Hi friends, i don't understand why the partition immigrants in Pakistan are still called "Muhajirs". Even their future generations who are born in Pakistan are labelled Muhajirs after 6 decades. People who came to India after partition haven't been treated differently and their is no special name for them. They've become successful because of their hardwork. Our PM Manmohan Singh is an example of someone who was born in what is now Pakistani territory. I'm also from an immigrant Hindu family who used to earlier stay in Sant nagar, Lahore before partition.
@jahanabad - I wonder if you realise the plight of those hindus, sikhs and muslims who suffered because of the most foolish and sadistic decisions taken by those who negotiated so called 'azadi'. Ten of millions suddenly became faceless destitutes at the mercy of goondas. All that I can say is that those people need to be treated as human beings. They have been unwelcome both in India as also Pakistan. Please stop using the word MUHAJIR, they are your brothers who need your love.Show you compassion and embrace them as guests and not as vultures. They will feel happy and you will have peace and also feel happy.
if altaf hussain is against the creation of pakistan,,,as its proved in his speech in india ,, in which he said , that creation of pakistan was the greatest blunder of history,,,then why he came from india to pakistan ,,he and his mohajir community should go back to their forfathers lands in india , and let karachi be in peace,,,,
@Balach:
Are you mad to comment like this?
However I don't have any objection to become Hindustani and Insha Allah I will have better life without fear with my relatives.
Creation of Pakistan by Muhajirs not by Allah and the land was given by Baloch, Sindhi Pakhtun, Saraikies and Punjabi's. once the people of this province demand for independent there would be no more Pakistan, and all this Muhajirs have no more Pakistan, then again these proud Pakistani Muhajir become Hindustani.
@Salman Orangiwala:
It is absurd to speak about Pakistan and Sindh separately, just like speaking about Sindh and Karachi separately.
@Salman Orangiwala:
Pakistan is because of its provinces, the units that formed Pakistan, and Sindh being the first to pass resolution and opt for Pakistan; Even before Muslim League, there was Sindh Muhammadan Front, and later Sindh became the strongest for Muslim League; If you live in Sindh, go to Sindh archives in Karachi and Sindhology in Jamshoro, seek the records!
@D2 and Seema If it wasnt for Paksitan , there would have been India , and in Sindh , Sindhi Muslims would have still be dwelling in those Goths , Hindu Sindhis would have prospered as they ahve now in India , there wouldnt have been any unfair crutch for quota system for Sindhi Muslims , they would have been motgaging their lands to wealthy Hindu businessmen and wishing some day paksitan would be created ,the Lenders of money would be kicked out and their lands would be occupied .
Fianlly Eesops fable came true .How lucky some people could get . .
@jack: Why muhajirs are living in euphoria that they made Pakistan. Pakistan wouldnot be a reality if Sindh did not vote in favor of Pakistan. Pakistan was just name at time Sindh gave it land to be called Pakistan then other provinces joined it. Muhajirs were killed because they killed Hindus, and those Hindus belonged to their province so they were like them, and they also killed muslims, where in Sindh, we Hindu sindhi and muslim were living peacefully side by side and after partition sindhi Muslims allowed Hindus without any bloodshed,and welcome our muslims from India. Today we regret, why did we welcome them, like Punjab we should have said. Pakistan aagy hey Muhajirs betrayed by their Nawabs, that's why they are homeless, Now another killings wont get them home, bad intention brings only punishment from God.
@Bilal:
The British did the most for Karachi, and then the PPP (ZAB) in the 70s; Mustafa Kamal during his time in CDGK was only responsible for 33% of Karachi, don't try to fool us!
What actually happened http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZn60lcepWI&feature=youtu.be
MQM has done so much development in Karachi, what ANP has done for Karachi? their leaders just come to media and abuse URDU speaking community.
So its official that the GANG War between MQM & ANP have started.
I lived in Karachi for 5 years (2004-2009) and I consider it as my own city. Please don't confine it to a certain ethnicity. Pakistan is a free country and according to the constitution anyone can settle anywhere.
If MQM thinks it can flush out other ethnicities through coercion, then it is grossly mistaken. The resistance will be more than MQM has ever imagined.
By raising such stupid slogans MQM is actually shooting itself in the foot, by compromising on its electoral politics in other provinces of the country, Kashmi and Gilgit - Baltistan.
