Explainer: Raid MQM Headquarter 90

[Shibli Noman]

Media does not take sides

The media’s job is to report and expose the truth about anyone who is detouring from the path without fear. And it does not take anyone’s side.

Pakistan’s situation is very delicate and the media has to work under a lot of constraint but it is doing this difficult job with a lot of effort.

People don’t understand that the Pakistan media faces a lot of issues. But still reporters manage to get the news, even putting their lives at risk. And therefore it is not fair that many channels are accused of working for the government or working against a specific political party.

For example the Rangers’ raid on MQM’s headquarters 90 in Karachi. The media is highlighting both sides of the situation, giving the Rangers’ raid coverage and relevant information, as well as giving MQM’s side of the story by covering the party’s activities and leaders a lot of airtime.

Unfortunately, mischief-makers are making a lot of noise against channels for taking sides. One set of critics say that so and so channel is supporting the MQM and is against the Rangers and vice versa. When this is far from the truth, channels are trying to give both sides as much coverage as they possibly can.

It is time the viewer understood this and moved on from this petty bickering and grumbling and focused on the content being provided to them.

I said Morally Corrupt, and your terrorist activities we seen in Dharna Sharna episode Do I paste some links again to bring back some flash ups?

Yea, go ahead. I dare you to post the terrorist activities of PTI. I'll respond in kind by sharing terrorist activities of MQM.

Everything will be in front of everyone regarding PTI and MQM, then we'll see who is more evil. Ready?

Explainer: Why the MQM raid was conducted today and what it means for Karachi's security - The Express Tribune
Rangers raid on 90 raised a lot of questions about it's creditability and out comes, our security agencies gain something Plus regarding city's security? I personally don't think so! The alleged weapons and fugitives found there seems to me a planed one the reasons are:-
1. Rangers itself lose it's all credibility and respect among majority of karachiets, they allegedly involved in various of illegals activities being staying in Karachi for almost 25 years.
2. To get in 90 day or night you have to go through number of check points from miles away for security reasons, the in charge can't stop Rangers to go in BUT they can inform the insiders to CLEAN UP the things ( if there really something illegal ) The officials at 90 was not much in tension or took it serious seems like they were CLEAN. It's not a big problem for our securities to FIND out weapons from anywhere! Same goes to fugitives, in dozens of vehicles two or three already arrested fugitives can be bring to show a dramatic discovery
3. What MQM gain or lost after this raid? MQM lose nothing just another effort to defaming party''a name and they are used to be for it, but thanks for little favor by agencies to not discovering another Jinnah Pur map Pary II or torches cells etc
4. MQM oppositely gain much after this raid, the sympathizers and die hard members showed their full support in AH telephonic address and in funeral if Waqas Shah allegedly killed by rangers firing, the slogan of JIE Muhajir Rises again which showing their argerness towards haters, much worrying me the trend from M.Qoumi Movement to again Muhajir Qoumi Movement is alarming one.
Single out MQM only in the city
Just a bad idea and raised a lot of questions. Let's see what more come out from this.

there is nothing wrong in believing it brother.

 

[Patriots]

And lakh di lanat on justification about Rangers bringing truck load of weapons. You are as delusional as Altaf bhai is. Do you know at what time Security guards duty changes at 9-0 ?

Merey bacchay mafiya !! Do you know what is the procedure to conducting a raid on some high profile destination .......

 

[Gazi]

There is no other but one plan " We are not happy to see MQM emerge as an National level party " from past few years MQM trying successfully to make strong appearance out side Sind and specially Punjab and someone really don't want it happen, there three top leaders killed in Punjab and a serial of allegations one after one If rangers are really serious about Karachi security they have to focus on other elements also! We know which mafia behind water tanks distribution we know who behind drug mafia land mafia. MQM was violent in 80's and the reasons are open wide. The Karachi situation is like a pressure cooker in which establishment cooking very fishy and everyone waiting for it's explosion, Allah na kare if it's explode and before that someone open that cooker to release the pressure.

