Call them urdu spraking or mohajirs, but they are a political reality of Pakistan's politics.

Karachi has been ruled politically by mqm for 3 decades, they are undisputed winner from Karachi but will they continue or not is the big question.

Mqm was a brain child of military establishment, made to marginalize PPP from urban centers of Sindh during Zia regime.

But this puppet became a monster for its master itself and they started operation Against mqm hard core militants.

Although AH and Mqm gave identity and birth to new ethnic group in Karachi called mohajirs.But Once the crown jewel of Pakistan due to their education and cultural became symbol of killing, torture, racism, bhatta, extortion, China cutting and raw ka agent due to mqm style of politics.

Sadly the custodians of traditions of hasrat mohani and liaquat ali Khan became

Aandha, tunda, paharri, kaana, commando, bakra ,langra, steel body, madhuri, chingarri, mamma.

Mqm was the darling of military establishment during Zia and musharaf regime but then came the bad cop RS and the rest is history.

Now Mqm is now in 4 pieces :

1 Mqm Pakistan
2 PSP
3 Mqm London
4 Mqm haqqaqi.


Mohajirs suffered a lot because of mqm but achieved nothing for themselves except an identity which itself is under scrutiny.

Today's karachities and mohajirs are a like a ship without captain trapped in storm.

In the eyes of mohajirs .

NS is an alien for them
Ppp is a Dracula for mohajirs
Pti is a back stabber

Mohajirs like
- Altaf as father of mohajirs nation
- Mustafa kamal as a dynamic administrator
- political wisdom and mannerism of Farooq sattar
- and stardom and national stature of musharaf.

And that's the main issue now. Mqm voters are completely puzzled about their future line of action.
Un fortunately AH became a tool of international players and started following their line and agenda.

And now realization is already there among mohajirs also that AH can no longer be the only political face of mohajirs and there should be some alternatives as well.

Unfortunately Karachi as a city, its MNAs , MPAs and leaders have became irrelevant in national politics now. They have no say and role in the political matters at national level and that's what bothering karachities the most. They voted for mqm for decades but this has made them irrelevant at the national level now.
Establishment has very cleverly played their cards this time and divided the Mqm vote bank and leaders using the policy of stick and carrot.

So in2018 elections

1.Will Altaf Hussain role as king maker in Karachi will be finally over or picture abhi baki hai.

2. Will there be a new mqm under musharaf

3. Is it possible that mqm London and mqm Pakistan become one again

4. Will PSP able to attract mohajirs voter or not


But the big question is, will Urdu speaking/ mohajirs community continue to follow this politics of ethnicity or we could expect any change.

I highly appreciate if mohajirs shares their views openly and their apprehensions.

Unlikely (if altafs - mqm) not there there or them boycotting there will be a large turn out in coming elections which will benefit religious parties like jamat e islami , MWM & PTI may from whatever low turn out there will be.

.

And rightly so, they need to vote for mainstream party. Maybe try with PTI before it become pathan PTI. Karachi will have even more seats after next census. If Karachi seats will make or break party trying to rule Islamabad then it will rightly get attention it deserve even if Sindh is ruled by PPP. If PTI get muhajir support then punjabi+pathan votes in Karachi are already in PTI pocket. While PPP Sindh+Baloch don't have enough numbers in Karachi to win many seats.

Nice question. Below lines says it all.

It's not like Karachi MNA and MPA of PTI will be from Lahore. They will be muhajirs in areas where muhajirs are majority. PTI then can forget about interior sindh though but it's not like there is much hope there.

Pti is highly disliked among mohajirs just like mqm haqqaqi.

IK and pti has never given any priority or importance to Karachi , their main focus is winning g Punjab.
Karachi is like garabbi in the pti political salaan.

PTI still have more support in Karachi then N League. Never say never, just look at Trumph. PTI doesn't need to win by landslide in punjab if they can win in Karachi, KPK and enough seats from punjab to form federal government. Kind of like PPP in 2008.
 
Mohajirs dont consider Altaf as father of mohajir nation. Majority of educated mohajirs dont even call themselves mohajirs let alone support a party like MQM. Karachi deserves to be separated from Sindh. If it wasnt for migrated Indian Muslims Karachi would still be like any other city of Sindh backward and full of bhutto jiyalas. Altaf just ruined the image of peaceful Karachites and we need to get rid of both of these cancers.

Its seems Your interest is more in making federal gov of pti then commenting on the topics regarding political options for mohajirs

Mohajirism is very deep routed now most of undu speaking dont agree with your opinion.

This is what you said

"Unfortunately Karachi as a city, its MNAs , MPAs and leaders have became irrelevant in national politics now. They have no say and role in the political matters at national level and that's what bothering karachities the most."

If you want Karachi MPA and MNA getting attention on national level then PTI is best option.

In that case muhajirs shuldn't vote for RAW infest MQM in next election, lets see what happen.

Yes I cannot speak on behalf of every Urdu speaker but all those who I met in Saudi majority of them are against MQM and those who support this party dont consider Atlaf as an angel but a necessary evil against PPP and ANP.
 
they are not going to change the vote, as punjabi,pathan,sindhi,baloch are not going to , sadly thats the bitter truth
