MQM, another excuse for ISI
ISI propaganda

In a new strange but dangerous move, ISI is leveling grounds for it's upcoming direct operations against Afghanistan's Northern Alliance which is fighting the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) created and backed Taliban.

Frontier Post, a propaganda instrument used by ISI, published the article to the right, associating the Northern Alliance with alleged Pakistani terrorist groups.

First, let's take a look at Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM), and it's current position in Pakistani political arena.

MQM is a political party just like Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and others, which opposes the ruling party, Pakistan Muslim League (PML), the party of Nawaz Sharif.

Nawaz Sharif, in a bid to secure his rule as the Prime Minister of Pakistan took several steps to eliminate his opposition.  In the recent months, Nawaz launched a major assault on MQM, imprisoning and killing it's leaders, and  defined the party as a terrorist group, and banned its activities.

In a second but parallel move, Nawaz proposed the "Sharia Law" to replace the Pakistani constitution.  Nawaz publicly spoke about his vision of establishing a "Taliban" style of Sharia Law in Pakistan, which did not get off the ground, and was opposed by he people and opposition parties.

Just a couple of days ago, Nawaz managed to sentence Benazir Bhutto the leader of PPP, to five years jail and fined her for over 8 million Rupees, and baring her from politics.

Now, MQM and other parties opposing Nawaz and his Muslim League party, are struggling to survive the satanic agenda of the Pakistan Government against them.

If MQM is a terrorist party, then so is PML, PPP, Awami National Party (ANP),   and the rest of Pakistani political parties.

Is it true that MQM members or leaders have taken refuge inside Afghanistan, in areas out of Taliban's control?

Certainly possible, but the only source of this news is the article published in Frontier Post by Aimal Khan.  There is no independent account of such a claim.

Should we allow MQM members to live in Afghanistan, away from Taliban's harm and Nawaz's reach?

It would be a smart move for the Northern Alliance to harbor any Pakistani opposition, since the ruling party and ISI is raging war against the people of Afghanistan by creating and supporting Taliban movement.

On the other hand, having MQM members living in unoccupied territories of Afghanistan, will give the ISI a legitimate reason to openly act against the Northern Alliance.   Does it matter if ISI supported Taliban openly? I don't thinks so, what else could they do?

We Afghans must identify Pakistani motives on it's Afghanistan policy, and support each other in countering their evil intentions.

Here is a message for ISI:  We know this game better than you do, and we are the ones who defeated your masters, the Brits, and we are the the nation which defeated your biggest fear, the Soviets.  We know what you have been doing all along.

 MQM's men take refuge in Afghanistan
Frontier Post - April 16, 1999

PESHAWAR - Some of the most wanted terrorist, belonging to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), have taken refuge with the Tajik warlord Ahmad Shah Masoud in northern Afghanistan, it has been learnt on good authority.
It is instructive to point out here that many MQM hard-core activists, wanted by the law-enforcing agencies for their alleged involvement in heinous crimes, have gone either underground or left the country so as to escape the crackdown in urban Sindh.
According to reliable Afghan sources, some alleged terrorists belonging to the MQM have been spotted at Jabul-i-Siraj, and some other areas under the control of anti-Taliban northern alliance in recent weeks.
To provide a safe heaven for their party activists in Afghanistan, key MQM leaders met the opposition ambassador Wali Masoud, who is also a brother of Ahmad Shah Masoud, in London some time back, confided the sources.
Following these high-level contacts between the MQM leaders and Masoud's representatives, workers of the Karachi-based ethnic group were provided shelter in Parwan and Takhar provinces, currently under the control of Masoud.
Most of the MQM activists crossed into Afghanistan via a neighbouring Muslim country, added these sources.
Majority of them used Quetta as base camp for their onward journey to Afghanistan, while few of them proceeded via Peshawar.
The exact number and names of these MQM activists, taking asylum in Masoud-controlled areas, however, is still not known but travelers coming from these areas confirmed the presence of these terrorists in Jabul-i-Siraj. The presence of MQM activists in the areas, controlled by the anti-Taliban opposition, has added a new dimension to the Pakistani internal politics.
