Can you find any relevance between the situation in Karachi during Musharraf's rule and this PPP one and now Mr.Nawaz ?
The quick answer is ' No ' . Musharraf didn't arm and strengthen MQM , he controlled and put a leash of them and made them govern the city hence you saw the development that happened during his period . Why Musharraf though chose to be with MQM and not the Mullahs ? Because the party despite being involved in various criminal and terrorist activities is still to a large extent liberal and secular . Here , it maybe interesting to note that MQM is just a part of problem , it isn't the whole problem in itself despite being a major factor in the prevailing lawlessness in the city today , there are other factors too .
No , the party chose to boycott the elections , remember ?
