To:  The People of Karachi

FORMATION OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR

According to my proposed plan, the Southern port city of Pakistan called
Karachi shall become the Republic of Jinnahpur. This proposed formation of
Republic of Jinnahpur shall be in line with the anticipated plan towards
Pakistan's disintegration in the best interest of world's peace and
elimination of terrorism as envisioned by me in my earlier book titled
"DIVIDE PAKISTAN TO ELIMINATE TERRORISM". The name Republic of Jinnahpur is
given in view of the fact that Muhammad Ali Jinnah who was leader of Muslim
League back in 1940s in the United India and who had struggled for the
formation of Pakistan was born in Karachi on December 25, 1876. Muhammad Ali
Jinnah's mausoleum is also in Karachi.


"All conflicts are identity conflicts" said John Paul Lederach, Professor of
International Peacebuilding at The Joan B. Kroc Institute for International
Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA. This statement is, in
my opinion, very conclusive to explain the very nature and significance of
all conflicts existing either at international level or regional level. All
such conflicts are basically 'identity conflicts'.


In recent years, scholars have taken an intense interest in questions
concerning identity. In comparative politics, "identity" plays a central
role in work on nationalism and ethnic conflict. In international relations,
the idea of "state identity" is at the heart of constructivist critiques of
realism and analyses of state sovereignty. And in political theory,
questions of "identity" mark numerous arguments on gender, sexuality,
nationality, ethnicity, and culture in relation to liberalism and its
alternatives. Compared to recent scholarship in history and the humanities,
however, political scientists remain undecided when it comes to work on
identities. Despite this vastly increased and broad-ranging interest in
"identity," the concept itself remains a controversy.


A "failed state" is one that has a "shattered social and political
structure". In the words of former Secretary-General of the United Nations,
Boutros Boutros-Ghali: 'A feature of such conflicts is the collapse of state
institutions, especially the police and judiciary, with resulting paralysis
of governance, a breakdown of law and order, and general banditry and chaos.
Not only are the functions of government suspended, but its assets are
destroyed or looted and experienced officials are killed or flee the
country. This is rarely the case in inter-state wars. It means that
international intervention must extend beyond military and humanitarian
tasks and must include the promotion of international reconciliation and the
re-establishment of effective government.'"


The Telegraph newspaper has reported recently in an editorial that Pakistan
is a failed state hosting both nuclear weapons and alQaeda's core
leadership; a unique combination which makes it the world's most dangerous
country. According to the paper, if threats to global security in terms of
terrorism, nuclear weapons and the spread of failed states are considered,
Pakistan stands at the nexus of all three phenomena. Whoever emerges from
the present political maelstrom to lead Pakistan will have to deal with the
country's unofficial status as al-Qaeda's heartland, the paper adds.
According to the Telegraph, the Pakistani state is so weak that armed
Islamist groups have a free rein over large areas. In Balochistan, an ethnic
insurgency is underway. In Karachi, Pakistan's largest city and the
commercial capital, a ruthless political machine linked to organised crime,
is in charge, while Peshawar is seen as the hotbed of Islamist zealotry.


Therefore, Pakistan for all practical purposes is very close to
disintegration, and could most definitely be termed as a 'failed state'.
Noted philosopher and political activist Noam Chomsky also recently said
that Pakistan was a "paradigm example of a failed state" that had undergone
an "extremely dangerous form of radical Islamisation." The country was now
in danger of "collapsing" as it grappled with rebellion, militancy and
extremism that was "getting worse". Asked to draw a parallel between the
situation in Pakistan and the characteristics of a failed state highlighted
in his book "Failed States", Chomsky said, "I am afraid to say Pakistan is
the paradigm example of a failed state and has been for a long time. It has
had military rule, violence and oppression." Since the 1980s, the country
had undergone an extremely dangerous form of radical Islamisation, which had
undermined a good part of the society, under the Zia-ul-Haq tyranny, he
said. "Now it is in danger of collapsing, there is a rebellion in
Balochistan, the (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) territories are out
of control and always have been and it is getting worse.

In view of this accepted and recognized fact that Pakistan is going to
disintegrate any time from now, it is important that all nations living
under siege of presently undivided Pakistan's military dictatorship should
begin efforts for their respective liberation as envisioned by me in my
earlier book titled "DIVIDE PAKISTAN TO ELIMINATE TERRORISM".


Being a member of a family which had migrated from India in early 50s and
settled in Karachi, the port city of presently undivided Pakistan, it has
now become my duty to caution my friends and brothers back in Pakistan
particularly in Karachi to stop dreaming about a united Pakistan. To
implement my vision of dividing Pakistan and forming 6 new countries in
South Asia by disintegrating Pakistan, I would like to start this campaign
by proposing formation of REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR. This book shall highlight
reasons, causes and necessary elements for the formation of Republic of
Jinnahpur. This is my humble prayer that Karachi should soon become Republic
of Jinnahpur. Ameen.


