The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Friday announced that it would be boycotting the re-polls of the disputed NA-250 Karachi constituency.

MQM leader Raza Haroon in a press conference said that the party would be boycotting polls because there was a “conspiracy” being hatched against them. He said that the party had been on the hit-list of the Taliban and had made enemies by taking up the delimitation of constituencies issue. He said that there was a clear attempt to steal MQM’s mandate.

 

This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly.

  14. There is no need to boycott re polling at NA 250. I think even now MQM has good chance to win or even if they loose, I hope not with a big margin.

  15. The boycott is the clearest indication of how they must have won this seat (and, of course, other seats) that they don't see any chance in case of re-polls which probably will be better supervised. If they were winning then what is point in boycotting?

  16. Great news, Tafu knows that he is going to loose this game. Champion IK will get this seat as well. I guess Altaf couldnt get his ordered "Borain" in time

  18. This Altaf is a Anti national /traitor ,he has hijacked MQM through guns and remote control.we are not MQM or its people but we are against its Leader who openly challenged pakistan,its people and its law.
    He openly showed he is a traitor,he shall be deporte to pakistan,hanged in public
    He said the same statements while in india ,ke pakistan ka banna ghalat tha.
    Dont know why people supports this traitor,a criminal who murdered fellow MQM leader in London.

  19. Without MQM there is no election that is what they think. What an immature political party They done enough damage to the integrity of Pakistan. If they decide to drown themselves in the Sea should take Altar Hussain because he is a great swimmer and architect of problems for Pakistan and Great Britain Good decision MQM

    • Are you kidding?! Only MQM can get mohajirs justice by rigging polls? I can't believe how people still support mqm with all the evidence right in front of us. And if MQM really truly won this seat without cheating then what are they so afraid of??

    • First, after 65+ years, the only Mohajirs are those Altaf and co create. Born in Pakistan? Then you are Pakistani unless you consider birth a migration from India.

      Second, Just like OTHER Pakistanis, you will have a hard time getting justice.

      Third, as a non-MQM supporter in Karachi, I have seen your 'heroes' in action. Not very nice people

  35. Like a spoilt brat of a child, the MQM throws a tantrum because no one can cheat but it!

    Be prepared for bloodshed and violence as the MQM thugs take to the streets.

  36. MQM Chickening out of a democratic contest – maybe they never believed in it to start with, maybe they've their own definition of democratic contest!!!!!
    In realpolitik terms they're trying to save their winnings – no doubt the status quo is mountainous. But the real moot point is – for how long???? Let assure you that it'll be less than five years and most probably 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 years 🙂

  38. By boycotting the elections in NA250, it has become clear like a bright sunny day that what agenda MQM follows and how much they believe in democratic process. All the time they wail about Punjab that there prevails the politics of Bradaries, Chaudharies and Jagirdars and it shows their prejudice against Punjab.

    Will anyone of them answer: Are not they doing politics on ethnic basis? If not, why still after 35 years of their politics they have gained no popularity in Punjab, KPK and Balochistan.
