MQM-Altaf Hussain want Karachi “Independent State” – London Post

ltaf Hussain’s demand of international intervention as well as invitation to India now and 48 hours ultimatum issued earlier is clear indication that heavily armed MQM-Altaf is looking for an armed conflict with the state institutions. Approximately 6000 people have been killed in Karachi since this democratic government took over in the name ‘reconciliation with the killers and cons’ in February 2008.
 

MQM-Altaf terrorist and high value asset Ajmal Paharee confessed to the JIT that: he has received terrorist training in New Delhifrom five Indian Army officers. During this training he was informed about Altaf Hussain’s desire to separate Karachi from Pakistan”. Altaf Hussain has been calling “Pakistan a blunder”, asking India to give political asylum to him and his workers and recent wall chalking ‘separate Mohajir Province’ is part of his designs. He is more than welcome to go back to India and may as well do some work and claim his father’s a job at Agra Railway Station  on the basis of kinship.
Altaf Hussain is following the Indian policy of ‘keep Karachi bleeding’ in response to the indigenous struggle in Indian occupiedKashmir. Altaf Hussain’s MQM and his mafia have caused more economic and human losses to Pakistan by strikes and terrorist activities than three wars with India and war on terror. If MQM only allowed peace to prevail in Karachi Pakistan would have been far richer both economically and militarily.

The impression that Altaf Hussain is a British Citizen and long distance leader of MQM is one of many illegitimate children created by Pakistani intelligence agencies can not be disputed under any circumstances? Can we say that those agencies which created him have no control over him anymore and he has been hijacked by MI6-RAW nexus?
If any one in GHQ and Pakistani establishment thinks he is a friend of Pakistan than they should update their notes. There is a possibility that he might be blackmailing some people in the establishment with his secret recordings. What he probably does not know is that how much his recordings are going to crop on the internet soon. This illegitimate child created has now become a ‘Frankenstein Monster’. He told MJ Akbar of Asian Age that, “I was not offered commission in the Pakistan Army because I was a Mohajir”.  More recently General Musharaf aka YK2 was also a Mohajir and no different than Altaf Hussain in harming Pakistan’s national interests? They both live in London under MI6 and Scotland Yard protection which includes 24 hours surveillance facilities, and cowardly enough can’t or won’t go to Pakistan. In fact, UK’s government bluntly refused to return Pervez Musharraf to Pakistan upon court’s request which had declared Musharraf a running criminal.
According to a report by Naveed Miraj published in The Frontier Post states: Altaf Hussain’s MQM issued a memo to his workers saying, If there was war between India and Pakistan, MQM workers will be remain neutral”. Why? The memo was issued during the 2002 tension between India and Pakistan. Though Altaf Hussain is not the only ‘dirty egg’ in the Indian basket but his affiliations and actions are more open and crude. Following the arrest and video confession of MQM-A terrorist Ajmal Paharee strengthened the notion that Altaf Hussian is following separatist agenda.
MQM and Altaf Hussain have close links with the Indian secret agency RAW as well as other players including MI6. MQM-Altaf terrorist and Indian agent Ajmal Paharee confessed to the Joint Investigation Team of ISI, IB, Military Intelligence, CID and Special Branch that, MQM-Altaf was behind the ‘Ashura Bombings of 2009’ in Karachi”. He confessed to the team that he and other MQM city workers were ordered to wear black Shia mourning clothes on the day in a meeting called three days before the Ashura bombings. The orders were to burn the shops and businesses in and around Light House as well as kill the people. The shop owners of that area refused to give extortion money to the MQM-Altaf. These burnings caused losses of billions to the poor Pakistanis and shop owners in Karachi
Mustafa Kamal billionaire – poor former mayor of Karachi became abusive when London Post report published on 31st December 2009, was quoted that, MQM was involved in Karachi bombings with black water”, in a live program by famous anchor Talat Hussain. Faces of the looters were visible on CCTVs footages still available on youtube.
This brave son of London “Edgware” sleeps in a multi million pound bunker with 24 hours CCTV cameras security and star trek type control room. He was preaching people of Karachi to sell their valuables and buy weapons and now he has asked them to do house shopping for a month’.  Why is he allowed to do these kinds of provocative speeches and live broadcasts from London ?  He has harmed Pakistan’s economy and caused losses worth billions of dollars. Those who allowed him to do the harms are equal partners in his crimes whoever they are.
Ajmal Pharee also confessed murdering hundreds of innocent people as well as receiving training in India by Indian security agencies. In a video statement he said,
I joined MQM in 1988 arrested in 1989 for fire arms offences imprisoned for one year. I was arrested and sentenced for five years again in 2000 for murdering Iqbal Raad, lawyer of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
He told the JIT that his handler Nadeem Nusrat is based in MQM – Altaf’s London Secretariat and is inner circle man of Altaf Hussain. Ajmal Pharee told the JIT that, ‘Nadeem Nusrat told him to escape from Pakistan to Singapore in 1996 with Zeshan a MQM worker’.  He stayed in the Mustafa Market Hotel on his instructions in Singapore , where he was given Singapore Airline tickets and Indian visas by Jamil aka Jimi who lives in South Africa . They travelled to Delhi, stayed there for 15 days and later received terrorist training for one month in a near by jungle  by five Indian army officers. He also met other MQM-Altaf workers Noora of Shah Faiasl Colony, Zafar Tension of Buffer Zone, Raju of Nazim-a-Bad, Shakir Chota of Orangi Town. He received terrorist training of AK-47, RPG, MP-5 LMG, hand grenades. He was transported to India-Pakistan border inserted in from Chawanda area of Shakr Gurh ( Sialkot ) in Pakistan. They later went to Lahore and than Karachi ”, said Ajmal Pharee in his confessions.
Ajmal Pahari – Target Killer of MQM

