Re: Twenty provinces
Obviously, I did not wrote that MQM would win election and would get many seats from interior Sindh even if present system do not change. I only claimed that MQM do have huge support in interior Sindh (even though they get no seats) and if they would make further inroads, plus system becomes free and fair, they can win seats from interior Sindh too … and along with seats from Karachi and Hyderabad they could form majority.
In 2013 election they got 39 elected MPAs in Sindh Assembly compared to 69 elected MPAs for PPP. PPP loses 5 seats to any party and MQM could make coalition government in Sindh.
Here is report of MQM call for strike (March 2012) and people responding throughout Sindh, shows some indication of their support in interior Sindh.
