Calling for Intervention for PROTECTION is different thing then asking different country all together. They have right to exist until they are Legal Entity in Pakistan and when they cant get any help Internally within the country they would look outside so bear with it.
No. They don't need any protection. They have the right to exist but have no right to keep a militant wing. This protection drama won't get you people far. The only protection you need is from the criminals within your own party.
It has always been difference of opinion as BB was quite liberal leader and she use to complain alot about our establishment's attitude as well so there is a difference of opinion exist within. Karachi has been hub of Liberal forces in last 30 years in the form of PPP, MQM and ANP while RWP has always remain most Conservative part of Pakistan so there is a difference of Mindset that influence Decision making. So far we are observing actions against PP and MQM while not much has been done against those ASWJ types who operates from Punjab region and our establishment is calling it Across the Board. Heck even Lal Masjid Molvi is still roaming freely around Peshawar and Islamabad along with his goons who would brought him to Justice???Where is Model Town Culprits????This pick and choose Justice wont work if Army is interested then clear the mess in their Backyard as well SIMULTANEOUSLY.
This has, yet again, nothing to do with liberalism or conservatism. It doesn't matter who BB used to complain about, at the end of the day it was the avarice of her own husband and 'liberal' party politicians that got her killed.
As for across the board, before you people were crying that PPP is not being targeted and that MQM is the only one - we used to hear constant rhetoric and ranting about there being no raids against Zardari and so on. Now you're crying that it's only PPP and MQM and not 'Conservative' parties.
An ASWJ leader ,along with a few dozen of their supporters,was arrested in a raid recently - and this ASWJ made the exact same victimization drama as MQM did, they say the exact same things: that 'we're the only ones being targeted', 'rangers aren't arresting those who attack us' and so on.
When everyone cries that they're the only ones being targeted, when everyone is trying to push a victimization narrative - we can be damn sure the operation is across the board.
As for the Lal Masjid, you have to understand that the forces are stretched very thin and that it is impractical to take action everywhere simultaneously, especially when this action can result in massive instability. The forces will need to be prepared and not occupied with other things before they can mess with that bee hive.
It will take a while, but eventually it will be the turn of Lal Masjid as well.
There is no ''pick and choose justice''. Only ''I want to cover my eyes and scream victimization because I can't accept being subjected to justice'' on part of MQM.
First this is not the invitation for intervention ... But if you insist then MQM is not the first ... Earlier PPP, PMLN, JI and many other parties had used foreign influence to get relief ... Why don't you say them traitor too...?????
''Use your offices to stop our Law Enforcement authorities'' sounds very much like an invitation, nay, a request for intervention.
As for other parties, I do call them traitors. JI is full of traitors, traitors who used to oppose the founders of Pakistan and who continued to sow seeds of treachery until the nation had to reap the result of those seeds in the form of terrorism and militancy. But are they,
right now, asking for foreign intervention? No.
The only two parties screaming and shouting right now are PPP and MQM.
Today's PPP is nothing more than a bunch of traitorous and murderous thieves. I'd be celebrating once this party is finished and buried, an certain outcome of what's happening nowadays. Zardari's days are numbered.
PMLN? They're currently co-operating with the Army and Law Enforcement - for their own selfish interest, no doubt, but as of now, they're being good enough to be tolerable. Of course, they still do have that mafia of a police force, the Punjab Police, as their militant wing - but that's nothing that can't be fixed once Karachi and FATA are cleaned up.
Now, does any of this justify the actions of your MQM and it's criminal elements?
No. Not at all.
