Pakistan needs a government at federal level (Islamabad) which has representation from all the major parties to solve the six major problems faced by the nation: a) Taliban and other religious organizations sponsored killing and abduction of human beings, b) Energy crisis, c) Improvement in the educational system with compulsory education for every person up to matriculation from a high school. 4) Preservation of natural resources of water and modernization of the irrigation system, 5) Representation of citizens from FATA and the less developed areas of Sindh, Baluchistan, KP, and Punjab in the central government and other business, financial and industrial institutions of the country, 6) Population control and institution of Social Security System for the elder population (>65 years). MQM must support Prime Minister Honorable Mr. Nawaz Sharif and the Chief Minister of Sindh at the provincial level to at least achieve partially the above state objectives. May God Help Pakistan.

Perhaps Mr Sattar can provide evidence of enormous developments in Karachi during MQM's rule. He has the oddesity to claim that thefts, extortions and crimes have gone down although in reality they continue to increase every single day. Does he live in real Karachi?

Yes, rightly said. No single party can resolve the country's issues. That is why my dear governments are formed. What have you all jointly done so far for the country? Pakistan has become a road show because of you corrupt politicians.

Not even all party when come together they will do improvement in Pakistan.

This has to be a joke. Targetted killings have gone down? Go to the karachi police website. Look at the numbers killed by year, compare that data with the formation of the MQM and the years it was in power. The data never lies, make your own conclusions on who is full of hit air.

there is no right and wrong in politics.... MQM have a lot of extraordinarily patient, provided they get their own way in the end..... The irony is the people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

MQM credibility is in question, Farooq Sattar statement is nothing else but a political statement and behind this, aim of MQM is to get themselves involves again in mainstream politics with PML N. What have they done in Karachi when they were in power? Infact extortion, thefts and other crimes has increased considerably.

DECLINE IN TARGET KILLINGS? AM I reading this right? Farooq Sattar, please get some Visine for your eyes and stop covering for your boss.

He has the gal to give statement like this - 5 years in coalition of PPP, NAP,MQM did not solve the nation's problem, now he plans to walk into the door of PML(N).

MQM could not solve karachi problems forget about the country

NO single party can..... Every ruling party has to ally with MQM and make it a part of the cabinet. :D

When all political parties together out to make sustainable fuss never willing to resolve issues how the problems of the country could be solved. Last full tenure of governance of PPP of politics of conciliation and take all along with it is a proof when every party made its due role in spreading cious. Karachi's killings, bhattas etc when all political parties in coalition governing multiplying tell us what!

You have no choice but to support the Sharif Govt . You are caught between a rock and a hard place. Terms are very clear, the PM has not moved a muscle and Karachi is becoming the real Karachi again. You don't cooperate the evidence being held in Islamabad will be handed over to Scotland Yard. Also there is a precieved change in British policy on tolerance of interference by its citizens in other countries affairs. Nothing lasts for ever, so now is the time to do the right thing.

Yes he is saying right. To resolve the problems and current issues of the country all the parties should join hands, in this way they will get rid of energy crises and many other problems.

@Ozair: I'm from Karachi...and not a die hard supporter of MQM. But Mr Sattar is absolutely right about when they were in power during Musharraf's time, Karachi had lot of developments...matter of fact Karachi never had that kind of development in decades. Theft and target killing went down also. But during PPP time every thing went down and Karachi became he'll again. People of Karachi are not stupid. They are mostly educated and .they have been giving votes to MQM for since MQM is the only party which talks about Karachi problems. Rest of the parties are there to make money since they don't have any stake. We are hoping PTI will get some inroads in Karachi so we will have alternative choice.

No single party can resolve country's challenges, says Sattar Wrong. It should be re-phased as 'No party can resolve country's challenges', in particular not MQM who has just brought trouble for the country and Karachi and nothing else.

This is now high time that Altaf Bhai must return to Pakistan and restore the MQM in its original shape,due to this status of Altaf Bhai very wrong perception has developed in the public about MQM.Just return the British nationality and come to Pakistan. Otherwise MQM will not gain lost ground.

problem in karachi is not pakistani problem it is MQM problem they misleading the people

I visited Karachi 7 times in 5 years when MQM had some power. In my first few visits karachi was devastated but gradually in my 3rd and 4th trip things started to change. I do not know what folks are talking about target killings those days. Probably they are biased against MQM.

This is 100% true, in the tenure of MQM led govt during Musharaf's regime Karachi got immense properous, growth. Target killing was almost negligible 2-3 incidents in the whole 5-7 years, wherever these days we have almost worst incidents on daily basis. MQM is the only sincere party for Sind and Pakistan. Mustafa Kamal led the team with examples. Business community were relaxed and enjoyed the period as also confirmed by their representatives on media.
