This article is for "millions of those Pakistanis" who have their hearts ruled by political leaders like Altaf Hussain. I personally have no grievances against MQM be it Muttahida or Muhajir. Being a Karachiite myself, I personally believe that all ethnicities have complete right of representing themselves thereby fostering an environment of healthy competition by competing with each other on positive grounds. I appreciate the cause for which this party (MQM) was created and I would still favor that cause. Karachi generates 70% revenue of the country and people living there should have a fair representation in Provincial /National Assembly accordingly.
My concerns with Aftaf started not because of any ethnic cause. Most of us have a very short memory. I can easily say that nobody knows what I am going to tell today. It was the time of early 90's (just before Altaf flee to UK), I was though very young but my parents developed a habit in me to read a page of newspaper every day for them. This is the time when a child needs answers of every thing and if he/ she doesn't get a satisfactory reply then his/ her mind strive to get the information from all possible sources such that the issue gets a perminant place in his/ her brain. I remember once I read in the newspaper, "An image of Altaf Hussain appeared on a leaf of Croton (a plant) by itself". I couldn't understand. I enquired my parents about that news? As my mother listened to the news, a mixed feeling of astonishment and infuriation appeared over her face. "This isn't possible", she replied. "It is pure lie which could have many purposes. She tried to explain it in simple words to make it intelligible for me. It can be that he wants to gain overnight fame or it can be the case that at a later stage, he will claim himself to be a Prophet or a saintly person". "But does he not fear God then ", I asked. Perhaps not. God knows. She wrapped up the topic and dropped the discussion.
Some days later, another similar news appeared and this time also, it was the headline. "Image of Altaf Hussain appeared on a rock of a mosque". People were praising Mr. A like anything. I again referred to my parents. My mother explained that there is no Prophet or Saint whose image can be appeared. In fact, Islam prohibits depiction of humans, animals, or any form of figurative subjects. We all were shocked how a top newspaper was disseminating such baseless information which were purely coinciding with Islam.
I still cannot forget or forgive this. I wonder in which form Altaf is ruling over the hearts of people? This is a claim made by a friend of mine who is asking me to apologize over my last blog. I just made a mockery of his speech style. He is not a prophet (nazobillah) whose respect is incumbent on me. I have a question with those having their hearts a dwelling for Altaf? Do they consider him a god or a prophet or a saint?
I have a question from all educated people and educated not in terms of holding this many degrees and this many diplomas, but educated in their mind; Do you not reckon that this was a malicious plea made by so called leader of our highly educated ethnicity? Don't you think that he was planning to announce his false prophecy? Why do we forget the history? There are many many other allegations against Altaf, but media doesn't highlight his past which has a dust of "Kufr" over it. In fact, media played a very negative role at that time by spreading this flimsy and unscropulous information in the public. Every body should be afraid of standing in front of Allah at the day of Judgment, and particularly those who blindly trusted this piece of ---.
Now I want to tell a very interesting fact that took place soon after these two news. Operation 92 took place and Altaf had to flee from Pakistan. Because of making such false claim, Allah removed him from that land where altaf was seeing himself as god and it has been 19 years so far, he never got a chance to come back. Even though his party remained in government through out, but due to his false claims, he was plucked from the roots and I am sure he will never get a chance to return. Mighty is Allah and Has all the powers.
I would stand by my words in my last blog and at no price, I am going to apologize. This is the least I can do being a Muslim! Thank you all for making this article to an end (I know its hard to read or listen about Altaf).