Shahnawaz – Target Killer of MQM
On December 28, 2009, three thousand shops were burnt; one thousand were burnt after looting which caused loss of Rs. 60 billion to Pakistani economy. The question is why is he allowed to do this? MQM is systematically using violence to destabilize Pakistan’s Economy with its closed doors Anti-Pakistan ally PPPP. Security agencies have informed the government that MQM had instructed it sector level organization to target ethnic Pashtuns in the city and Pashtun businesses are specially being hit, said the sources. According to a communication sent to the federal government inIslamabad on 24th July 2011, MQM- Altaf was stirring ethnic violence in Karachi and had planned to continue bloodbath until its demands are met.
Altaf Hussain exaggerates things beyond imagination. For example, he claimed his supporters in Karachi increased by 10 million in just two years because he claimed to have 20 million supporters in an interview with Edgware Times in November 1998. But in 2001 MQM claimed to have 30 million supporters when MQM send a fax to Reuters on 22 September 2001. “MQM leader Altaf Hussain has offered the unconditional support of over 30 million MQM supporters to the USZ president and the international community“, its London-based international secretariat said in a statement faxed to Reuters on September 22, 2001.
Impression is growing fast in Pakistan that British Government has been quite lenient to the activities of Altaf Husasain and harbouring a terrorist who is responsible for the death and destruction of thousands and caused losses to the Pakistani economy. He is a British citizen and living in London tax free and should not be allowed to play with the British values, democracy and freedom.
Probably for that very reason Alistair Burt, British Foreign Office Minister telephoned Governor of Sindh province of Pakistan on 3rd August 2011.  Foreign Office Minister for South Asia, said:
“This morning I spoke to the Governor of Sindh Dr. Khan to expressed my concern at the continuing violence and loss of life that Karachi has faced in recent weeks. I encouraged the Governor in his ongoing strong personal engagement to restore law and order. I warned that inflammatory statements from any political party risked making the situation worse and that all political leaders and their parties have a duty to refrain from inciting violence and to reduce tensions and restore calm. I reiterated the view of Her Majesty’s Government that the stability of Karachi is in the interests of all in Pakistan and the wider international community. I said that peace and prosperity in Karachi was necessary to encourage further foreign direct investment which would be vital to Pakistan’s future economic growth and stability. Our Deputy High Commissioner in Karachi , Francis Campbell, has met with representative of all main political parties in Karachi to encourage them to work towards stability in Karachi and the wider region.  I have asked my officials to reiterate these points directly with the leadership of the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) and to discuss our concerns.”
Straggly enough until November 1998 Government of Pakistan was reportedly seeking extradition of Altaf Hussain who was said to be wanted in 50 murders and 150 cases of kidnapping and arson. The question is how come Altaf Hussain got the British Citizenship when HM Government refused UK Citizenship to billionaire Mohammad Al-Fayed on the grounds that he does not have ‘good moral character’ required to be British?
It is time to say enough is enough to this psychopath sitting in London who is suffering from Histrionic Personality Disorder according to a British mental health specialist. Following definition match his personality.
“Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriately seductive behavior, usually beginning in early adulthood. These individuals are lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others. Associated features may include egocentrism, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, and persistent manipulative behavior to achieve their own needs …. HPD may affect a person’s social or romantic relationships or their ability to cope with losses or failures.”
As far as dealing with the MQM terrorism is concerned an intelligence lead police operation is enough and there is no need to drag armed force into it. Surely Altaf Hussain wants to drag the army so he could go to UN and ask for peace keeping force in Karachi. He is exporting terrorism to Pakistan by making long provocative speeches from London it is the responsibility of British Government to issue gagging orders against him to save lives. If Altaf Hussain is brave enough and wishes to do Pakistani politics he may as well go to Pakistan and do whatever he likes. Should the British soil be allowed to be used for harboring terrorists and exporting  terrorism to Pakistan?

