All of this is propoganda line of MQM. If Mohajirs were being discriminated or not allowed equal access, then they will not come to build their largest concentration in Karachi and be the largest workforce in Sindh government. Traditionally, in other country refugeed are always settled in far away camps or at under previllaged localities and new districts are raised exclusively for them. Now we can all understand the reason why. Look at the Palestinians in Jordan, they were not handed the nation trade capital on a silver platter. And when they rioted, King Hussien had no problem calling tanks against them. Things messed up after Butto and all people of Pakistan suffered out of that not just mohajirs alone. People of second generation which were born in Sindh did not consider themselves mohajirs, the false slogan was raised by MQM under false pretext which has resulted in isolation of millions..Sindhi waderas hating mohajirs, yes there might be few but they are not a majority. Atleast not one I have seen, they always say wadda sayee aap humara mehman ho. Waderas are mostly agricultural people, they might have come to hate them due to MQM extortion on their agricultural produce exports or may be Altaf anti-fedual slogans.
In Karachi nearly 80% of the workforce is see is Mohajir but altaf bogus propoganda claims that mohajirs get only 2% of the job. This is akin to nothing but facism and his wishes of minority ruling the majority. Why does he think that his lot is entitled to everything on a silver platter. Quota system is enforce for government employment in Pakistan. Governments all over the world enforces measures to secure public employment rights for indigenous people of the given areas. Otherwise riots will occur. Maintaining a fair representation of all ethnicities in public sector in important. After all, government does not prove 100% employment to all its citizen. There are business, private sector, self employes, etc etc. Therefore, MQM made up propaganda has no valid base.
Picking up weapons for job security is neither sane nor justifiable by any means. The government of Pakistan is still light handed on the issue otherwise it is for the world to see what happened to Palestinean "Mohajirs" in Jordan and Lebanon who wanted to take over on the basis of their "supposed" suffrage. Many of those were second generation who actually never saw the 1948 conflict expect reading about it in fairy tales. People when they cause nuisance are a disturbance to social order regardless of their qualification. And most of the MQM lot is garnered from the extreme poor and uneducated masses of society, these people in either case are not qualified for jobs anyway. In your own words, the means (violence) they chose and their slogan (mohajir) were a blunder on their part. This automatically sheds their myth of academic superiority. Such foolish behavior are not the traits of educated people. I cannot understand that people who are not even civilized enough to choose proper means for presenting their point of view should be complaining about not having adequate jobs in government sector? And after all why compete only for the government sector??? Isnt there is a fledgling private sector too in Pakistan, especially in the economic capital - Karachi? Most of the private enterprise in Karachi has been forced to flee toward Punjab or KP due to Altaf and his extortion gang and now they talk about unemployment, How self contradictory??
Ever wonder why public / government sector is so incompetent everywhere in the world? Because government hires based on lot of factors other than academic qualification. One of that factor is ethnicity and proportionate workforce representation. Everyheard of programs like Saudization, Emaratization, Anti-H1B coalition, American Jobs for Americans first?
As a business owner, one is entitled to hire whom I see fit as per my need.
Punjabi, Pashtun, Memon don't identity themselves as mohajirs. Memons are those who are terribly sick of MQM. Sadar area of Karachi is full with slogans of MQM vs Memons. MQM has done nothing but extortion from Memon trading community so many have shifted their business to UAE, Sri Lanka and Bahrain. This is the mentality of MQM and its followers, they are self-appointed self-righteous leaders. Altaf likes to give an impression like he is the mafia don of Karachi and every household is personally ruled by him.
The situation of karachities is like that of a man being rap_d in prison from behind. He knows the aggressive and stronger will impose their will so if you cannot stop it, just enjoy it. He tries to minimize the damage by being complaint. That doesnt change the fact that he is still being rap_d and his dignity is still being splintered.
He should offer him mental treatment as well as alcoholic treatment.
Its been 63 years since partition..we need to bury the past along with the myth and false identity of called "mohajirs" created by MQM thugs. We all are Pakistanis and belong to the land where we are born. And dig adjacent graves for ZM, SS, Altaf and Zardari.
The main cause of bloodshed in Karachi has nothing to do with minority rights or anything. It all about shadow economy and nobody has their hands clean. Karachi is not improving until it is declared a politically neutral zone.
And a request for all those who want to debate, kindly present facts and figures instead of repeating blind party lines.
