I saw a meme in Pictures thread and it said: Altaf Hussain got the British citizenship in less than 10 years, but Urdu Speaking community of Karachi is still branded as ‘Muhajir’ by MQM even after 68 years of migration. Now this what propaganda and politics of hate looks like.

Here again, there is misconception and propaganda working at its height.

Those who call themselves Muhajir do not mean that they are ‘Muhajir as one who migrated’ but use this word to determine a community. For instance, there are many Punjabis who call themselves Rajput… but that does not mean they are Children of Raja, even though Rajput means children of Raja. Similarly many call themselves Arayeen, Lohar, Kashmiri, etc. Why dont you ask those who call themselves Kashmiri when they have left Kashmir 100s of years ago? …

In Sindh we have Baloch, Mirza, Bhutto, etc … so are they now really Baloch after settling in Sindh for years (from Baluchistan?), Mirza (from turkey?), so are they really Mirza? … or Bhutto (a twisted name for Bhatti, those whose ancestor’s used to work in brick kiln factories) are now brick kiln workers?

Well, Muhajir is used by some in Karachi as name for recognition, not to say that they have migrated. If you could understand that then there would be no confusion.