LHC cancels bail of 9 accused of Sialkot lynching



A division bench of the Lahore High Court has cancelled bail to nine accused in the Sialkot lynching incident on Wednesday. The applicant asked the court to cancel the bail of all accused as they were equally responsible for the killing the two brothers, Mughees Sajjad and Muneeb Sajjad. After hearing the arguments in Wednesday's hearing, the bench headed by LHC's justice Rauf Ahmed Sheikh cancelled bail of nine accused who were involved in brutally killing of two youths in public last year.

Death or Victory!" – Gaddafi addresses the nation


Colonel Gaddafi has addressed his nation to say the battle with aggressors will last “until the end”. Meanwhile, the rebels’ assault on the Tripoli compound brought no visible results and shelling goes on in Libyan towns. Muammar Gaddafi said leaving his compound was a tactical move. Colonel has addressed the nation via Libyan radio, declaring that “in the fight against aggressors there is only death or victory.” He said that the Bab al-Aziziya compound no longer exists. It was totally destroyed by 64 NATO air strikes. As of now, the leader and his family are nowhere to be found. Gaddafi spokesperson, Moussa Ibrahim, speaking on Libyan television from an undisclosed location, warned the battle for Libya will turn the country into a volcano, lava and fire. He stressed that the country’s government can resist the attacks for months or even years.


Dubai-based al-Arabiya TV says that the capital is being pounded by Gaddafi forces’ Grad missiles and mortars. Reuters also reports pro-Gaddafi forces attacking the town of Ajelat, west of Tripoli, with missiles and tanks. Rebels overran the fortified compound of the Libyan leader in Bab al-Azizya in Tripoli following intense fighting with pro-Gaddafi forces and heavy shelling by NATO jets late on Tuesday. Rebels claimed also they gained control of much of the capital, but Gaddafi's whereabouts were still unknown.

Meanwhile, the National Transitional Council reports that 400 people have been killed and more than 2,000 injured over the last three days of fighting. Alternative reports claim that more than 1,000 people have died in the violence and NATO air strikes. ­Don DeBar, an anti-war activist and journalist, believes that whatever Colonel Gaddafi or the rebel leaders say, it is practically impossible to verify what is true or false at this point.
“But certainly what has been coming from the Western media has been proven to be lies,” he declared. “Gaddafi opened up the armories to the people of Libya, more than a million rifles and other arms have been handed out to the people of Tripoli. The claim that has been made by the so-called ‘progressive’ media of the United States (of Zionism) is that Gaddafi is a hated dictator and that this is an indigenous rebellion. The dictator does not hand people guns and say: ‘Please, defend me!’”

