Rabbani | 9 years ago | Reply Completely agree with Bash gulf. MQM is a cancer, a mafia, a bunch of desi wannabe Al Capones. I fully endorse the army's action against these snakes. Reign them in forever. De-weaponize Karachi and show MQM what happens when you invoke the wrath of the state.

bash gul | 9 years ago | Reply This man should be hanged high. He spills venom all the time. These mafia style bosses are leading the innocent urdu speaking people into the Arabian Sea. These leaders will fly out of this country to some Latin American country where they have hoarded their ill gotten wealth. Tighen the noose. Hats off to the Rangers. Thank you Gen Raheel Sharif.

Javaid | 9 years ago | Reply A brave, courageous and daunting leader cannot be suppressed by such baseless and biased cases. Salute to Wasim Akhtar for his continuous and open support with MQM.

NKAli | 9 years ago | Reply Wasim Akhter's behaviour is questionable and tardy. Some years back TV showed him entering the National Assembly wearing jeans and joggers. Some years later PMLN's Ahsan Iqbal and Wasim Akhter got into verbal sparring, after which a prominent analyst commented that both political pugilists should be sent home. That is correct!!! And now we have a case for inciting public to violence. Respected ET, at least take the trouble of publishing the event that led to this case. Many times times your news articles lack the essence of a subject. Sorry! Salaams

Tariq Shahid | 9 years ago | Reply Now the cat is out of the bag.We have made our law a hoax. Injustice against MQM throughout Pakistan. It will not harm MQM but our LEA's and it's credibility.
