Dear Sir,

You are correct.Both the big partieshave tried to use MQM during elections & then scuttle the party after using it. Anybody can be blamed and become a "mulzim" and that proves nothing but One should not become a "Muzrim". So the cases must be well defended & the soil cleaned up. Presently you have a muilitary Govt. which is form of Govt. which can punish the classes you are referring to "fuedals & industrialists" who have practically committed treason in many forms. The Laws so far made by the so-called democracies are tailored to fit the rulers. The masses plight has gone from bad to worse. Only a military Govt. can clean up the mess, which will take considerable time & then create a situation for bringing in democracy.

Islam has neither recomended democracy nor has condemned it. All that matters is good governace & what system is adopted to achieve that is immaterial. In any system, only a handful enjoy power but most are ruled (the masses). There must be barometer indices to measure the economic condition of the common man & the ascending or decending trend of economy. The average annuual income of the common man should be calculated in Value "Tolas of Gold" rather than in Rupees which the leaders devalue every year while exporting the Dollars from the country abroad. The sufferers are the common masses, who in spite of the Pakistani recipe of democracy are under the oppression of the Fuedals & Industrialists. Altaf Hussain said something similar & suffers in exile. The Fuedals & Industrialists have victimized him & his party. This Military Govt. seems to have good intentions & is targeting the previous exploiters. MQM can play a constructive role by helping the Govt. by giving their service & thus building their image which can be used in the next elections, whenever they come.

BB volunteered her service but everyone knew well the reason for doing this. All can be fooled for some of the time, some for most of the the time but not all, all the time. People have seen BB in many forms & situations & do not trust her. As far as Nawaz is concerned he had a good start but his loyalties shifted from the Pakistani awam to others & he will be paying the price. MQM has still the time to establish itself & can build a good image.

The present ruler, a military General seems a honest man & when he or his honest colleagues retire they will be the masses. So he will welcome the assistance of those who will help him improve the lot of the masses. You will appreciate that the charges framed against Mqm leaders were by the previous rulers & the cases will continue but the present govt. gives nuetral ground to clear their names. If the names are not cleared public support will cease for the MQM & it will continue to be called a terrorist party while other political parties also have terrorist wings.