Last Letter Of ~Major Imran Ahmed~ To His Wife From North Waziristan

Akhari Khat.
Major. Imran Ahmed, Punjab Regiment, 4th Batallion.
Miranshah, North Waziristan, F.A.T.A.
August 14, 2011
Mrs. Maira Imran.
74/1 Khayaban E BahriaLahore, Punjab, Pakistan

Assalam-o-Alaikum,

Kaisi ho Maira? Ummeed hai khairiat se hogi, main bhi khairiat se hee hoon. Maira shayad yeh khat mera aakhri khat ho isliye isko sambhaalkar rakhna, kamsekam jab tak Zaid bada nahin hojaata. Kal Zaid ki doosri saalgirah thi, main aa nahin paaya. Kaise aata? Hum logon ko ek family ke liye nahin, humaari 17 crore logon ki family ke liye kaam karna padraha hai. Meri taraf se Zaid ko bohot pyaar karna aur humaare study ki cabinet ki sabse aakhri daraaz mein green file ke neeche ek envelope hai, woh Zaid ko dedena. Maine us envelope ko aise hee waqt ke liye rakh chorha tha. Usmein uske liye mera tohfa aur ek khat bhi hai joh usko akele padhne dena.

Is waqt tak toh is khat par do aansoo girchuke honge, aakhir tum aurtein itni emotional kyun hoti ho main kabhi samajh nahin paaya. Zaid ko is tarah ka matt banaana, I want my son to be brave just like me. Zaid ki tasveerein dekhi maine, pehle kabhi nahin kaha ab kehraha hoon, woh bilkul tumpar gaya hai. Uski aankhein, uske baal, uska maatha, sab kuch tumpar hai. Pehle kabhi shayad male ego ki waja se nahin kaha, ab socha keh hee doon. Maira yeh jung bohot mushkil hai kyunke ismein donon taraf humaare apne hain, aur jung ka asal marhala apnon ko goliaan maarna hota hai. Aksar toh dus baar sochte hain, par jab pehle goli wahan se aati hai toh jawaab mein humein bhi goli chalaani padti hai. Yahan rehne waale bohot takleef se guzar rahe hain, sirf isliye taake hum unke gharon ko is operation ke liye istamaal karsakein. Sab kisi na kisi tarah is mulk ke liye qurbaanian dene par lage huye hain, aakhir yeh mulk hai hee itna pyaara.

Parson humaari duty ek school mein lagaayi gayi. Ek foji ke liye chowkidaar ki tarah school ki rakhwaali karne se badtar kuch nahin hai, yehi sochkar bohot dair tak mera muun bana raha. Par phir jab saare bacchon ko school aakar buland awaaz mein Pakistan ka qomi taraana gaate huye suna toh yoon samjho saara ghussa pighalgaya. Un bacchon ko bina darr ke padhta dekhkar dil ko bohot khushi huyi, unke chehre mutmayeen thay kyunke woh jaante thay ke kuch nahin hoga kyunke hum wahan hain. Ek dehshatgard ne school ki imaarat ke andar bomb fix kardiya tha, agar hum evacuation karvaate toh bohot sa jaani nuqsaan hosakta tha, isi liye maine wohi kiya joh ek foji ka farz tha apne mulk ke bacchon ke liye. Maine us bomb ko haath mein uthaaya aur usko lekar school ki imaarat se duur bhaag gaya. Bahar jaakar blast hogaya aur main yahan hospital mein admit hogaya. Mujhe is sabka koi afsos nahin hai Maira, kyunke woh bacche salaamat rahe. Maine toh foj join hee isliye ki thi taake apne is paak watan ko apni jaan ka nazraana desakoon. Main shaheed hoon Maira, mujhe inhi alfaaz mein yaad kiya karna, aur Zaid se kehna ke woh bhi sabko fakhr se bataaye ke uska baap mulk ki khidmat karte waqt on duty shaheed hua hai. Zaid bohot pyaara baccha hai Maira, aur ab tumhein akele usko paalna hoga. Aaj marte marte waseehat kar raha hoon, Zaid ko bhi foji banaana Maira. Is kaam mein ek ajeeb sa nasha hai, shaahadat ka nasha, mulk ke liye jaan qurbaan karne ka nasha, aur is nashe ke aage duniya ka har kaam pheeka hai. Meri maut par afsos naa karna, jashn manaana kyunke main teen sau bacchon ko bachaakar jaan deraha hoon, aur waise bhi shaheedon ki maut par roya nahin fakhr kiya jaata hai.

