The leader of MQM Mr. Altaf Hussain has asked the people of the Punjab to try MQM in the coming elections. Mr. Hussain said this in his telephonic address in connection with the election campaign which was relayed in ten cities of the province at a time. He said that MQM was against feudalism and wanted to rid the country of its menace.
I think that MQM should be given credit for starting a new culture in the politics of the country where people from middle class could aspire to become members of parliament and legislative assemblies. It has amply demonstrated this by giving tickets to common people. It is the only party in country whose leader has kept himself away for holding any public office.
MQM has shown keen interest in the development of of the areas from where its members have been elected. Karachi is fast emerging as a new city with rapid investment in infrastructure and other facilities for the common people.

Two Arrested in Banazir Murder case
Filed Under PPP, Pakistan | Leave a Comment
According to reports the team investigating the murder of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto has arrested two people allegedly involved in the killing.
The Additional DIG CID Punjab Choudhry has confirmed the arrests. It is believed that the accused Rafaqat and Hasnain were arrested ten days ago but their arrest has been made public now. Meanwhile the Scotland Yard team which has returned to Pakistan.
I hope that the investigation will lead to proper conclusion and will not meet the same fate as the investigation of other high profile political murders in the country. The government must detect the real people behind the assassination of Ms Benazir Bhutto and try them in a court of law. This will restore the confidence of the people in the performance of the plethora of government agencies which are generally held in contempt by the people. It is time the culture of political killings is eliminated from the country and political differences are settled through dialogue in civilized manner.