For rest of Pakistan its like few Political Elites that are Judge, Jury and Executioner of whatever happen in their Home Constituency. When MQM is clean along with City of Karachi they can present their message without any problem and without any worries about Controversies they could face in Karachi because in the past we have observed as soon as they try to make inroad to Punjab and Announce Jalsa some of their Important Members like top leadership or even MPAs are Taken out in Target Killing and they end up announcing Youm-e-Soug that gives wrong message and the whole Jalsa is Sabotaged before it happen. This whole thing would going to end up with good faith for them because besides most Karachiite Military establishment is also one of those who understands the importance of well structured enterprise and how good it could serve people that is what actually is happening. They are trying to cleanse Karachi and MQM both at the same time so that neither MQM had any image problem nor need much to worry about Sabotages within the City. As for your point regarding other Mafias then their are just confined to certain spots which can be taken out quite easily because these Spots are easier to Surround once things started clearing up in Major Parts of City those Mafias would become Childs Play for Rangers.

app tou na hi bolen tou acha hai fake degree holder leaders fake cult and most mortally corrupt IK, Sharm mager hamen nahi ati.

In pay time Zia Karnay say acha hai constructive discussion may involve hojain. Bhai Abhi shayad in PTI k Tuchoon ko pata bhi nahi hai k aglay Election mai MQM sirf Sympathies ki madad say kaisay Saaf karti hai PTI ko Karachi say. abhi kuch hi dinoon k baad NA246 pay Elections hain dekhtay hain PTI ko kitnay Vote Parhtay hain.

Good work Rangers.......this isnt a political party, it's a band of THUGS

the people of Karachi (the non mafia ones) will be grateful

I just don't understand, Rangers have every evidence against Mqm, so why political activity of this party is not halted by state yet. if this much amount of weapons and target killer would have been found in a head office of any other religious party then that would have been banned straight forward. But its really hard to digest what state have given special status to political thugs and terrorist of political parties. It seems like Pakistan army have special corner for Mqm, and If that the case , if PPP and Mqm is allowed to have G-3 , M4 etc with license then why it is prohibited for other political parties. why army have shown too much calmness in case of Karachi?

Rangers cant go this far because the REACTION of such move would be unimaginable as MQM does have thousands of Loyal Supporters who support MQM to the point of Fanaticism which was observed in the raid when Rangers Voluntarily had to leave the area abandoning their Plans of Sealing Nine Zero and if you observed this Wednesday then whole Karachi was actually CLOSED despite of all Assurances and Guarantees by Rangers for Protection and their Urge to open them this proves that they cant control things that is out of their Hands. Halting Party's Activity is one of them.

Karachiite are still Questioning the whole motive here because their are so many other Mafias in Karachi which are way worse then what MQM is but none of them have received any Severe Blow till yet and are still managing their Position with Ease. If you think another Step against MQM would help the case then think again because MQM has already gained so much Sympathies in Karachi within hours of this raid which was taking Years of efforts by other Parties to take away from them and more actions means more Sympathies. This is something that has happened in 1990s when MQM was hit so severely that they were on the run but bounce back despite in Elections held next year same thing is happening now as well so dont expect Rangers can control Emotions or Opinions they are just here for their Law Enforcement Duties not to rule or Control Karachi.

 

[Patriotism]

Brilliant Rangers keep it up constantly

 

[My-Analogous]

Ranger issue report (Publically) about MQM raid. Can Rangers do that?. They are Govt institution and they can't release its report to normal public. what's is cooking?. If they do so then they should issue Layari report first. ARY showing these report. Ranger must act like a professional and don't involve in politics and it will ruin everything. Report is always issues to concerned department and not to the public. I am sure this will go in favour of MQM

 

[ice_man]

MQM will black mail the government and get away.

these target killers will escape sadly. only one way we need a leader with SPINE WHO CAN REALLY DO A TRUE AND SINCERE OPERATION AGAINST MQM & ALL CRIMINAL ELEMENTS of PAKISTAN.

