I witnessed a very interesting drama on Mufti Sahab’s death in Karachi. It was staged by Muttahida Majlis e Amal. The Mullahs tried to blame MQM (another local ethnic political party) they also tried to blame establishment (even though they have always being considered the part of establishment by many Pakistanis) and then they tried to blame the entire Kafir world for killing Mufti Sahab. An article from the daily Ummat would give you a lil different view about how Mufti’s death was utilized in Karachie and how riots were organized not to support the Jihadis but to destabilize the government in Sindh. If you browse the front page and other articles in this newspaper you would be surprized to find out the propaganda by the so called Islamic parties.

the other day there was a bomb blast in a Imam Bargah and Majlis successfully hijacked the blast mixed it with Mufti sahab’s death and staged the scene of fear and panic in the city. They called for a strike on Friday and the strike was more successful in Karachi than in NWFP.

The international Media was reporting the events as sectarian violence in the city which was absolutely wrong. The Jafria alliance held a press conference in Karachi on saturday where the told that during the funeral of blast’s victims some police officers intentionally used language to create anger among the shia crowd. Jafria Alliance also told in the conference that the shia community was suprized over the violance. They demanded an investigation on the riots during the funeral.

Local press was trying to show it as some conspiracy against Karachi’s peace (Karachi never had peace since Zia ul haq planted Afghans and Pakhtun illegal immigrants in the city during the Afghan war).

I personally see it as an attempt to conquer the Country’s economic backbone politically. Considering the huge number of Afghan immigrants, Jihadi’s from every part of the country who come here to take refuge and the carelessness of federal government it is quite an easy job.
