The Mohajir Qaumi Movement Pakistan^[2]^[5] (Urdu: مہاجر قومی موومنٹ پاکستان) also known as Mohajir Qaumi Movement (Haqiqi), MQM-Haqiqi^[6] is a political party claiming to represent the Mohajir in Sindh, Pakistan whose leader is Afaq Ahmed.^[7]

History

The Movement was originally established by Altaf Hussain in 1978 as All Pakistan Mohajir Students Organization (APMSO), in Karachi University. Originally, the movement was known as "Muhajir Qaumi Movement", a break away faction from the original Mohajir Qaumi Movement which was later established as the "Muttahida Qaumi Movement", headed by Altaf Hussain, who is living in self-exile in London.^[1]

In 2016, a separate party, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement – Pakistan, was created by Farooq Sattar, who split it from MQM founder and leader Altaf Hussain. The MQM-Altaf based faction was later rendered as Muttahida Qaumi Movement – London.^[8]

Controversies

Afaq Ahmed's imprisonment

Ahmed was arrested in 2004 but, after almost eight years of imprisonment, the court had not found him guilty of any charges and, on 17 December 2011, the Sindh High Court declared that Ahmed's imprisonment under the "Maintenance of Public Order" provisions was illegal and ordered him to be set free. A crowd gathered outside of the jail to welcome their leader.^[9]^[10]

Urban Sindh province

Afaq Ahmed has advocated for the creation of a "Muhajir province" or "South Sindh" province.^[6]
