‪#‎MQM‬ Chief Altaf Hussain has been arrested then released on bail by British Police in connection with money-laundering investigation.

MQM's stronghold city of ‪#‎Karachi‬ was effectively shut down immediately after the arrest.

What is next?

Will Altaf Husain be tried and convicted on money-laundering charges?

Will there be additional charges brought against Mr. Hussain?

What will happen to MQM if Mr. Hussain is convicted and sentenced to a long prison term?

Will MQM split up?

Will its armed members and sector commanders in its militant wing in Karachi take orders from any one other than Mr. Hussain?

Will violence further escalate in Karachi?

ViewPoint from Overseas host Misbah Azam discusses these questions with Pakistani author and journalist Zahid Hussain, Ali H Cemendtaur and Riaz Haq (www.riazhaq.com)
