As an Urdu speaker, I am happy that this filthy toad is finally being sidelined. Oh, the horror of it that I once supported him from about 1984-1988 but then I realized that MQM was 'feudal' in its own ways--an urban, 'middle class' feudal, but feudal nonetheless.
To fell Urdu Speakers: Altaf is even worse than Achakzais or Zardaris or even the Bugtis. This guy is simply a drunkard who knows that he himself is well physically protected and can get away with anything. And, above all, Altaf has painted the most educated, the most prosperous of all Pakistani communities into a corner--he has made us suspects!
But we say, loud and clear: Altaf does not speak for us! And we say even louder: PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!
