Pakistani President Seeks To Drown Mounting Opposition In Blood
By Vilani Peiris, 16 May, 2007
http://countercurrents.org/peiris160507.htm
Karachi, a city of 10 million and Pakistan's commercial hub, was
convulsed by gun-battles Saturday, as Pakistan's US-backed military
strongman, President Pervez Musharraf, resorted to deadly violence in
a bid to quash the growing popular challenge to his rule.
According to press reports, at least 36 people were killed and more
than 140 injured when thugs allied with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement
(MQM), a pro-Musharraf party, attacked crowds gathering to show
support for the country's "suspended" Chief Justice, Iftikhar Muhammad
Chaudhry.
In March, Musharraf moved to have Chaudhry stripped of his post as
head of Pakistan's Supreme Court on trumped-up corruption charges.
Chaudhry, like the rest of Pakistan's top judges, has a long record of
giving a judicial fig-leaf to Musharraf's anti-democratic and
unconstitutional actions, including the 1999 coup in which he seized
power. But Chaudhry recently issued a number of rulings, including
striking down the privatization of Pakistan Steel Mills, that cut
across the government's agenda and caused Musharraf to conclude he
could not rely on Chaudhry to provide a judicial blessing for his
stage-managed "re-election" as president later this fall.
On the evening of Friday, May 11, the MQM blockaded the main arteries
into Karachi with trucks, buses, and containers. The next morning
thousands of MQM activists armed with sticks roamed Karachi's streets
warning lawyers, who had invited Chaudhry to address the Sindh High
Court Bar Association, and opposition activists, who were intending to
greet the suspended chief justice, to stay in their homes.
But with all the major opposition parties-including the Pakistan
People's Party, the Pakistan Muslim League, the Awami National Party
and the six-member alliance of Islamic fundamentalist parties (the MMA)
-endorsing the call to greet Chaudhry, thousands took to the streets
in defiance of the MQM threats and a massive mobilization of security
forces.
An AP reporter says he saw MQM supporters firing at crowds of
protesters from buildings in Karachi's Golden Town district and some
among the anti-Musharraf demonstrators firing back. A second major
clash, including an exchange of gunfire and the setting ablaze of
buses and motor vehicles, occurred at Malir Hal, where Musharraf
opponents came face to face with those on the way to an MQM-counter
rally.
Although the authorities had mobilized some 16,000 security personnel,
they did nothing to stop the MQM attacks. Some newspapers are
reporting that the security personnel were specifically ordered not to
intervene. A low-ranking policeman told the Daily Times, "There were
some orders and our weapons were taken from us. It was as if we were
put here just to watch."
Over the past two months security forces have repeatedly roughed up
journalists covering protests against Musharraf's attempt to oust
Chaudhry. On Saturday, MQM thugs assumed this role. The private Aaj
television channel showed pictures of its office under fire.
Journalist Talat Hussain told BBC, "We are under attack. We have seen
no security force. No one has come to help us."
As intended, the violence forced Chaudhry to abandon his plan to speak
before the Sindh High Court Bar Association. After waiting in an
airport lounge for nine hours, he returned to Islamabad.
The MQM's counter-rally, however, went ahead unimpeded.
The MQM, which has a long history of political violence, claims to
represent the mohajirs, Urdu-speakers who moved to Pakistan from north
India when the subcontinent was divided on communal lines in 1947-48.
It controls Karachi's city government and is part of pro-Musharraf
coalition governments nationally and in Sindh, the southern province
of which Karachi is the capital.
By contracting out the bloody suppression of Saturday's protest in
Karachi to the MQM, Musharraf hopes to be able to deny responsibility
and avoid bringing further public opprobrium on the military.
But this is a transparent ruse.
Speaking from behind a massive bullet-proof enclosure to a government
rally in Islamabad Saturday evening, Musharraf laid full blame for the
bloody events in Karachi on the opposition, while holding up the MQM's
rally as evidence of the popular support for this regime.
Musharraf claimed to be shocked and grieved by the numbers of dead and
wounded, then proclaimed, "But what has happened today in Karachi is
because of the chief justice who went there ignoring the advice of the
government over the issue." The president, who doubles as head of
Pakistan's armed forces, then made a thinly-veiled threat of further
violence, saying that the gun-battles in Karachi were the result of
the obstinacy of the opposition. "If they think they are powerful,
then they should know that the people's power is with us."
Musharraf also made an appeal to Pakistan's lawyers, who have
spearheaded the protests over Chaudhry's suspension. In a reference to
the government's recent reversal of its opposition to the suspended
chief justice's demand that the Supreme Court as a whole hear the
corruption allegations against him, Musharraf declared, "Now that the
full court will be deciding the issue, the lawyers' fraternity should
stop protesting and stop playing into the hands of some disgruntled
and unwise people."
Musharraf's speech was also significant in that he confirmed that he
intends to have the legislators now sitting in Pakistan's provincial
and national assemblies re-elect him to a five year-term this fall,
even though these legislators were chosen in an election in 2002 that
was manipulated by the military. Such a procedure is in flagrant
violation of the constitution as is Musharraf's continuing to serve as
both president and Chief of Pakistan's Armed Services.
Musharraf said, "After a few months, I will be contesting for the
second term in office and then [i.e. after he has been returned as
president] the elections of the national and provincial assemblies
will be held."
Musharraf denied press reports that he will soon declare a state of
emergency, claiming that the people are with him. But on Sunday,
Interior Secretary Syed Kamal Shah was reported to have said that the
government has authorized paramilitary troops to shoot anyone involved
in serious violence. The Sindh government, meanwhile, has invoked an
old British colonial statute, Section 144, to ban all political
gatherings.
Washington has said nothing about last weekend's violence in Karachi.
But in recent weeks, top Bush administration officials have voiced
strong support for Musharraf and lauded him as a staunch US ally in
the "war on terror" and a democrat.
The strength of the protests against Musharraf's attempt to sack the
chief justice took the opposition by surprise. While the opposition
parties have for years been promising to mount a "final struggle"
against the Musharraf regime, they all in fact have an ambivalent
relationship with Musharraf and Pakistan's military. The opposition
parties are terrified that a confrontation with Musharraf could
provide an opening for the entry of Pakistan's toiling masses into
political struggle.
The MMA remains the government of North West Frontier Province and in
a coalition government with the pro-Musharraf PML (Q) in Baluchsitan.
Benazir Bhutto, the PPP's leader for life, has recently publicly
admitted that she is involved in backroom talks with the government
aimed at reaching an accommodation with the Musharraf. As part of
these maneuvers, the PPP leadership had been holding meetings with
International Republican Institute, an arm of the US Republican Party.