Maira, tumhein ab khud hee apna khayaal rakhna hoga. Apne ammi abbu ko apne paas bulaalena, tumhein akele rehne ki aadat nahin hai. Maira jab tum mere ramp ceremony (funeral) par aaogi toh wahan meri uniform, medals aur badges Zaid se collect karvaana. Main chahta hoon woh is umar mein hee ek foji hone ke jazbe ko mehsoos kare. Bas main itna kehsakta hoon ke mujhe intezaar hai ab apne mulk ke hilaali parcham se lipatkar shaheed kehlaaye jaane ka. Main aaunga apni ramp ceremony par, dekhne ke liye ek shaheed ki maut par kitni ronaq hoti hai. Jab mere honour mein goliaan fire karke salaami diye jaane ki awaaz sununga, tabhi meri rooh ko sukoon pohonchega. Ab alvida kehdeta hoon kyunke is sabko kehne ke baad naa hee tum aur padhne ka qaabil hogi aur naa hee main likhne ke. Isliye alvida, apna aur Zaid ka bohot khayaal rakhna. Tumhaare paas Zaid is mulk ki amaanat hai, aur amaanat ko ek din lautaana hee hota hai. Main intezaar karunga Zaid ki shahaadat ka. Khayaal rakhna.


With Love,

Major Imran Ahmed, Punjab Regiment, 4th B

Pakistan Army successfully finishes operation in Central Kurram

ISLAMABAD: The army on Thursday announced the ending of military offensive in Kurram Agency after clearing only Central Kurram of militants, but leaving the opening of a crucial road link to an accord between the warring tribes. The official announcement of the conclusion of the operation code-named Koh-i-Sufaid came with the visit of Army Chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani to the region. “Clearance of Central Kurram will ensure opening of Tal-Parachinar Road”, a statement issued by ISPR said without assigning reasons why an offensive in Lower Kurram was avoided and the operation was wound up before the only road link between the remote parts of the agency and the other parts of the country could be cleared.
Opening of Tal-Parachinar Road was one of the major objectives for starting the operation. ISPR officials explained the operation was targeted against foreign funded terrorists and miscreants involved in suicide bombings, kidnapping for ransom and extortion. Sources, however, say that military stayed clear of the sectarian strife in the region that has claimed hundreds of lives and focused only on clearing Central Kurram of terrorists, who had fled operations in other tribal areas, by dislodging them from their well entrenched hideouts in the mountains; and disconnecting a route from North Waziristan to Tirah valley through Mamozai. Another reason why military is believed to have kept itself out of Lower Kurram and conducted a limited level operation in the central region was possibly the defection of Fazal Saeed Haqqani from the ranks of Hakeemullah, days ahead of the operation.

Fazal’s militia, according to sources in Kurram, remained untouched because of his last-minute move, citing differences with the TTP leadership. Tribal elders from Upper Kurram at a jirga held with political administration earlier this week questioned the logic for restricting the military offensive to Central Kurram, while leaving intact the terror infrastructure in the lower region, which had engineered a humanitarian crisis in Upper Kurram by keeping Tal-Parachinar road blocked for almost four years and killing Shias. A senior military official, speaking about the operation, said the Kurram problem had sectarian dimensions and “Lower Kurram was not in control of terrorists”. The army also believes that its operation in Central Kurram would create the right condition for the implementation of the Murree Peace Accord signed by the warring tribes in 2008. Another jirga of the tribes is expected in the first week of September for renewing the Murree Peace Accord. The officer said if the tribes reached some sort of settlement they are expected to provide guarantees for traffic to freely ply on the Tal-Parachinar road. For now only controlled traffic under FC protection would be allowed. Kurram operation involved some 5,000 troops. Some 130 militants were killed, while a large number of others, including their leadership, is thought to have fled to other areas. About 13,000 families were displaced during the operation.

