KARACHI: Violent protesters, apparently belonging to Muttahida Qaumi Movement, on Monday surrounded the office of a private TV channel in the city’s Saddar area after calls from MQM chief Altaf Hussain to ‘storm offices of TV channels’.
The violent protesters also set a police mobile on fire and threatened a reporter of ARY News.
According to local media reports, Hussain in his speech earlier in the day had told the party workers “to storm the offices of TV channels”.
The MQM activists have also caused damage to shops located at Zainab market, forcing the owners to shut the businesses.
Traffic jams are also reported in areas surrounding the Karachi Press Club and I. I. Chundrigar Road with the road leading to CM House has also been shut.
Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has directed the IG Sindh to take stern action against those involved the incident.
I wonder how can these educated mqmers on this forum keep giving us lecture on tliban. but are hypocrite enough to support mqm even after seeing so many such incidents on mqm's part.
Rangers have sealed 9-0
All local leaders are under arrest.
Farooq Sattar is announcing goodbye to MQM. Now note that legally MQM is registered under his name.
Bhai ne 2-4 bottle charha kar baq sab ko marwa dya aur khud tun hoke sogae :D
There is no excuse on what have been said n done by mqm activists today. Specially the speech by altaf hussain is not acceptable at all.
I cannot support any one who says pakistan mudra bad.
And I can’t support Altaf Bhai’s today statement but I also condemn attitude towards MQM , Pushing anyone to the wall creates such results
Khas kar tun …

I have found that their arguments are very superficial. Their support and blind love for MQM (despite the extremism it engages in) is based on ethnicity, plain and simple. Furthermore, they also post a lot of false information here cleverly, some of which is sheer misinformation based on long heaps of unsubstantiated claims (which most of them dont bother checking).
MQM jaisey dramey bazz koi nahy, apney moonh pe thaper mar k khud hy rona shorro ker detay hain. MQM is a terrorist organization and its sympathizers should be treated as such. Just like the TTP who use Islam for their political ambitions, MQM has hijacked a whole community, urdu speaking people must be liberated. Why is UK](Facebook) mute on hate speech by one of it’s citizen. Altaf Hussain should be tried in a terrorism court and then hanged publicly in Karachi by his nuts.
Pakistan Muradabaad might be a unforgivable offense for people living outside of Karachi but as far as MQM is concerned, hold elections tomorrow and I challenge you that MQM will absolutely clean sweep Karachi, and that's the bottom line.
There's a group that directly votes for MQM then there is even bigger and more dangerous group that simply does not vote against MQM.
No amount of Pakistan Murdabad slogans from MQM is going to make a substantial difference to this reality.