They kill us because we support them. They will die when we will not support them
Pakistan was created by muslims of hundustan. Pakistan first budget was made possible by 100% funds provided by four mohajir families. Eduacational institute established by mohajirs and the list goes on..... till know. Now bring a list of contribution of other provinces..... Shame on people of this country, who has gain every thing because of Pakistan, and if they are oppressed because of their own waderas, sardars, maliks and fudals of all kind and shape. Shame on you people. Shame on you people. Shame. What Lyari has gain in last 40 years.... what Nwabshah has got in last 40 years. They supported their PPP waseras and sardars all along. What Mardan and Kohat or even PEhsawar has got nothing.... wjho to blame for this. Go and read Moulana Azad thoughts and pridictions on the creation of PAksitan. Shame Shame Sahme.
@jack: Thank you Jack for making Pakistan. But please for God sake don't destroy it now. Secondly its what you have been taught by your leaders that oonlyUrdu speaking community contributed in the creation of Pakistan. The fact is that all Pakistanis made Pakistan but others don't feel it appropriate to take credit. And by the way its not only Urdu speaking community that migrated. Hundreds of thousand Punjabis also migrated from East Punjab and settled themselves in Western Punjab. You need a refresher course on Pakistan history and need to forget your UK based leaders Mantara.
MQM it self behind this. MQM is agents of raw and MQM should be banned. Government need to issue for all MQM people refugee Card and should go back to INDIA.
MQM, ANP or PPP - none of these are saints in this whole canvas. Everybody is corrupt and they all lie. We all know that. I can understand if they get racist and talk crap because they are making money off of it. Why are we being racists? Karachi is a metropolitan city. Understand it clearly or not but Karachi is where most people would want to come and earn. This whole issue will never be resolved until all coalition parties stop their illegal acts. That unfortunately is not going to happen - at least not in the near future. So lets just chill out and relax. We Karachiites will not cease to face this crappy situation and when it's time to die - it's time to die. Hard facts but the 50 comments above do not offer a solution. Even if anyone did have a good idea, who is to listen? They are making money man! Nobody cares about who lives or die. Its all about the dough bro - its's all about the dough.
I think the only solution of Pakistan to make more provinces and give autonomy to the local people living there and I think this is best solution for divided nation otherwise there will be more Balochistan in Pakistan..........think about it it is the need of the hour. Karachi is bigger than many countries and deserve to be a separate province......
@jack:
If by 'Muhajirs' you mean those who struggled for Pakistan that is now India and the first generation of those who migrated to Pakistan before the breach of the Liaquat-Nehru pact, then yes it cannot be honestly disputed that contributed to the struggle for Pakistan. BUT don't say 'unlike rest of pakistanis who got pakistan served in a plate' everyone else struggled as much if not more than those who you refer to as 'Muhajirs' and keep in mind that it was Sindh that was the strongest ground for the Muslim League and also the first to pass resolution and opt for Pakistan!
@jack Does all the muhajirs pay tax i born and raised and live in karachi and know very well ...
who says its ethnic, its all about bhattas and extortion money share. and frankly i am sindhi but ANP and pp aman committee has been notorious in extortion these days.
I call upon pakhtoons to apologise to our mohajir brothers and close the issue. let peace prevail in karachi.
Again MQM is up to some kind of black mailing in return of peace in karachi. Actually MQM is nothing but tout of agencies, now agencies are failed to destabilize the govt in memo gate contempt of court and NRO cases, they give another try to MQM after target killing last year. Actually MQM is playing two side game, pleasing agencies and blackmailing govt to strike deal with them, as always.
@Salman Orangiwala:
Firstly, the word word 'muhajir' is contraditory to any nationality; It simply means you are in a limbo and away from your homeland. So stop using a state and call yourself Urdu or Sindhi or Pakistani.
Secondly, the so called 'Muhajirs' did not lay the foundations of Karachi but fisher men and women from the western shores did; The name Kolachi was actually named after a fisherwoman; And then the most work done in Karachi was during the British Raj, and then in the 70s. If you are going to fool us by saying how much Mustafa Kamal did during his City District Government, then let me remind you that only 33% comes under the City District Government.
Finally, everybody who lives in Sindh is Sindhi and everybody who lives in Pakistan is a Pakistani; they rightful owners of Karachi are not even part of this turf war going on!
@pakistani: Jamat-e-islami should be pushed in this. Mqm and anp are the culpurates . I think that jamat-e-islami is the only patriotic political party.
