I am very disappointed with Farooq Sattar. Unfortunately it seems that Altaf is still running the party despite MQM’s claims. Reasons being:

• If MQM had removed Altaf then we should be seeing at least some friction, some differences, some heat between London and Karachi leadership. In fact there is none. Strange.
• Whoever left Altaf without his permission gets death threats. Example being Amir Liaquat. But no death threats, or any threat, against Farooq Sattar or other MQM leaders.

Above were the criteria I was using to say that MQM is still being run by Altaf. But recent events have shown otherwise:

• Farooq Sattar has asked for more security for new temporary MQM headquarter in PIB colony. There also is wall-chalking there by some ‘Badla group’. So they do fear for their safety after going against Altaf.
• Wasay Jalil in MQM has refused any MQM without Altaf. So there is an obvious disagreement between London and Pakistan MQM secretariats.
  MQM is also going to raise a resolution in National Assembly, condemning Altaf.

I would say these events show that minus-Altaf really is a genuine thing in MQM.
