The Muttahida Qaumi-Pakistan movement (MQM-P) faces internal agitation after an organizational reorganization that has caused protests between party workers and has highlighted divisions within the leadership.
The restructuring, announced on Saturday, placed high -level figures, including the Anees Qaimkhani, Aminul Haq and Dr. Farooq Sattar in key positions within the Central Organizing Committee.
However, the measure was found with resistance from the ranks of the party, since the workers gathered at the Headquarters of Bahadurabad, demanding more transparency and consultation in the leadership decisions.
During the demonstration, the workers sang in support of the Coordinator of the Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui party while expressing opposition to the former mayor of Karachi, Mustafa Kamal, who remains a divisive figure within MQM-P.
The group also protested against the assignment of the governor of Sindh Kamran Tessori as the position of the Provincial Parliamentary Committee.
A video that circulates on social networks shows that the two groups face.
Some members accused the leadership of marking key figures without prior discussion, while the reports suggested that small fluff broke out between party workers and officials during the protest.
In addition to the tension, speculation arose regarding the role of the governor of Sindh Kamran Tessori in the reorganization, with unconfirmed reports that suggest slogans they raised against him.
Despite the growing dissent, MQM-P leaders sought to minimize the crisis. Farooq Sattar defended Siddiqui, rejecting any suggestion of a vote without confidence against him.
“There is no need for such movement, nor the constitution of the party provides it,” said Sattar.
He asked the unit, warning that any division at this stage would weaken the party and hurt its political position. Sattar acknowledged that there were differences but insisted that they should be handled internally.
He added that any concern derived from the previous fusion agreements between the party’s factions could be resolved through dialogue.
In response to the riots, MQM-P issued a statement that dismissed the reports of an important division.
The party said that “certain elements” deliberately exaggerated the situation to create internal conflicts.
“A well-planned attempt is being made to damage the MQM-P unit,” said the statement. He urged workers to remain disciplined and not fall into erroneous information.
MQM-P also asked the media to verify the information before transmitting news about internal matters of the party, insisting that it remains a democratic organization where the differences are natural and addressed within the structure of the party.