Formation of Republic of Jinnahpur is inevitable as soon as possible before
the Pakistan Army decides to launch yet another 1992-like genocide in
Karachi. I suggest to Mr. Altaf Hussain, leader of MQM which is the single
most influential political force of 'Mohajirs' (Migrants from India who had
settled in Pakistan at the time of breakup of United India in 1947) to
utilize these precious moments of his life by giving a call for formation of
Republic of Jinnahpur by launching Jinnahpur Liberation Movement under the
banner of MQM. I hope the people of Karachi will loudly say "YES" to his
call.


What I am saying is very simple. Urdu-speaking people living in Karachi,
Hyderabad, Sukkur and other cities in the province of Sindh (Pakistan)
deserve their own country. An independent country for Urdu-speaking people
will solve their economic problems on one hand and provide an environment of
freedom from the military dictatorship of Punjab province on the other. Time
has now come that the cruel domination of Punjab must end by all means. The
Punjabi military has been ruling Pakistan ever since its inception. The
Urdu-speaking great leaders who had struggled for the freedom of Pakistan
were brutally murdered as part of the Punjabi conspiracy to hijack the
country. It has become inevitable now that Punjab should no longer be given
the right or power to continue its control on other smaller provinces of
Pakistan. At least Sindhis, Pathans and Balochis have some of their regional
identities but the Urdu-speaking people have been compelled to become
Sindhis which is not possible. Urdu-speaking people have their own identity
and worth. It is not possible for Urdu-speaking people to become part of
Sindh. This attempt to make Urdu-speaking people part of Sindh has always
failed. This fact that Urdu-speaking people are independent in their
thinking and are able to represent themselves more effectively if they are
independent, should be accepted and recognized by the whole world. One
cannot force a French person to become German or a Czech citizen to become
Spanish or a Polish citizen to become Russian, similarly, one should also
not force an Urdu-speaking citizen to become Sindhi. Urdu language is much
different from Sindhi language. Not only language, there is glaring
difference in terms of culture, traditions, national character, vision,
approach, mindset and above all religious thinking. Indeed Sindhis are
brothers of Urdu-speaking people in their joint effort to get rid of
Punjab's political domination through achieving independence of Jinnahpur
and Sindhudesh. Urdu-speaking people cannot be forced to stay with Sindhis
forever and without their own right of freedom. Both Urdu-speaking people
and Sindhis deserve their respective identities through formation of
Jinnahpur and Sindhudesh. Both these nations are not ready to remain under
the umbrella of socalled Pakistan which is nothing but a political colony of
Punjab. This colony must, therefore, disintegrate without any further delay.



If other separatist movements in the world are accepted and acknowledged
worldwide, movement for a free and independent state for Urdu-speaking
people currently living under dictatorial siege of Pakistan army should also
be embraced by the United States of America and other Western nations. If
Kosovo can get independence in 21st century, why not Urdu-speaking people of
Pakistan can get their own country called Republic of Jinnahpur.
Urdu-speaking people are also intelligent, educated, hardworking and
politically sound to fight for their independence in the 21st century.
Urdu-sepaking people should not be under estimated or considered as any
regional minority of Pakistan. Urdu-speaking people represent the most
educated class in the presently undivided Pakistan. When it come to
educational statistics of Pakistan in the field of education, the
contribution of Urdu-speaking people is upto 80\%. It must be noted that
Pakistan without Urdu-speaking people is nothing but a jungle of illiterates
from Punjab and people in uniform who have hijacked this country for the
economic betterment of military dictators along with Punjabi bureacracy and
their families.



Republic of Jinnahpur shall be an economic capital of South Asia which will
beat Dubai and Singapore on one hand and become a great place for foreign
investment on the other. The deserving people of Republic of Jinnahpur will
have job opportunities because of billions of dollars of foreign investment
which is at present hindred because of terrorist activities sponsored by
Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and other military sponsored
organizations. Such terrorist activities conducted by Pakistan's ISI and
other military sponsored militant organizations have rather blocked the
economic progress of Karachi which in turn have created hurdles for the
deserving educated Urdu-speaking class to invite foreign investment into
Karachi. It is only possible if Karachi gets its independence and formation
of Republic of Jinnahpur shall ensure that the deserving Urdu-speaking
people will get their right of progress and prosperity under the banner of
an independent country called Republic of Jinnahpur.