MQM apologises for attack, firing on Aaj TV
ZAHEER ABBASI
ISLAMABAD (May 15 2007): The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has
apologised for attack and firing on Aaj Television and manhandling of
some media men on May 12 in Karachi, whereas the Pakistan Federal
Union of Journalists (PFUJ) demanded judicial inquiry into the
incident.
Speaking at the news conference here on Monday, Parliamentary leader
of the MQM in the National Assembly Farooq Sattar, flanked by MNA
Haider Abbas Rizvi and Dr Amir Liaquat Hussain, said: "I assure you on
behalf of the Sindh government that all the damages, burnt motorcycle
and vehicles, TV cameras and what else it may be, will be compensated
to Aaj, CNBC and KTN."
Meanwhile, the PFUJ that took out a protest rally in front of
Parliament House against attacks on media, demanded judicial inquiry
into the attack and firing on Aaj TV.
To protest against the assault on freedom of press in Karachi on
Saturday May 12, half of the journalists press conference while
standing and rest of by sitting on the floor, refusing chairs.
Dr Farooq Sattar said it was responsibility of the Sindh government to
provide protection to media men and Aaj TV channel in the wake of
cross firing and riots in the city.
As protest against an open assault on freedom of press in Karachi on
May 12, half of the journalists covered the event standing and other
by sitting squatted on floor, refusing chairs.
However, he conceded the fact that the Sindh government, law-
enforcement agencies, and the administration did nothing when the Aaj
office was being attacked and fired at.
Whatever may be the reasons, he said it was the provincial
government's responsibility to ensure law and order and provide
security when an outcry was made. "Hence I apologise on behalf of both
the provincial government and the party", he said.
It is worth mentioning that at the outset of the press conference the
journalists put up four demands as pre-condition. These included the
MQM should extend an unconditional apology from Aaj Television
particular and other journalists in general, pay compensation for
losses, assurance that such incidents would not be repeated in future
and action against any of the MQM activist if proved involved in
attacking and firing on Aaj television.
Farooq Sattar accepting the demands said the Sindh government would
ensure that such incidents of attacking journalists and media
organisations are not repeated in future and also announced on behalf
of the Sindh government compensation for the damages.
Mushtaq Minhas, president, Rawalpindi-Islamabad Press Club, while
addressing the PFUJ rally said that journalists would continue to
fulfil its national and professional responsibility to present truth
and facts to the readers and viewers.
A delegation of Pakistan Writer Forum (PWF) led by Ahmed Faraz, and
parliamentarians of both the alliance - Alliance for Restoration of
Democracy (ARD) and Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) - also expressed
solidarity with the journalists.
Ahmed Faraz, in his brief speech, said that democracy and press could
not flourish under the dictatorship. Afzal ***, president, Rawalpindi-
Islamabad Union of Journalist (RIUJ) described the attack on AAJ TV as
an assault on the freedom of expression.

