Why is MQM so annoyed by the footage?
Because their lies and excuses have been exposed.
"Rangers manhandled our people"
"We had licenses for the weapons" :D
Re: CCTV footage from 90 raid
No matter how much you hate MQM, i think they are right to ask, how did Mobi Luqman get a hand on CCTV footage?
Possible Answers:
1) He's given the footage by agencies. - Then why does he call himself a journalist, he is actually a agencies' bharti.
2) The footage is "leaked" from agencies' possession: Lets file a case against those who couldnt keep it and those who stole. Simple.
Another thing wut Mobi d!ck luqman does is that he injects conspiracy theories on its own.
For example, at one point he said there is a relation b/w MQM and taliban and they must be working together since there were US sealed weapons in 9-0. Seriously? It doesnt mean anything else except this?
And then I think he clearly endangered Amir Khan's life calling him a tout of Rangers and pointing his "chehl-qadmi".
But yes the simplest answer to OP's question is, it just increases MQM's troubles!!

Luqman is no doubt well connected. It's why he openly says what he wants without any fear of repercussions.
He said he was given the footage by a worker from within the building. It's pretty clear there were/are MQM workers who are working against them.
With regards to conspiracy theories, it wasn't really a conspiracy theory was it? Simply putting 2 and 2 together. Older US weapons given to the taliban in the 90s, they end up within the MQM. There must obviously have been some collaboration somewhere down the line for this to have happened.
Top man Mubashar Luqman, love him.

Well at some levels MQM and sectarian organizations are already working in Karachi...
I am sure the agencies would have leaked this footage, or maybe some one from inside who knows...Shouldnt MQM reply about the points raised in the video?

I agree he's "well-connected" with the agencies and thats wut makes him agencies' man. He is not a journalist at all. Just a spokesperson acting as an anchor.

Thats exactly wut a conspiracy theory is. If the guns had US seal it actually reflects wut Rangers said that the weapons were stolen from Nato containers. But there is no way it means that MQM and Taliban are hand-in-hand. I think there shouldnt be any doubt that they are exactly opposite to each other. Once again, if MQM is bad doesnt mean you start blaming for every thing that comes in mind. There should be enough evidences to support it.

Errr what? This is ridiculous.
Law enforcement agencies release CCTV footage to news agencies is not illegal nor an inappropriate practice! If that's the case BBC and CNN would shut down. I wonder if this is only an issue because might MQM is being exposed?

Pretty fair to assume that NATO weapons were stolen from Afghanistan, how did they then end up in MQM headquarters?
Calling Luqman an agencies man is ridiculous. Just because he's connected doesn't mean he's an "agency spokesperson". If he was, there's no way he would be banned for a single day, never mind for months. And there is no way ARY would ever be shut down anywhere. He simply says what anyone with an ounce of sense says these days. We can all see what's what. Even if you don't listen to any news channels/media/any form of news at all - simply drive through a main Pakistan city and the truth will hit you in the face.
Luqman has criticised everybody, including the military.
Re: CCTV footage from 90 raid
Luqman is a brave man. He is also well connected. I don't doubt his authenticity. He speaks his mind without fear. I salute him for that. Sometimes though he does go a little overboard but then again, no one is perfect.

Agree.
Don't see how anyone can doubt his authenticity. Like I said, just look at the state of the country.
And of Karachi.
No conspiracy theories needed. The truth is right infront of our faces.

Rangers conducting the operation are Pakistani. What is your point?

MQM itself may have stolen the weapons before Taliban got their hands on them.

Pretty unlikely.
If this alternative is true, this means MQM has thugs running around Afghanistan? Even more reason to get rid of the militant sects within this party.
Re: CCTV footage from 90 raid
If you have watched Saulat Mirza’s both confessions, one from 1999 and other few days back, you’d know how MQM got its weapons 
Re: CCTV footage from 90 raid
There is a reason why MQM always fought hard to keep Ministry of Shipments and Port to itself, so they easily steal and smuggle weapons into the City. It's a proper old school mafia.
