12 May 2007, a tragic day for the Karachi and Karachiites; on this day, anti-Karachi elements made an alliance against Karachi and localities of Karachi. 54 casualties were reported on that day. Everyone even every political party put blame on MQM and the government of that regime for 12 May’s mayhem. Every one maligned the status of MQM and tried to show MQM as a terrorist organization. MQM, the stake holder of Karachi issued 14 names and full permanent addresses of its workers who were killed in 12 May’s mayhem. Did any other political party issue names of its workers who were killed on 12 May? Why did they not public names of their expired-workers? All political parties just claimed, but didn’t reveal names of their expired workers.12 May’s facts are opposite, controversial and un-told.
On 10th May 2007, a meeting was conducted in Karachi High Court Bar, high authorities of Bar and officials of law and enforcement agencies attended the meeting, the agenda of this meeting was “12 May and the consequences of arrival of Ex-Chief Justice of Pakistan in Karachi”. In this meeting, it was decided that CJP will arrive at Karachi airport at 11:55 hours, then he will address Malir Bar, after that he will visit mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam & will attend the ceremony of Sindh High Court Bar (Approx. 9 hours rally). The President of Sindh High Court Bar, Abrar Hussain demanded to Sindh government to bring containers and deploy these containers on different areas, further he demanded to bring more containers.
On the other side, political parties blamed MQM for bringing containers in Karachi & blocking roads on arrival of CJP, while the containers were deployed on the request of Bar’s President. Karachi faced the same rampage, riots, massacre in pasts; either it was the extra-judicial killings of 90′s or incident of Pakka-Qila or the cleansing of specific community in 80′s which is known for tragic incident of Qasba Aligarh. Media, anchor persons, analysts forget to quote 27 dec 2007, assassination day of Benazir Bhutto; more than 54 innocent localities of Karachiiets were tortured, looted, killed & females were gang kidnapped and rapped for several days by the miscreants. No one discussed or raised the issue of “The Black day of Karachi”.
27 dec, no one demanded judicial inquiry because there were no political activists were tortured, looted or killed on that day, but innocent Karachiites. Sindh Government received the reports from ISI, MI & others that the riots might erupt in Karachi on the arrival of CJP, Government requested CJP to halt his arrival and rally on that day due to those threats.
It was decided that the rally of CJP will never be politicized, only lawyers would be applicable to proceed and join the rally, no political workers would join the rally. But, political parties used the rally to show their power, leaders of different political parties showed their enmity towards Karachi and Karachiets. Why Sindh Government didn’t register any complaint against members of Bar Associations and different leaders of lawyer movement on violation of their own orders due to which chaos erupted in Karachi. Why did not CJP postpone that rally while ISI and different agencies had reported of chaos on his arrival.
“At some instance, CJP, Iftekhar Mohammad Chaudhry asked Aitezaz Ahsen that we should go back, while in the reponse Aitezaz Ahsen, PPP hard-core refused CJP and told that we would stay here”.
Actually, 12 May was the conspiracy against stake holders of Karachi, anti-Karachi political parties created alliance to finish stake holder political party of Karachi from its origin. 12 May was the conspiracy against the political party of Sindh, 12 May was the conspiracy against the democracy. No one wants to demand any action against rampage of 27 Dec 2007, tragic incident of Qasba Aligarh (on that day, innocent people were killed).