BE "SALARIED", NOT A SMALL MISTAKE BY SOMEONE AUTHORING A BOOK.
A MORE ACCURATE TERM IS BHAIYYA OR URDA AND INCLUDES BOTH THE

THE DISGUISED EAST PUNJABI MOHAJIRS OF PUNJAB. SPECIMENS OF THE

EMPLOYEE. SPECIMENS OF THE LATTER ARE GENERAL ZIA-UL-HOAX, AND
ABDUL QADEER KHAN. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT OUR OWN SON OF THE
SOIL, AND TRULY CREATIVE NOBEL LAUREATE WAS NOT GIVEN THE PATRONAGE
IN HIS OWN COUNTRY BY BHAIYYA WHO WERE AFRAID OF ANY PUNJABI
EXCELLING.
THEY ALWAYS SELECT MEDIOCRE PUNJABIS OVER COMPETENT ONES TO DENY US
THE INFLUENCE AND GOOD NAME THAT WE SHOULD HAVE AS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE
AND SACRIFICING SEGMENT OF PAKISTANI POPULATION. ABDUS SALAM IS AN
EXAMPLE.

If powell does not have a financial package to write off debt, declareReally! I was always under the impression that it was the "Mohajjirs"
bankruptcy now. mushy is going to lose support very soon. Every one is
going to say that this mohajjir who although is patron of rabita trust
to bring in bihari terrorists, and is involved in the interest of urdu
speaking bhaiyya elite has done nothing for the interest of the common
people of punjab, pakhtunkhwa, sindh, and baluchistan. Even the terrorist
MQM/Altaf hussain who is involved in the murder of 4 british or americans,
reference 9/11 column of ardeshir cowasjee, is allied with mushy's stance
which has not brought any real relief to pakistan. it is the mohajjir
elite who stole the loan money and it is this elite which must get the
loans written off. It is this urdu speaking bhaiyya elite which is
responsible for 1971 and the lost of Bengali people's good will by
imposing urdu.
who were at the forefront of creating Pakistan, rather than destroying
it.
This is a lie. The father of nation was a gujju not an urdu speaking
bhaiya mohajir of bihari of UP/Deccan/Dehli brand. The creator of
aligarh univ was a agha kahni and also the muslim league. the leader
of independence was the shrewed and brilliant gandhi, again a gujju.
It was gandhi who more than anyone else contributed to kicking out the
british. Alas there is none in india or pakistan left of his
brilliance
and genius and so we are so backward. The creator of NED was parsees.
The creator of Edhi foundation was a orphan and destitute Memon.
History
will always remember that bhaiyyas were too late to come to the
productive
islamic behavior and not before they fully embraced terrorism in the
form
of MQM. Pakistan steel mill is bhaiya steal mill. Ardeshir cowasjee is
more honest and upright (parsi) than almost all pakistani misChief
justices
who are all urdu speaking bhaiyya. And never forget that the first
nobel
laureate of Pakistan and the whole muslim world was a Punjabi, son of
the
soil, dhoti wearing Professor Abdus Salam and the second nobel
laureate
of the muslim world is pitch black curly negroid hair, sudani or
nubian
blood, Ahmad Zewail.
As a matter of historical fact, it was mostly thanks to the
efforts of the people of Bengal and Uttar Pradesh, that Pakistan was
created.
So why did the bhaiyya impose urdu on bengalis?
There was little in the way of support from the Punjabis,
Sindhis etc. who subsequently tried to make out, especially in the
1990s, that they were the ones who did all the independence
struggling. As regards 1971 - yes it was extremely stupid to try to
force Urdu on the Bengalis - but that was only one factor in their
independance struggle.
I an not grateful for such a delayed admission of guilt. But crime it
is and you have admitted it.
What really took the cake was Pakistan's
ruthless economic exploitation of Bangladesh and the total
underrepresentation of Bengalis in the Pakistan civil service.
The first step of exploitation is language. All else follows is
natural sequel and is no more significant than the first seed of
injustice.
I should add that General Ayub Khan and General Yahya Khan (who was
known to be often drunk) - who are primarily responsible for the
Bengladesh war - were NOT Mohajjirs but men from from NWFP.
Again this was bhiayya mischief to setup a pathan face for
exploitation
and he was pampered and supported behind the scenes by bhaiya
bureaucrats.
Same goes for Bhutto, and who was taken out immediately by bhaiyya
general
zia.
And the
worst characters to rule Pakistan thereafter, namely, General
Zia-ul-Haq, Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif are from Punjab and Sindh.
Zia = punjabi is white lie. He is a maqqaer east punjabi bhaiyya
mohajjir.
NS = kashmiri kanjar is truth.
BB is front face of bhaiya is truth.
GIK was tool of bhaiya.
As a matter of fact, if "Mushy" from Delhi had not overthrown that
rotten Punjabi *** Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan may have simply
collapsed a year or two ago under Sharif's atrocious mismanagement,
corruption and misappropriation of state funds. So do get things into
perspective about your own