Pakistan has been declared a failed state and therefore remaining part of
Pakistan means declaring ourselves as failed too. Urdu-speaking people of
Karachi cannot be classified as failed because it is due to them that
Pakistan has been surviving so far. Had there been no educated class making
contribution towards Pakistan's economic growth in the last 60 years,
Pakistan would not have reached to the level where it is now. However, due
to its political failure and its inability to remain as a sovereign state,
Pakistan is very close to its disintegration. In such a situation, it would
not be ideal for Urdu-speaking people to remain intact with Pakistan.
Rather, it is important that Urdu-speaking people should initiate their
fight for freedom while Pathans, Balochis and Sindhis should follow suit.
Republic of Jinnahpur can establish a precedence for freedom of all nations
currently suffering under the military siege of Punjab.

When I say "Punjab", I do not intend to include those great people of Punjab
who consider themselves as Ghulaman-e-Ahl-e-Bait (Servants of Holy Prophet
Muhammad SA, His beloved daughter Hazrat Bibi Fatima AS, His loyal
son-in-law Hazrat Ali AS, His beloved grand sons Hassan AS and Hussain AS)
and also the Seraiki nation who were wrongfully made part of Punjab province
by the cruel Punjabi politicians in order to gain monetary gains by
manipulating the total population of Punjab province. Even after 60 years,
the Seraiki belt has been economically kept backward while poor Punjabi
servants of Ahl-e-Bait were deprived of their constitutional right of
serving in the Pakistan Army because of Wahabi-oriented policies made by
Asian Hitler called General Zia-ul-Haq back in 1979 which kept Shia and true
Barelvi Sunni Muslims away from army jobs. The doors of Republic of
Jinnahpur shall remain open for such Punjabi brothers forever.

As for the Pathans, Balochis and Sindhis, I would like to convey my message
to them that they should also get up from long sleep. The Punjabi military
killed several Pathan freedom fighters, Baloch freedom fighters and even
stabbed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto who had brought back home 90,000 Punjabi
Prisoners of War. The brutality of Punjabi military can be evaluated on the
basis of their one single act that they stabbed and killed Zulfiqar Ali
Bhutto who was their rescuer from Indian prison. Not only this, the Punjabi
military recently killed Benazir Bhutto in order to wipe her off from the
political scene to keep the status quo alive. The murder of Bhuttos should
be sufficient for the Sindhis to wake up and get their own independence from
Pakistan by forming Sindhudesh. Similarly, independent Pakhtoonistan and
Balochistan should also appear on the world map in the nearest future.

The Urdu-speaking people are peace-loving people in true perspective. They
dont want any confrontation, however, they have their right to defend
themselves against the brutality of Punjabi army. The Urdu-speaking people
shall not become victim of yet another Operation Cleanup which was once
conducted by Punjabi army in 1992. Nawaz Sharif and his Punjabi political
team of hypocrites cannot succeed in their conspiracy to regain substantial
power again although they have just swallowed a bitter pill of shaking hands
with Asif Zardari, a Sindhi man and spouse of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. It is
important that Asif Zardari should immediately understand conspiracy and
hidden agenda of Nawaz Sharif and his political team of hypocrites who do
not possess any sympathy or love for any nation otherthan typical Wahabi
minded Punjabis. Nawaz Sharif is only waiting for the right time to confront
Asif Zardari and as such Nawaz Sharif will definitely attempt to get into
Pakistan's National Assembly through a by-election and thereafter challenge
Asif Zardari and Bhuttos' Sindh-based political party called Peoples' Party.
I cannot accept for any reason that Nawaz Sharif or his political team of
hypocrites would ever accept any Sindhi, Pathan, Baloch or Urdu-speaking
person to become Pakistan's prime minister. This is impossible for any
Punjabi hypocrite like Nawaz Sharif to extend his hand for cooperation or
affection towards any Sindhi, Pathan, Baloch or Urdu-speaking person in the
name of socalled political reconciliation. I ask all the politicians from
Pakhtoonistan, Balochistan, Seraiki belt and Sindhudesh not to believe Nawaz
Sharif and his false promises of mutual cooperation or other similar sweet
slogans. A snake is always a snake. Nawaz Sharif cannot be trusted.

I want all Urdu-speaking people living in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur and
other parts of Sindh to become active members of JINNAHPUR LIBERATION
MOVEMENT. This movement shall be non-militant and non-violent in reality.
This movement shall be run by Urdu-speaking intellectuals, educationists,
workers, students, businessmen and politicians. This movement shall be
peaceful and totally committed for creating international awareness about
the great demand for an independent state called Republic of Jinnahpur by
the Urdu-speaking people living under military siege of Pakistan army.


