When MQM initially won the elections in late 80s and early nineties, this was MQM’s top leadership:
Chairman: Azeem Tarique
V. Chairman: Bader Iqbal
Secretary General: Imram Farooq
Deputy Sec general: Khalid Bin Waleed
Finance Secretary: SM Tariq
Mayor Of Karachi: Farooq Sattar (last-one alive)
Deputy Mayor : Raziq Khan
First 2 senators : Nishat Malick and ???
It is so regrettable and unfortunate that all these top leaders of MQM are dead now and all have been assassinated except Farooq Sattar.
It is also on record that all these leaders either left MQM (Badr Iqbal, SM Tariq, Imran Farooq, Razik Khan) or raised differences with Altaf Hussain ( Azeem Tariq, Khalid Bin Waleed, Nishat Malick) before their death
MQM is in power for 23 years in Sind and Pakistan’s federal cabinet, including ministry of defense and law in Sind for 8 years. The most surprising part is that they have never ever tried to catch or even seriously demanded the capture of culprits who wiped off the entire leadership of MQM in last 20 years???
