotage? All who organised should have been arrested and taken to the task.
