The incident occurred back in 2008/9 and we've long sold that place. There were armed gunmen, and they claimed to be of MQM. It could be that they lied, but the fact stands that their name was used.
>Beside they collect zakat and khals so far
Maybe where you live. In my area they use threats to collect. Police does nothing, despite being so close to a police station. I don't know what you're on about, but MQM is evil, and to be honest you and SEvolution are the only two people who are saying good things about them among all those i've interacted with in my entire life.
just one thing , zara ghar s nikao aur aik round lagao Karachi ka, i bet my ass, if you didn't robbed by police at front of whole public and no one came to save you, har jaga nakay azab kardia sadar say site aur site say ghar jana
bat MQM ki nai hay , there were good and bad people every where , but they still do good for most of people , as for you i will list my encounter with them .
-In my college (premier college) once at form submission day , i took my friend with me , hes kind a rough guy , so when i was busy in submitting my form , ther some MQM guyz came to him and ask him to close his shirt upper button (as i said hes kind a rough) , so he said "chal oye" in return one of them show him the pistol , and he ran away without telling me the fact , when i talked to them so they said that "college main insano ki tarhan aya karo warn mat ana"
-back then one of my friend asked me to give paper on his place (bec hes so weak in studies and he have to pass that i.com part 2 paper at all cost) , so i did this , but unfortunately examiner caught me , but there some MQM guyz were there whom make an adjustments and said "nashta kardo bhaion ko to kam hojye ga" well after serving them some refreshment they allow me to continue the exam .
-in university life , it was hell of a fun with them , as they arrange different events for students , there is whole lobby of them in MBA (Karachi University Business School) , there is paigham e aman tournament along with different sports event which they give full support to students , and one of my junior got his career in hokey right now as with different clubs and despite of his ethnicity they support him (as hes from punjab) , and any one from Karachi university here can easily confirm you that sports dean of Karachi university madom Anjum , is close relative of altaf hussain , you may saw her in different MQM events.
-last encounter of mine is them at my graduation time , as examination department put absent in 4 of my papers , when i go to them they said k "beta wo copian to hum log jala daitay hain ab record main absent arai hay batao kia karain" , as now i don't have any proof except my attendance sheet which they denied and said that still they don't have copies, so you have to repeat it , after taking round and round around the university different student fac (dean office etc) i contact APMSO chair-person abdul wahab , he said ok fine and at very spot he make call to chair-person of my department and at very next day hes like "beta ap ko call karwany ki kia zarurat thi ap waisay hi ajtay" (even i request him many times before but he ignore me like i am some beggar
) any how , after that chairman of my department calls examination department and i got my performa , and get my degree at graduation day .
so that's what my encounter with them so far , and yes some of them involve in mobile snatching as well , as i remember the snooker 147 incident (as any one from block 10 or 7 may know about that snooker club, which is one of the most decent snooker club of its time in that area) as i used to go there with my school buddies, so some people mobiles got snatched at there and when they went to 90, they give them there mobiles back along with apology and kick for those who snatched them (but its not my personal encounter its just some one told me there).
well so that's the case so far , but my friend don't judge the world by how people show it to you , go out and experience it by your self then make final judgment , and good and bad people are every where but don't judge the whole picture by just odd spot of paint .