@Mehran: I don't believe in Sindh Baluchistan Punjab and pukhtoonkha. I only believe in one Pakistan and mind you my brother mohair were the people who gave their blood to Pakistan . They should be treated with equality otherwise the situation would be out of control. Because many muhajirs who are not the supporters of mqm are treated with injustice
This violence has started with the conspiracy against the Karachi and MQM to destroy the peace of the city. The ruling ethnic party of the KP is making joint effort with Liyari gang war terrorist and also influential people in government of Sindh does not want peace in Karachi and they do not want Pakistan to be stable in economy. ANP AND LIYARI GANG WAR TERRORIST ARE BECOME THE ENEMY OF PEACE IN KARACHI. LETS GET RID OF THEM BY IRONIC HAND OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
@Hairaan:
Muhajirs made pakistan, unlike rest of pakistanis who got pakistan served in a plate, muhajirs sacrificed their lives in creation of pakistan. they should have accessto whole pakistan. and why don't punjab accept ppl from KP and afghan muhajireens? why only karachi should bear all the burden while punjab enjoys a care free and tax free life.
To all those supporting ANP... have you guys heard them talk? If ANP is right then Zulfiqar Mirza should be given Nobel Prize for peace!
I think that these political parties like ANP and MQM should be banned because these political parties are truly the agents of Indian raw and American CIA . These political parties think that they are the owners of Karachi but they are not. Whenever their political worker is killed they start spreading violenice in the city and they kill around 8 to 10 innocent people. I think that these political parties has ruin the image of pukthoons and muhajirs though they show of that they are representing them. Both the political parties claim that they represent the middle class but both parties has an ample amount of funds which clearly shows that they get money from raw and CIA in order to keep the situation tense. Due to this violence no foreign investment is coming in Pakistan.
@Maryam:
does pakhtoons pay taxes? or for that matter does any1 in pakistan pay taxes except for majority of urdu speaking ppl... ppl in pakistan are so fond of free rides, free amenities, free everything. why don't they contribute to the city and country like civilized and educated citizens?
@Yousha: is this confirm that tomorrow paper is cancelled?
My exams are getting affecting 2 papers cancelled, Karachi is well without parties infact Pakistan is well. Either their should be one party only so no local fights or no parties..
Please stand up if you are for Pakistan. Nobody does. Someone is for a Mohajir State, another for Pakhtoonistan and so on. What a shame and all this for vested interests and Bhatta money, manipulated by politicians.
hopeless still i c ppl having racism .... our city is burning and ppl are criticizing each other for being muhajir and Pukhtuns..... both of dem are part of karachi and both of dem have given sumthing 2 diz city...This iz da only reason we r left behind but no one can change our heart......
Mohajirs migrated from another country and setteled themselves in Karachi. However, they are now criticizing people migrating to Karachi from within Pakistan. They had the right to migrate but others do not have. Strange. Isn't it...........
Moral of the story: No matter who does anything in Karachi, MQM will get blamed for it.
@ Adeel
Good. MQM isnt an ethnic party anymore
Those living in Karachi for the last a decade or so are the residents of Sindh and they should have the equal rights irrespective of their origins. They are all Pakistanis whether by birth or migration. They should live in peace and harmony.They should understand, that they are part of a nation and anything shameful act must not be undertaken for the sake dignity be further lost in the eyes of the peace loving nations of the world.
@Ali Rehan , cause the IDPs know that the Muhajirs of Karachi ,being the most literate lot of this land , being the most open to allow everyone in Karachi , most civilized of all to consider them as brothers in need ..............................are the easiest one to be bullified unike the Punajbis or Balochs ..............................
Havent you seen , for the last two decades it was we who provided them the mean of livinghood in the industries , transpoerts , chowkidaris at bungalow and apartments ????
Now watch them pay us back .Thanks to our stupidity
@Ali Rehan: If IDPS from Afghanistan are problem to you what about illegal immigrants from India, Burma and Bangladesh? Are they acceptable to you? Shouldnt we all voice our concerns against all illegal immigrants?
