That i think is very interesting point. Army or whoever wants MQM to be there but no body wants Bhai to be dictating it. There is only so much you can do from thousands of miles away.

If MQM goes away tomorrow it will create a huge vacuum which would otherwise be filled by their rivals and it will change the demography of Karachi.

MQM is in a perfect position to have a election based Leader and run the party as per wishes of karachiwale instead of someone sitting in london.

Edit: if they have election based leader then they will actually eat away from the support of PTI. MQM will become most democratic party in the country and ofcourse with leadership structure changes there will be vision and way of working changes of the party too. I hope it happens.

LOL. If only things were so amusingly simple!

It is obviously inconvenient for you to admit that MQM has always been a brutally violent force from its inception, despite maintaining the facade of relevant political grievances. So many lives, families and livelihoods had been destroyed under their 30 years political thuggery, and if anyone somehow choosing an elected leader will miraculously sanitised MQM and make people forget the pain, trauma and sheer brutality of their institutionalised terrorism.

Yes, maybe the hardcore ethno-centric Urdu speaker voters would still vote for MQM - with or without Altaf Hussain - but in a multi-lingual, multi ethnic, urban and young Karachi, PTI had created a niche of its own. If any party that would get in trouble with genuine straightening of two urban parties in Karachi - MQM and PTI - it would be none other than PPP.
