MQM: Let the games begin



That the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) isn’t by now adapted to the “chicanery” of its senior friend in the association central social family members portrays either naivete or proficient calculation.

In MQM’s covering, naivete ought more or smaller diagram be discounted because the party has used the advanced component of eight and a half years in vitality corridors – is relying, of course, its five-year stint with the beforehand regime. It is hard not to construe, if not master, the laws of vitality, no material how dysfunctional they may sense in our polity, in such a consecutive period. And yes the party has had its portion of failings, as have all other political players on our national chessboard.

Many contact the MQM has not regularly shown the fashion of maturity wanted of a top-notch political entity (but afterward neither have others), picking to turn every small suffered at the hands of its resistance into a make-or-break political issue. One cannot show obviously the threat of leaping off a political cliff too regularly, because at one point someone will call one’s bluff. And afterward what does one do? The dangers multiply after a administering party has an acquaintance in waiting (at least that is what the relative standing of PML-Q was in early January) and also has a small proportion more political snares higher its sleeve.

On Monday, when this less old friend forced out of the central social family members –for the second time in six months – the separation seemed close to irreversible, unlike in January 2011 after the likelihood of a patch-up immobile existed weeks after. This time the MQM faulted the rupture on the PPP’s “undemocratic and dictatorial behaviour” and the couple parties’ differences through the elections in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). But those are simply starts for the motion, not the actual cause.

It is safe to assume that the MQM has commenced posturing for the subsequent national election, even if it is a small proportion weeks resultant than the mainstream Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the more fringePakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

Now is definitely the season for rallying and assessing one’s compels in the political trenches.

As it is, the terminal year and a half of any central social family members tenure is regularly ripe for gamesmanship, with public captivate glossing through political expediencies. This is the serious time after all parties consider they can win through the hearts and heads of the people.