@Salman Orangiwala: LOLX, if Karachi was barren land then why Pakistan chose it as her first capital. Sipmly because, it was already developed better than other cities of Pakistan, that's why it was made capital. Pls take some time to read about Pre-partition Karachi. Secondly, our hearts are open for peace loving Urdu speaking Sindhis, they are our brothers. But no sane person will ever accept terrorists and violent groups on their land. PERIOD
@Palwasha: But why should the IDPs only turn towards Karachi, which is farthest from the affected FATA areas into the South? Why shouldn't the IDPs also turn towards developed areas of Punjab as well?
@Mehran , stop day dreaming .Arent the days of Raj over ? The piece of land belongs to those who toiled on it and amde it the Oasis , Karachi was and would have still been a piece of barren land hadnt it been the Muhajirs .
Where were you when we were developing Nazimabad , FB Area, Saddar etc etc etc ......... Your threatening attitide will result in something beyond your comprehension .So cool down and face the reality .
@some one: Dont live in your dream world brother. We people of Sindh welcomed refugees from inside Pakistan and outside to come and proposer. But remind you, Karachi belongs to Sindh. And Sindh is not piece of cake to be divided to appease any one. Sindh is land of peace and love, no terrorist is found to be Sindhi in Karachi, check JITS and SC observations. Refugees are actually maligning our land by doing terrorist activities. Our economy and peace is looted by them. Enough now! Both MQM and ANP stop this violence, otherwise state apparatus should teach them lesson.
Till people of KARACHI are willing to be taken hostage by these 3 militant groups (ANP MQM PPP ) they will continue to be terrorized. Time to either stand up in next elections or shutup and face the music.
@some one: Yes you are rights but the policies of the Deep State trigger these Pukhtuns from FATA and Pukhtunkhwa to escape to Karachi. Do they had any other options? People from the 7 Tribal Areas are IDPs in other parts of Pukhtunkwa and the bomb blasts by Pakistan's Strategic Assets in the heart of Pukhtunkwa leave them with no option but to escape to other parts of Pakistan and to Karachi.
Presently Karachi is passing through a black period and no body knows as how long black period will continue.
The law enforcing agencies have failed to maintain the law and order situation. Now the only option is left that Pakistan Army should interfere and take the charge of running day to day affairs of the country.
If we take into account the events happened after August 14, 1947, the best time in which Pakistan prospered were ruled by Pakistan Army.
May I request Chief of the Army Staff General Kiyani to put a step forward and take over the affairs of the country in order to put Pakistan on the right track, as the immature leaders and workers of political parties even do not know what is the ABC of democracy.
The bottom line is to save Pakistan, the lives of Pakistanis and public private properties.
i dont like ANP and i dont like MQM though i am urdu speaking from karachi,both of them destroyed peace,law n order in my beautiful city.Both parties forgoten this we are pakistanies first regadless of languages.i have no idea this is poitics or a Bhatta war????
Which party took refuge under the NRO for murder and criminal cases, making them the biggest NRO beneficiary and the PPP only being second? Which party is the biggest beneficiary? It is the MQM; the people, the media, the politicians and now even the judiciary ignore and pay no heed to NRO murder and criminal cases, so much that records of NRO criminal cases has gone missing from Sindh High Court; And if you are going to start holding people for crimes, you start by already registered cases, but everybody minds the thieves and not the killers of the NRO!
@Palwasha, Maryam and other pukhtun brothers and sisters.
I feel that every one in Karachi, both Mahajirs and Pukhtuns should live peacefully like brothers. However I must humbly remind you all that the pukhtuns have a whole province to themselves called KP. They can easily develop that province and make peshawar, mardan, etc like Karachi.
The reality is Karachi is the only place Mahajirs have got and even that is now divided with others. Some thing should be done about Mahajir Suba to address the concern of Mahajirs. However both parties (MQM & ANP) should talk and find a resolution in a peaceful way. PPP and other parties should also facilitate the peace process. But Mahajirs should be recognized as a Tribe like others and should have a province.
Above all we are all muslims and no muslim should kill another in the name of ethnicity.
the balancing act :/
My take on this is that let them sort it out once for all !!!
Altaf Hussain and MQM must appreciate that it is not only they who could take Karachi hostage. Others including Pathan can do the same with innocents of Karachi what you can do. Karachi can also be easily blocked and besieged from outside. So please give up the past politics and grow up. I condemn all political parties that use violence as a tool to achieve objectives. I understand discrimination on the basis of religion and language is simple degradation. None of existing political parties including People’s Party has done any significant good to poor people of Karachi. Public sector schools have crumbled, dispensaries are of very little comfort for poor patients, there are no jobs, people cannot pay their rents and utility bills and poor is first and last victim of any violence in the town. Although, I know that you people are living in the past, you do not have capacity to look into the future, hence preaching and appeals will not influence your way of politics significantly , yet I humbly request to all to please grow up; and there is warning as well, if you did not change , it might not take twenty more years when you (PPP, ANP, MQM and others) will be rendered irrelevant. No card will help you to sustain your turf and obsolete politics.
