The entire city is questioning as to why some thing is not being done.<br \/>\nPeople of Karachi are looking towards the state that it should come forward and listen to them. 100 people died in a day. This is open democratic terrorism.<br \/>\nThe genocide of people of Karachi is being done\/.<br \/>\nHe stated when any complaint is made with Sindh government then allegations of extortion of money, sack packed bodies and Baldia factory are leveled against MQM. While MQM has nothing to do with these crimes.<br \/>\nHe said Prime Minister (PM) cannot do certain things despite his wish for fear of estrangement of PPP.<br \/>\nDid MQM set ablaze the city on the occasion of shahadat of Benazir Bhatti. Did all the cases were abolished by MQM in the government in 2008 You are in the province since 18 years then as to why you don\u2019t hang us.<br \/>\nHe held if all the things have been done by MQM then hang us. Did any one stop them in 18 years what irregular buildings were constructed by us.<br \/>\nYou talk of baldia factory and sack packed bodies while during that time president of your party came to MQM headquarters.<br \/>\nUnbridled leniency has been given to the PPP to run the incumbent government. Due to it the entire system has been disrupted. If Karachi has to give sacrifices to save the system then state should tell in clear terms how many more lives are required.<br \/>\nKarachi be made financial capital of the country as per constitution given by Bhutto and it should be taken under federation because these people cannot be corrected under the prevailing system.<br \/>\nHe alleged harm is being caused to people of Karachi under 18 th constitutional amendment and this amendment has beocome ulcer for the country. 18th amendment is not a sacred clause. It will have to be withdrawn to save the country.<br \/>\nCalling for federation interference under article 148 and 149 of the constitution he said if MQM remains in minority in the province then will the basic facilities, water, health be not provided to the citizens. Karachi be made part of federal territory.<br \/>\nHe alleged that when funds are acquired by MQM from PM then chif minister Sindh get stop them.<br \/>\nThis is democratic terrorism which should be suspended in Sindh forthwith.<br \/>\nIt is hoped government of Pakistan and state of Pakistan will listen to us and justice will be provided to people of Karachi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThose who burnt people alive politicising Gul Plaza fire,\u201d says Memon in response to Kamal\u2019s presser KARACHI MQM leader and federal minister Mustafa Kamal has demanded for making Karachi part of the federation and abolition of 18th constitutional amendment.
