If the standard is that any political party that has ever used violence for political objectives or that has acted as an instrument & political allies for military dictators that have directly violated Article 6 of the constitution should not be considered 'political' as their actions are fundamentally inconsistent with spirit of public representation... then all mainstream political forces in Pakistan would fail to pass this standard....., would that be a practical scenario I dont know, but unless a standard is applied uniformly..., its selective application would be considered subjective & biased
A federation cannot survive when the constituents of the federation have this level of arrogance & disrespect for other members..., this in & of itself fully justifies their choice of separation & unless all constituents of the federation are treated with equal respect the unfortunate process of division will continue.
This arrogance and disrespect is very evident in MQM, they look down upon other people of Pakistan is illiterate, stupid and what not. So don't blab about respect.

There is hell of a difference between skirmishes between political groups that occur inadvertantly in rallies of voting vs a party having a network of terrorism. The only parties that qualify to the later are MQM.

Status of some of these arguments can only considered your own subjective assessment
Its like saying that xyz person's father is not his father but his neighbour is his father as he resembles his neighbour more then the person that is supposed to be his father....,I am not arguing on the specifics of your allegation but only saying that its basis is your own asseesment which may be absolutely right but this holds no authority over those that do no chose to believe in what you are saying....
secondly, there are many other factors that you have chosen to ignore
- Making political leadership a heredity family affair
- Collaborating with the military in a military coup
- When occupying some position of power; following policies that have resulted in the weakening of the federation or its breakup...
the question is what is the 'Gold-Standard' on the basis of which one can quantify which is better or which is worse.

Some people will not beleive that Taliban are fighting against PAkistan, they will rather beleive in jewish conspiracy theories. If ethnicitiy has blinded you to the point taht you do not see the terrorism of MQM then ots your choice. As for objectivity, MQM has been declared as terrorist organization in Canadian court, thousands of cases are registered against MQM in anti-terror courts, there exists evidence of training in India, the terror cells were uncovered and showed live on national tv during 92 operation, and the most recently live coverage of its killing of 40+ people in karachi, if all that is not enough, then i guess nothing will be objective to you.
As for the thing staht you have listed, i have no love for any political parties, they will do anything to get tehir hands at the money, even if it involves collaborating with military coups, but, they do not perpetrate killings.

Firstly its not for me to pick but for you to understand...
Secondly, you have chosen to close your mind of possibilities...
you are either willing to presume (what you had call an ethnicity is not a single ethnic/cultural/linguistic block) a voting block is either acting as racist as the jews or acting as passive as North Koreans.., you are not willing to consider the possibility that their decision making process may be as complex & sane as yours & therefore there might be other explanations for their choice.

I have spoken to many people who have voted for MQM and come across two responses. They will either tell you that, every thing against MQM is a lie, ALtaf Bhai is farishta, he is the best thing that happened to karachi, OR, there are others who acknowledge criminal or mafia nature of MQM but say, "bund muthi meiN ziyada taqat hoti hai, is liye hum muhajir ko vote deiN gey"
