MQM is the result of sense of depreviation that existed in dat period in mohajir community. yeah it flourished in the era of late general zia .............. and he took benefit out of it as well coz he wanted to make weak ppp.
but if think that it was brain child of zia ul haq then it wud be wrong. APMSO was founded in the 1979 in the early era of zia. it means that there was crises of representation existed before zia, that who can represent urdu speaking community in the province of sindh.
the point i want to say that MQM if not had been created in the era of zia then we must had witnessed it soon after his regime coz things were boiling in the province of sindh. mohajir is majority in the hyderabad and karachi and few other cities of sindh. they can never be represented by sindhi or ne other leader due to their unique culture and other social factors.
so it is not right to say that MQM was conceived and created by zia and if zia wud not be there, MQM wud not exist.
if this wud be case downfall of the MQM wud be started right after the death of General Zia ....... but we see MQM won seats in sindh and national assembly in 88 after the death of Late Zia . still they are winnig elections in the karachi , hyderabad and mir pur khas.
( by the way i m not the supporter of MQM ......... so dont start blaming me .......... what MQM does .......... i m just saying that it is a political reality that still existed 22 years after the death of general zia)
on the other hand if u look at the PML Q the brain child of Mr. Musharraf within 1.5 years u see this party has fallen like house of card.
