MQM is in power for almost three decades. This is the first time in a very long time that they are not part of the government.

MQM has played an indirect role for strengthening taleban in Karachi. They started killing poor pashtun labourers in late 2007/2008 and then fought off ANP. The resultant vacuum was filled up by taleban. Now they can go cry foul.

Taliban and Pashtun are not synonymous. Taliban have strong support even among Urdu speaking people.

Overall MQM cannot be blamed at least for supporting Taliban in Karachi. MQM does not control police or other law enforcers. They are controlled by PPP provincial minister. So once again our PTI guy Jolie is off the mark.
Talibanization in Karachi is the result of influx of large number of displaced Taliban from FATA and KPK. MQM actually was the first to warn of that phenomenon but no one listened.

I despise current MQM policies. Will not vote for them. But that does not change the true facts.