As it has been established that Pakistan is a 100\% failed state and in view
of the fact that living under military siege of Pakistan army in the
disguise of an artificial democracy which has brought the same old faces of
corrupt and cunning politicians from Punjab, time has come for the
urdu-speaking nation to get up and acquire their own independent country
called Republic of Jinnahpur. In order to achieve this task, there are many
hurdles. However, impossible is nothing. Either we fail to prepare or
prepare to fail. Urdu-speaking nation cannot afford to remain in such a
situation that makes them rather a third class citizen in Pakistan. They are
treated as "untouchables" like in India. They have no province of their own.
They have no representation in the National Assembly according to their
population simply because the powerful political parties from Punjab and
Sindh want to restrict their entry into mainstream politics. The illiterate
land owners representing the rural dynasty of Pakistan do not want educated
urdu-speaking people to outclass them. These illiterate landlords and
jagirdars want to keep their socalled superiority intact by depriving people
of Pakistan from educational prosperity. They dont want urdu-speaking nation
to spread their message of awareness among the masses and therefore these
land lords and jagirdars are biggest advocates of status-quo in order to
keep their control on the entire system of governance. Pakistan Army is the
military arm of such elements which desire their own supremacy all over
Pakistan. They dont want an educated urdu-speaking person to destroy their
plans of dictatorship whether military or civil.

I, therefore, suggest that MQM being the single political force of
urdu-speaking nation of Pakistan should do the following immediately:

1. TO FORM JINNAHPUR LIBERATION MOVEMENT IMMEDIATELY WHICH SHOULD COMPRISE
OF URDU-SPEAKING YOUTH, INTELLECTUALS, ARTISTS, BUSINESSMEN, STUDENTS,
RELIGIOUS SCHOLARS, POLITICIANS, WRITERS & POETS, JOURNALISTS, MEMBERS OF
CIVIL SOCIETY, EDUCATIONISTS AND PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE IN ORDER TO
ACCELERATE MOVEMENT FOR ACQUIRING AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY CALLED REPUBLIC OF
JINNAHPUR;

2. TO ORGANIZE A MASSIVE PLEBISCITE AND TAKE VOTES FROM URDU-SPEAKING NATION
TO CONSOLIDATE THEIR DESIRE FOR AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY CALLED REPUBLIC OF
JINNAHPUR;

3. TO COORDINATE WITH USA SENATORS, EU MEMBER STATES AND THE WORLD'S TOP
HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM AWARE ABOUT THE DEMANDS OF
URDU-SPEAKING NATION LIVING IN PAKISTAN AND THEIR RIGHTS OF EXISTENCE WITH A
SPECIFIC IDENTITY UNDER THE BANNER OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR;

4. TO APPROACH UNITED NATIONS TO SEND PEACE KEEPING TROOPS TO KARACHI
IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID YET ANOTHER "OPERATION CLEAN UP" BY PAKISTAN ARMY ON
THE PRETEXT OF ELIMINATION OF TERRORISM AND SABOTAGING THE MOVEMENT FOR
INDEPENDENCE;

5. TO FILE OFFICIAL APPLICATION WITH THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF
THE UNITED NATIONS TO RECOGNIZE INDEPENDENCE OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR AND
REQUEST FOR MILITARY AS WELL AS DIPLOMATIC ASSISTANCE OF THE UNITED NATIONS;


6. TO APPROACH MUSLIM WORLD AND DISSEMINATE INFORMATION TO THEM ABOUT THE
POLITICAL RIGHTS OF URDU-SPEAKING NATION AND NEED FOR AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY
FOR THEM;

7. TO ORGANIZE CONFERENCES, PRESS BRIEFINGS, SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS, MEETINGS
AND FORA IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD IN ORDER TO CONVEY MESSAGE TO THE
WHOLE WORLD ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE AND NEED OF AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY FOR
URDU-SPEAKING NATION IN SOUTH ASIA FOR PEACE AND HARMONY IN THE REGION;

8. TO APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP TO ALL REGIONAL AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL
ASSOCIATIONS, GROUPS, TREATIES, CLUBS, UNIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS (TRADE OR
OTHERWISE) ON BEHALF OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR;

9. TO FORM A GOVERNMENT-IN-EXILE OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR WITH IMMEDIATE
EFFECT IN ANY EU COUNTRY OR USA OR INDIA;

10. TO APPROACH PARMANENT MEMBERS OF SUCURITY COUNCIL OF THE UNITED NATIONS
TO SEEK THEIR CONSENT AND APPROVAL FOR FORMATION OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR BY
PRESENTING TO THEM ALL FACTS AND FIGURES IN SUPPORT OF THE IDEA OF AN
INDEPENDENT COUNTRY FOR URDU-SPEAKING NATION IN SOUTH ASIA;

SAY "YES" TO FORMATION OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR
