it is a dumb and naive article full of blatant lies and propoganda assumptions.


"During the election of AJKLA in July 2006, people of Azad Kashmir, a non urdu-speaking community, elected at least two of their representatives who had political affiliations with the MQM. First ever in its history, the MQM got democratic representation in a non-urdu-speaking region.

Though, MQM’s critics and political rivals allege that MQM got AJKLA’s membership only from those constituencies, which came under its direct control (the two AJK assembly seats, which were won by the MQM have their major portion of vote bank of Kashmiri migrants in Karachi and Hyderabad).
Thus, they doubt the election process and the results as well."

Yeah like they would have been elected if they were not held in karachi, which mqm controls like a mafia! which not only alledged by political rivals but also claimed by Human rights commission of Pakistan, the way they even have a constant problem with eidhi which runs Pakistan biggest ambulance network, and one of oldest and most respected humantarian in pakistan.

"Amazingly, it emerged as a political reality of Azad Kashmir after wining two assembly seats.

No doubt, after winning two seats in AJKLA the MQM has entered into wide-ranging politics of Pakistan. The AJK case could be a base for its political rise or downfall simultaneously."


you make me laugh, do you seriously consiously not aware of your naiveity if not blantant lies.


"Moreover, feudal mindset, which the MQM claims is its main challenger, is not much rampant there. People of AJK believe on democratic process and abhor the idea of being ruled by autocratic means.

Thus, the ground is very much fertile for the MQM to implant its agenda. This becomes more important in a milieu wherein after the reshuffle in the AJK government, the MQM is part of it."

Sir mqm is fuedals of Karachi, what exactly is fudel mindset the one who have no respect for rule of law who can't take political decent can't take opposition, threatens anyone who opposes them in there domain with voilence. Isint it all applicable on mqm?

"Moreover, the MQM could prove itself a harbinger of positive change in the lives of more than three million people residing in AJK."

yea like they have brought up positive change in karachi by crippling it with with mass curroption, land scams volience, ever wonder how many business have shifted from karachi to punjab only because of direct and indirect mqm problem karachi have, being direct when they have threatned them with there lives and property if they dont give away there demand for extortion, and indirectly cause of constant strife of volience prevelent which made it imposible to implement rule of law in karachi.
