On the 22nd August 2016, Altaf Hussain’s speech filled with hatred about Pakistan went viral on media. The directives charged the crowd and within minutes offices of various news channels were attacked for which law enforcement agencies promptly acted and got the horrifying situation under control. Offices of MQM were sealed, several workers including the senior Parliamentarians were arrested.

The Parliamentarians in custody of law enforcement agencies withdrew their support and denounced further loyalty to Altaf Hussain. With this came out a new party into existence –  “MQM Pakistan” headed by Dr. Farooq Sattar.

Recently, an audio call of a known member, Salman Mujahid Baloch surfaced on media in which he was threatening to give petrol around the city free of cost. His driver also shared serious allegations against him and the matters got worse. However, all of this did not end here with Salman Mujahid Baloch – when the ex-member of MQM Irum Azeem Farooque landed in Karachi, things went tenser for him.

She was being considered as an option to be brought back to the party but serious reservations were made by a faction in MQM including Salman Mujahid Baloch. A day later Salman Mujahid Baloch was dismissed from the party and this made headlines on many news channels. Instead of a reasonable reply to defend himself on media, he went below the belt for Irum Farooque. He also stated that a faction within MQM Pakistan still has cordial relations with their ex-leader Altaf Hussain.

Irum Farooque has now flown abroad due to the security threats hurled by Salman Mujahid Baloch. She stated that she will register a case with FIA Cyber Crime Circle soon after she returns to Pakistan again. After the emergence of the situation, she did not remain tight-lipped – she released various video clips on her Facebook where she was seen alleging Salman Mujahid Baloch of corruption.

Additionally, Irum Farooque stated that an illegal Corolla car of DMC West Karachi is being used by Salman Mujahid Baloch. She also alleged him and other members of his group of being involved in extortion that amounts to Rs 2.5 Million from DMC West.

The situation has engulfed the entire MQM Pakistan and it needs to be addressed within the trembling new party, which is yet to prove its existence. Also, it is essential for government departments to investigate the corruption charges on a parliamentarian alleged by his ex-colleague.
