They are willing to submit to the state but the state is also being governed by the very people who told them to be anti-state previously, gave them weapons to fight MQM. Now that PPP and state have aligned their interest they are going after anti-MQM factions of Lyari. It is messed up but if the group is still willing to submit to at least some authority of the state (that it trusts, i.e. Army) what is the harm of ending this feud today by sending in the Army?
Unless of course the party that runs the state is afraid of what all may come out if Balochs and the other individuals are taken in alive. The idea here by the PPP is to not let anyone come out of this alive.
I agree that no one should fight with the state and the only reason I am speaking for them in this case is that they have started the discussion by sayin gthey want to submit to the state but to a particular institution they trust.
1) By allowing terrorists the liberty to choose their own preferred LEA, sorry the Military instead of any LEA what precedent do you want to set for the country and all other terrorists/criminals?
2) Should terrorists, and by definition of the word, criminals who have terrorized Liyari and overall Karachi for the past 20 years be allowed to go scott free just because they have advanced weapons to fight with?
3) Who are these criminals with money on their heads? Are they law abiding citizens or are they elements of the society who have been involved in drugs, weapons, land grabbing, kidnappings, murders, extortion, kidnappings, bomb blasts and grenade attacks etc.? What do civilized countries do with such criminals?
4) So PPP is going after anti MQM elements in Liyari despite these elements being die hard PPP supporters? So your logic tells you that PPP is going after her own die hard loyalists just because if MQM? Hmmm......
5) Before you continue with more such posts, let me tell you what is going on because living abroad there's only so much you can really get from GEO. Uzair Baloch wants to be nominated the PPP representative for the NA seat in Liyari but the seat has always been contested by top most PPP leadership such as Bhutto, Benazir and Nabeel Gabol. It is expected that Bilawal will run from this constituency next time.
6) Peoples Aman Committee was formed by Zulfiqar Mirza primarily against MQM and Karachi overall. The aim was to bring the baddest of the bad under 1 umbrella that would be protected by PPP and Home Department. PAC attracted hardened criminals from Liyari gang wars, Haqiqi, ANP and some banned religious parties as they were provided immunity from law by Zulfiqar Mirza.
7) PAC gradually started flexing muscles and started a tsunami of extortion, blackmail, terrorism, executions, kidnappings etc. that sent Karachi in chaos multiple times over. It forced the Business community in Karachi to take up matters with MQM/PPP leadership. The extreme terrorism of PAC eventually led to the fall of Zulfiqar Mirza and after him PPP tried her best to control PAC. But the criminals, now too big even for PPP, kept up their terrorism which eventually led to this operation. There was no other option for PPP.
8) Good thing, you were never captured by any of these 'criminals with rights' as they wouldn't have awarded you any. Best leave the real analysis to us, people who live in Karachi!
layari operation was done because of MQM and rehman malik ,because baloch of layari were protesting against the americans for Salala check post and these baloch were in favour of pakistan army ....and balochon ne american flag hataya tha american consulate se & Pakistani flag host kiya tha, and due to this harkat nei pori ANTI-Pakistan forces k hosh oradiye thei, q k uno nei Balocho ko Pakistan se nafrat karwane k liye bhot funding ki thi & wo sari nakam hogai & is se show howa k Baloch Pro Pakistan hei, so thats why its a punish from ppp & mqm & all american funded parties for peoples of Liyari!
Layari operation was done because of MQM, and not because these criminals were terrorizing Karachi, and not because they are armed to the teeth with heavy and illegal weapons, not because these criminals were involved in extortion, kidnappings etc. Hmm.....ok.
For the other readers of this thread, these are not even Baloch in reality, they are Makrani....Ask a baloch, any real Baloch and they will deny any lineage with Makranis! Just a point to consider when reading the post about Americans and Baluch and what not!
It seems that nobody exactly know what is going on in Lyari. I watched a political show last night on a TV channel in which, among others, Uzair Baloch and Sharmeela Farooqi were also invited. After watching that show I have now more faith in the words uttered by Uzair Baloch than in the verbal Diarrohea of Sharmeela Farooqi and all her ilk. One question remains: Once this operation is over, will Uzair Baloch and his "saathis" take out one by one every single police officer involved in this operation, à la MQM?
I would support OB and his supporters to take out all police officers of this operation, like MQM, if the police officers were involved in kidnappings and extrajudicial murders of innocents and their family members. However, if the criminals are being targeted then I am quite saddened at your thinking.
