mqm has hijacked the economic hub of Pakistan, killed thousands and thousands of Pakistanis in Karachi and Army personnels included. so I see no difference between taliban and mqm terrorists. both should be eliminated !
Its a conscious decision of British authorities to keep a check on Pakistan. MQM held sway over Karachi when Altaf hussain fled to UK.
He was given British citizenship and asylum because he is a useful accessory to keep Pakistan weak. By paralyzing Karachi, his MQM can pretty much bring Pakistan to stand still economically.
MQM political set up is an effective network to gather intelligence and to subvert. they use their sector and unit hierarchy to do that, to know who is voting for whom, which household has what type of political affiliation. If any household or business owner is against MQM. This is how they hunt the people who oppose them in Karachi.
All of this network in Karachi has been used by British MI-6 as revelations in Daily Telegraph and Guardian have come to the fore in Imran Farooq and money laundering case.
Now no foreign intel would tell you to gather info for you. They just use your network to glean info they need. This is what MQM and Altaf Hussain had been doing. MQM may be unknowingly, but Altaf Hussain definitely knows.
There are many illegal Pakistanis, who work very hard, pay taxes but yet dont qualify for UK citizenship. How does Altaf Hussain gets it, is not a question of conspiracy but of intrigue & that too against our country - Pakistan
