At first the MQM leadership tried to keep the murder under wraps. Meetings in different cities to mark the 57th birthday of the party’s founding leader, Altaf Hussain, were suddenly cancelled for “unavoidable reasons” and supporters were told by senior leader Dr Farooq Sattar to go home.
At the same time, the MQM leadership in Karachi and London went into closed-door sessions to discuss the situation arising out of the development. Reports from London said the police had cordoned off the apartment block and preliminary investigations had begun. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack so far and no arrests have been made.
But we need to also begin thinking through the many critical questions that remain unanswered:
- Was this a run of the mill mugging and murder in a large international metropolis, or an international political targeting?
- Or an inside job as its being reported that Dr Imran Farooq resigned from the post of convener of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) coordination committee.
- A statement, issued by the party, said that he resigned due to some health problems. However, sources in the party said that a misunderstanding between the members of the coordination committee and the party leadership living in London was the main cause behind his resignation.
- Is it an attempt to gain public sympathy as apparently absence of Dr.Farooq is not going to disturb party setup. Instead he was being close to Atlaf Hussain & he was loaded with all the inside secrets which in case leaked might have had devastated the party image.
- Will this case also remain unsolved like Azeem Ahmed Tariq?
- Why is the zionist media showing that scumbag Altaf Hussain whining like a drunk alligator whereas NO coverage is being given to the massacre of innocent Muslims in Kashmir?
- NO coverage is given to the flood affected people and at the same time the zionist media is trying its level best to shatter the morale of the nation while at the same time MQM is being promoted as the "only hope" and the "only revolution" for Pakistan?
- Why CIA and MI6 have provided day and night surveillance systems to their puppet Altaf Hussain at all his mansions and homes whereas at the same time they failed to protect one of the BACKBONE party members?
Now the point to ponder over is that what is the aim behind this despicable act? Let's analyze who received the most benefit out of it.
- Public Sympathy support increased for MQM
- Incrased party support for MQM
- Shaheed e Inqilaab (so called) title received by MQM's ex-backbone.
- Full media support (including GEO, SAMAA, ARY, AAJ, HUM, CNN, BBC, FOX, SKY, DAWN, JANG) for MQM
- In the coming regime, this incident might create a soft portion for MQM so that MQM can remain in charge of Karachi
Think.
