Altaf Hussain is a paagal. He has destroyed so many lives for this tehreek.
Objectivity, which is the victim discussing with an MQMer, is the first casualty when the drive you have is your ethnicity. This is the opium LAtaf has given these so called 'muhajirs'.
They say they were the people who created this country. If this is their country, why they are still muhajirs? This terminology is dodgy and devious. Also, these Urdu speaking MQM supporters have this superiority complex. They think they are educated and cultured. Once they follow MQM and its violent politics, they reveal their culture and education.
Most of them come from very deprived and backward parts of India and actually coming to Pakistan gave them a lot than they could have expected.
This is true of all people who migrated to Pakistan. Not just 'muhajirs'. Since day one of MQM active politics, instead of uniting the nation, it has been dividing it. I some time feel, MQM playing the role of enemies. They have fight with all ethnicities in the peak of their power - pathans, punjabis and sindhis.

This type of politics is simply not acceptable. Middle class rights were trampled by the powerful 'elite' of the country. This 'elite' is always an exploitative club. Calling it one ethnicity or another and then targeting those ethnicities as your enemy is what has been a corner stone of MQM violent politics.
Arresting Altaf in late 80s or 90s was not possible. He was powerful then. Giving MQM political defeat in a free and fair election is a way to go. Also, this relentless operation against all terrorists, will further weaken this party or to say more explicitly, this brand of politics.

Personally I am what people or MQM lovers will always call an urdu speaker. However I am deeply ashamed of the way these people behaved after they came to Pakistan. As a person who has lost indirect family members to India I will never support Altaf. He is dividing us on the base of ethnicity.
Brother I think the problem is we fail to look at MQM and more particularly the muhajir identity critically. Moving from one place to another does not make one muhajir. Also what makes an MQM supporter unite with a Bihari or Madrasi but have a condescending view of Punjabis and Pashtuns. In reality I as a Lucknowi have nothing to do with a Madrasi. Women from Hyderabad have a strange urdu accent and wear a sari. Our lucknowi women rarely wear the sari and we have this aap janab. So there are differences between muhajirs but we have united under one name-muhajirs. Then why do we have so much trouble uniting with a punjabi or pashtun or calling them brothers? What is the entire point of our muhajir identity if it is only a source of division?
I remain critical of muhajirs despite technically I will never be accepted as a Pashtun which I want to merge as in the hope that communities will engage in self criticism and will not take ethnic identity so seriously. We migrants could have united the country-Quaid E Azam too expected us to be the glue of the country. But we divided ourselves into a new ethnic group and played politics on its basis which shouldn't have happened. Quaid E Azam would be ashamed of us.
The problem is my entire khandaan (the section that migrated to Pakistan-not those left back in Lucknow Delhi or Hyderabad) supports the MQM. No matter how much they are faced with evidence of MQM's tyranny and terrorism they refuse to give up on said party. That is why I have doubts about MQM disappearing anytime soon.