FACT SHEET: The biggest problem is illegal immigrants in Sindh who are easily used by different parties as their front militia. According to the Pakistan Institute of Labour Education and Research (Piler), Around 75 per cent of irregular immigrants in Pakistan are living in Karachi Sindh. National Alien Registration Authority (Nara) estimated that 3.35 million illegal immigrants are living in the country and at least 2.5 million of them have settled in Karachi. There are over 100 migrant-concentrated residential areas in Karachi and most of these neighbourhoods are predominantly occupied by people from Afghanistan, Bihar, UP (India), Bangladesh and Burma. These illegal immigrants are not only burden on the economy of Pakistan but they also unleash violence under the patronage of different parties. Both MQM and ANP want to use them as their vote bank and militia. There is urgent need to kick out all illegal immigrants.
@Feroze: The reality is that Pukhtuns are around 5 million in Karachi and they are represented only with 2 seats in PA while none in NA through ANP. In a recent interview Shahi Syed, President Sindh ANP, claimed that in the last 4 years he reached 80% of these Pukhtuns to convince them to make ID cards and Votes to claim their Political & Economic rights. This new encroachment of ANP over MQM power is causing fury in the circles of MQM and so is the violence. And yes both parties should stop the violence against each other but the burden lies on MQM to accept the new political reality and concede some power to Pukhtuns to run Karachi. that is it.
MQM and ANP should leave the politics of violence. If Talibans can be raided based on their extremist policies and violent activities, then why not same stern actions could be taken against terrorists of Karachi. Where are state apparatus, when will they wake up from their deep sleep? When will this pseudo reconciliation will be ended by President Zardari. All terrorists are non Sindhi in Karachi who are unleashing violence and making this land of sufis and peace dirty. Pls stop this dirty game of violence on our land otherwise leave our land.
Reconciliation flares up from time to time to burn and kill the Karachiites
Blame game is no bloody option. Where in the hell is Federal Government. You have police to beat unarmed nurses, where is it now.
MQM ANP and PPP!!! Please STOP this nonsense!!
Do both parties not realise that they are being played and with all this destruction after each incident the people of Karachi are suffering. Since they are the 2largest parties representing the majority of the cities population why can't they join forces to thwart these people from their nefarious designs and make Karachi peaceful and prosperous again.
This is what happens when the people, the media, the politicians and even the judiciary only mind the NRO corruption cases and ignore the NRO murder and criminal cases!
Karachi is a mess because the people, the media, the politicians and even the judiciary has ignored and paid no heed to NRO murder and criminal cases; In order to achieve peace in the future, these cases need to be opened, investigated thoroughly, launch strategic operations where necessary and do not let any political party or criminal shield themselves with any ethnicity or false propaganda.
Let's hope and pray peace returns soon. But it must be peace with justice. Anybody who thinks people can settle for peace without receiving justice is fooling himself or herself.
Stuck in office, cant leave. The roads are jammed and law and order situation?
I belong to an urdu speaking family who migrated from India and I have spent most of my life in Karachi. I am not a supporter of ANP but the reason ANP is popular among pathans these days is due to the aggressive behaviour of MQM in Karachi that forced pathans to grouped together against them. I can only appeal to sensible people of Karachi that don't let hatred to plague your mind and soul.
i want to ask 1 thing though i not pakistan
why everytime Unknown people s had opened fire everytime
no cctv cameras from where this unkown people come
@Much Amused: MQM has a habit of blaming others for their own acts
now MQM and ANP should understand the game
Now MQM and ANP should understand the game if they are political parties
Tit for tat - human life has no significance. What is important to these political parties is their personal agendas; damn with Karachi or Pakistan.
I have a feeling that RAW could be behind this to ignite an ethnic war in Karachi between two political parties.
@Pakistan politics: You mean the other way round?
Now MQM will blame this on ANP
Nazimabad is Lasbela area? ET, please hire people who are familiar with Karachi's neighborhoods.
