Some interesting facts about MQM.
When MQM initially won the elections in late 80's and early 90's, this was MQM's top leadership:
Chairman: Azeem Ahmed Tariq (the one in the picture)
Vice Chairman: Bader Iqbal
Secretary General: Imran Farooq
Deputy Secretary General: Khalid bin Waleed
Finance Secretary: S.M Tariq
Mayor of Karachi: Farooq Sattar (Last one alive)
Deputy manager: Raziq Khan
First 2 Senators: Nishat Malick and one more.
It is so regrettable and unfortunate that all these top leaders of MQM, except Farooq Sattar are dead, and all have been assassinated. It is also on record that all these leaders either left MQM (Bader Iqbal, S.M Tariq, Imran Farooq, Razik Khan) or developed differences with Altaf Hussain (Azeem Tariq, Khalid bin Waleed, Nishat Malick) before their death.
Interesting fact is that MQM has never ever tried to catch or even seriously demanded the capture of culprits who wiped entire leadership of MQM in last 20 years despite being in government for last 23 years.
It is also a well known fact that Azeem Tariq (the person in the picture along with Altaf Hussain) was known as an honest politician. He was admired for his strategic and peaceful approach to problem-solving, and his loathing for violence. Regarded as an icon of peace, honesty, and kindness in Pakistani politics, he was also well known for his soft-spoken tone and striking personality.
I do not disagree with the fact that Yes, MQM was started for a right cause but all of its honest leaders were assassinated for dirty politics.
