Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan Terrorism
Summary: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (Urdu: متحدہ قومی موومنٹ, English: United National Movement) generally known as MQM, is a liberal[1] political party in Pakistan.[11] The student organization, All Pakistan Muhajir Student Organization (APMSO), was founded in 1978 by Altaf Hussain which subsequently gave birth to the Muhajir Qaumi Movement in 1984.[12] In 1997, the MQM officially removed the term Muhajir(which denotes the party's roots among the country's Urdu-speaking community) from its name, and replaced it with Muttahida ("United"). The MQM is generally known as a party which holds strong mobilizing potential in Karachi, having traditionally been the dominant political force in the city.[13][14]
Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) is currently the second largest party in Sindh with 37 out of 130 seats and overall the fourth largest party in Pakistan after the Pakistan Muslim League (N), Pakistan Peoples Party and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf.[15]
Accusations of violence[edit]
In the mid-1990s, MQM created widespread political violence that affected Pakistan's southern Sindh province, particularly Karachi, the port city that is the country's commercial capital.[29] In the mid-1990s, the U.S. State Department, Amnesty International, and others accused the MQM and a rival faction, MQM Haqiqi, of summary killings, torture, and other abuses. The MQM-A routinely denied involvement in violence.[16]
The party's use of extra-legal activities in conflicts with political opponents have earned it the accusation of terrorism.[30][31][32] The party's strongly hierarchical order and personalist leadership style led to some critics labelling the MQM as fascist.[30][33]
Designated terrorist organizations[edit]
In 2006, the Federal Court of Canada has declared MQM as a terrorist organization, not allowing party members to visit and stay in Canada[40] and considered it a serious security threat to Canada. Court said MQM is engaged in harassment of opponents and used crime to raise money for the party.[41][42][43]

There is no day of mourning, no business shut down, no committee is set up by the government to investigate the murders ? It happens only when MQM workers are killed.