^ media itself in Pakistan a big problem, Jis ki Lathi uski bhains is work in Pakistan, name any institution I give you the example of it

media takes the side of MQM bhai otherwise they die like WALI BABAR.

MEDIA people reporters live in streets that are controlled by MQM.

SO MEDIA is on the side of MQM. they can't show live PM or president address if ALTAF BHAI starts his telephonic baqwaas.

Rangers have been provided the mandate to act against any criminal element or political party which supports criminal activities in Karachi.Most of Karachi'ite have supported rangers raid at Nine zero , just a segment of a specific ethnic group belongs to specific areas having linkage with the party against which rangers have raided have spoken and reacted against ranger's act, most of areas around the city were not closed and transport was available on that day although people were terrified, shopkeepers were standing outside of their shops but were panicked to open their shops, and still were seeking for a chance to open it if Mqm thugs are not targeting them, A shopkeeper will always avoid any conflict with Mqm terrorists . Mqm can't react practically because now they don't have the number if it comes to fanaticism lovers. Now in the end, Altaf bhai have directly started to threatening Rangers of dire consequences. But i really want them to at least try to hurt rangers because I believe that then rangers will hit back them with more force which Mqm can't able to endure.

If Karachiite are supporting Rangers operation at Nine Zero whole Heatedly as claimed then why didnt they open their Businesses after Complete Assurances and Guarantees from Rangers?Those shop keepers standing in front of their Shops were standing there in the presence of Rangers themselves who announced all kind of Protection Guarantees to them but still they didnt open their shops, why?The reason was they live far from the markets and there was no Public Transport available so that is why they were just Standing there figuring out a way to get home as they dont trust Rangers so called Protections to open their Shops. Even you admit MQM cant React then still Business was closed despite of no Reaction capability from MQM speaks for itself either People doesnt Trust Rangers or they are all MQM Supporters. Now you decide what is the Reason but for me people dont Trust Rangers is Valid Reason because MQM support is strong but not that Strong that all Markets in a city like Karachi is close down for them.

As I mentioned , not all markets were closed, but the psychological damage that business community have gone through during past years make them to avoid any conflict from Mqm thugs, and even protection guarantee from rangers is not enough , i think its a strong massage to rangers that guarantee wont matters until every single thug of Mqm is free, It is complete risk to open markets, only single political call could end this operation and those terrorists might get free again, then another target killing campaign will start and non of shopkeeper would want to be killed by them or at worst abduct by them, that is why they easily paying money to extortionists of Mqm to avoid any such conflict which they can't afford. That is why I'm calling for ban. state must act strongly otherwise they will fail to regain the confidence of business community , its much greater exam for army then operation in north waziristan.

Please tell me the names of Markets that were open at least?There is no Psychological Damages here because Rangers are here in the streets for last 30 Years started with MQM and in this period they never faced any huge resistance from MQM instead last time they faced any Resistance was from Lyari Gangsters who use Rocket Launchers against their Muhafiz APCs and Rangers had to ran away from the area that is why Rangers havent got much Progress to show in Lyari and are preferring Softer Target like MQM which wont be able to gave any Resistance. Their success and their Failure of 30 years are very evident to Karachiite and the trust Deficit are there because Rangers Capabilities to handle the pressure is still Questionable. 80% of Karachi has MQM Majority support base and in every area their are substantial number who support them Fanatically so neither Rangers have enough man power nor enough Strength to keep whole Karachi in order because if they clear one area other would get disturbed and the cycle continue till Rangers give up. MQM has Thousands of Workers working within their different Chains and many are innocent people and due to Waqas Shah's incident their option is limited in taking out MQM completely instead stick to Criminal Elements only.
