Psychological Warfare in Libya & Pakistan.

LONDON: MQM chief Altaf Hussain on Friday kept the entire country on edge for hours as he addressed his workers and journalists from London, complaining about conspiracies to eliminate him and breaking up Pakistan but repeatedly offered the services of his party to the Pakistan Army and ISI to help save the country. In detail, Altaf Hussain, went through various articles and books written mainly by authors linked with various US think tanks and organisations writing so-called research papers about the ‘anarchy’ in Pakistan and also the Balkanisation of Pakistan on ethnic lines. Altaf Hussain emphasised that he wanted to share the anti-Pakistan information with the nation to take the nation into confidence over what conspiracies were out there against Pakistan and how serious and actual the threat was. US gave Wali millions of dollars to win polls - KARACHI: MQM chief Altaf Hussain said on Friday that the United States gave Asfandyar Wali Khan millions of dollars to ensure the success of the ANP in the 2008 general polls. Addressing a video press conference, he said he had no documentary proofs in this regard. “My party is not against the Pashtu speaking people,” he said, alleging ANP Sindh chief Shahi Syed, on the order of Asfandyar Wali, had ordered the ANP activists to open direct firing on their opponents on May 12, 2007. DAWN: A dash of religion was added now and then. To add gravitas to the press conference, books and articles written by journalists and think-tanks and half-baked political analyses of little-known authors were quoted as well as shown to the audience – highlighted and marked with notes. But their significance remained well hidden as it was difficult to follow the grand sweep of the narrator’s views. The gist of the press conference was that Western powers were plotting the dismemberment of Pakistan, but the Muttahida had resolved to foil the design. Repeated assurances were made to the armed forces, the Inter-Services Intelligence as well as the nation that the MQM was against conspiracies being hatched against the country.
