HS | 12 years ago | Reply @ Maria Kindly spare us your lecture about who is wanted what criminal cases. Everyone knows the reality of those criminal cases. And most of them are not even admissible to the courts. I could open up hundred of cases against you, that doesnt make you guilty does it? Also kindly stop insulting the people of Karachi who sit and listen to Altaf Hussain, your insults and hate only make MQM stronger. Try and control your hate. If you have ever been to that road in SITE you will see the heavy traffic and jams that happen there. That is an industrial area and a flyover will greatly help reduce traffic. That is the most important thing. It should not have been after Altaf Hussains daughter but maybe someone was acting more loyal than was required.

How can a man who is not fair to his own child, be fair to others. So the best gift that this motherless child is not to name a flyover after her, but to provide justice to the child.