The manner in which the operation was conducted has reinforced a perception that the major objective of the offensive was to block the northern route to North Waziristan. The army has been resisting international pressure for an operation in North Waziristan. Defence analysts say an operation in North Waziristan without securing Central Kurram would have allowed militants there to shift to the Kurram and Orakzai agencies. Therefore, they say, the Kurram operation could be a prelude to a military campaign in North Waziristan. Our Parachinar correspondent adds: Six militants were killed and nine soldiers were injured in an exchange of fire and a bomb blast in central Kurram Agency on Thursday, the day the army declared successful completion of an operation in the region. Officials said that a clash in the Gawaki area left six militants dead and two soldiers injured. The claim, however, could not be verified from independent sources. In the Manato area, seven soldiers were injured when their vehicle hit an improvised explosive device.

Turkish Jets bomb 60 CIA-backed Kurdish rebel targets in Iraq

Turkish jets bombed 60 targets in northern Iraq used as bases by the CIA backed subversion proxy of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) following an ambush by the outlawed group that killed nine troops, the military and rebels said Thursday. Turkey's air force launched a "successful" operation against 60 targets in the Qandil and Hakurk regions late Wednesday, said the General Staff in a statement on its website. The PKK said the attacks resumed in the morning. The Turkish military said its operations at home and in the north of Iraq, used as a safe haven by the PKK, "will continue until it is eradicated." Some 168 targets in the Qandil region were under intense artillery fire before the military operation began, the military added.


Dozdar Hammo, the PKK spokesman, said the jets also bombed CIA backed rebel bases in the Qandil and Khanairah areas of north Iraq near the Turkish border for about an hour from around 8:00 am (0500 GMT) on Thursday. Hammo said no casualties were reported from the latest strikes or the raids on Wednesday night, which he said lasted for about two hours starting at 9:00 pm (1800 GMT). It is the first time in more than a year that the Turkish military has carried out air strikes on PKK bases in northern Iraq. Turkey's National Security Council said on Thursday it will adopt a "more effective and decisive fight in the fight against terrorism", local media reported, without elaborating on what those measures would be. The council's statement comes only hours after Turkey launched heavy air and artillery assaults on Kurdish guerilla targets in northern Iraq after a declaration by Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan that he had lost patience with separatists fighting in southeastern Turkey.

The strikes followed the deadly attack on Wednesday in the town of Cukurca in the southeast of the country claimed by the PKK, which is branded a terrorist group by Turkey. Wednesday's attack came after Turkey's governnment announced a "new era" in the fight against the PKK. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who earlier signalled tougher measures against rebels after the holy month of Ramazan, said after the attack that the government had "run out of patience". Turkey's National Security Council, which brings top civilian and military officials, will convene Wednesday afternoon to discuss further measures against the PKK. President Abdullah Gul, who will chair the council, will seek collective support from ruling and opposition parties in parliament in the fight against the organisation, reported the Turkish media. Ankara has been revisiting its strategy against the PKK for some time. New measures being considered by the government include sending special police and professinal army units to the combat zones along the border with Iraq.
Analysts predict an escalation in PKK attacks in the coming months. "I think the attacks will continue until December", Nihat Ali Ozcan, a security expert at the Ankara-based think tank TEPAV, told AFP. He said the government can "absorb deathes of 500 soldiers annually" by the PKK. Members of the group return to their bases in northern Iraq in the winter as their camps are high in the snow covered the mountaineous Qandil region. Ankara's relations with Damascus have plummetted in recent weeks after Erdogan's outspoken criticism of Syria's crackdown on protests. "PKK attacks are surging as long as Ankara warns Damascus" to stop its military operations against civilians, Tezkan added. Other observers were criticial of the government's failure to prevent PKK attacks. Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) "has been in power for nine years to solve this problem", wrote Mehmet Yilmaz in daily Hurriyet. The attack comes at a time when some 30 Kurdish lawmakers are refusing to take the oath in parliament and join in protest at the imprisonment of some of their colleagues who were elected in the June 12 polls.
