WIZARDS HUSTLE AND FLOW Back-to-basics approach has team winning

BY MATTHEW PARAS

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

If the Washington Wizards plan on making the playoffs, they’re going to have to jump some teams in the standings. The players understand this, which is why Monday’s matchup against the Detroit Pistons mat- tered. Detroit entered the out- ing with the ninth-best record in the East — a game ahead of the Wizards. The Wizards came ready to play. Washington cruised to a 101- 87 victory in a Monday matinee at Capital One Arena, thanks to a strong defensive eff ort. The Wizards held the Pistons to just 40.3 percent shooting and gave up a season-low in points. “I thought the defense was outstanding on all parts of the game,” coach Scott Brooks said. “We got into the ball, we did a great job on pick-and-rolls and we rebounded the ball. We were really good. We give ourself a chance to win every night if we can rebounding the game.” The Wizards entered the afternoon with a defense ranked eighth over their last 10 games — all of which have been played without star point guard John Wall. The Wizards have allowed four fewer points per 100 possessions than their ﬁ rst 35 games with Wall. Washington, too, knows Wall won’t return this season, but they’ve responded with some of their best basketball of the season. From the start, the Wizards looked like the better team.

Th e Mohajir rights’ campaign was launched in Washington, D.C, last year by a US-based advocacy group, Voice of Karachi, under the title of #FreeKarachi on the Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

• Mohajirs are those whose forefathers had migrated from India’s Muslim-minority provinces aft er the partition of Indian Subcontinent in 1947.

• Successive military and civilian governments have disenfranchised tens of millions of Mohajirs in urban areas of Sindh through gerrymandering and systematic manipulation of census fi gures. More than half of Karachi’s population was wiped off in the last census fi gures.

• Widescale human rights violations in Karachi and other urban centers of Sindh province are a daily occurrence.

• Pakistani security forces, majority of them from Pakistan’s Punjab province, have killed thousands of ethnic Mohajirs in Karachi since 1992.

• Ali Raza Abidi, a US-educated Mohajir former lawmaker and a known critic of Pakistan’s military establishment, was assassinated in Karachi on 25th December 2018.

• Mohajirs demand the United Nations to constitute a high level commission to probe extra judicial killings, enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests and inhuman physical torture in custody of security forces.

In terms of numbers, the nearly 70 million Mohajirs are the second largest ethnic group in Pakistan. Th ey are also the single-largest ethnic group in Karachi.

Karachi, which holds an important geo-strategic location in South Asia and whose large secular Urdu-speaking population is a natural US ally, has been turned in recent years into a safe haven for jihadist and anti –US forces by Pakistan’s military establishment.

Th e people of Karachi are now demanding creation of Greater Karachi. Th e proposed plan of Greater Karachi includes Karachi and Sindh province’s other urban areas. Once a reality, it will be home to all those Pakistanis who believe in true democracy, co-existence, freedom of religion and expression, equality and supremacy of constitution and law.

Th e world community, the United States of America in particular, must support the idea of Greater Karachi. Th ey should also invest in educational, human development and civic projects besides forging a strong relationship with the people of urban Sindh. A prosperous and stable Greater Karachi will certainly be vital for peace in South Asia.

#GreaterKarachi voiceofkarachi.org

A Washington Times Advertising Supplement Karachi is among the fi ve most-populous cities in the world. Situated in the south of Pakistan on the shores of the Arabian Sea, Karachi serves as a transport hub and gateway to Central Asia, and is home to Pakistan’s two largest seaports, the thriving Port of Karachi and Port Bin Qasim.

• Since 1947, at least a dozen Mohajir-majority towns have been subjected to massacres in Sindh province leaving tens of thousands of Mohajirs dead, but not a single culprit has ever been punished.

• Mohajir intellectuals, scholars, and political and human rights activists are particularly targeted by the security agencies and their proxies.

• Karachi’s local population has no representation in the city’s law enforcement agencies

70 million ethnic Mohajir community faces gross human rights violations in Pakistan.

• On 25th December 2018, — A prominent former Mohajir lawmaker and graduate from Boston University USA, Ali Raza Abidi was assassinated in Karachi.

• Dr. Hasan Zafar Arif, a PhD from Harvard University and Deputy Convener of MQM, was extra judicially killed in January last year.

• Th is history of repression and denial of rights is what tells Mohajirs that like killers of Pakistan’s fi rst Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan, a Mohajir, and Prof. Zafar-Hasan Arif, killers of Ali Raza Abidi and thousands of other innocent Mohajirs will never be apprehended.

• Mohajirs have high hopes that the USA, as a beacon of individual and religious freedom as well as a defender of human rights, will take up their cause and hold Pakistan’s Punjabi-dominated military establishment accountable for its crimes against humanity.

• Karachi contributes between 65-70 % of revenue to the country’s treasury, but both the federal and provincial governments have deprived this mega city of even the basic civic needs.

• Th ousands of legally owned homes and shops in Mohajir dominated areas have been demolished recently under the false pretext of anti- encroachment drive.

Karachi and other urban areas of Sindh need administrative autonomy to run their aff airs. Prosperity, development and subsequent stability brought by administrative autonomy will benefi t all those forces who want to establish long term peace in this region.

Saving Karachi is in the interest of international community, US in particular, due to this great city’s strategic importance and its economic and industrial potential.
