After the overthrow of Nawaz Sharif Government by General Musharraf in 1999, the real rulers of Pakistan have been the MQM. It is no coincidence that the Sindh province has had the same Governor – Dr Ishrat al Ibad – who is the nominee of MQM Leader Altaf Hussain, during Musharraf as well as Zardari rule. It is no coincidence that the caretaker Chief Minister is also a Mohajir. It has been a part

It is quite customary and ritualistic for the world leaders to greet and extend their good wishes to the winner of the general elections of a country who is likely to form the next government.
