It is not just MQM or TTP but almost all other mainstream and nationalist parties in Pakistan which are actually supported or infiltrated by the Feudal class of Pakistan. May I suggest that we should not forget the role of the Pakistani Feudal class and that we should really revisit and research on the role of Feudal, their motives and objectives behind supporting all anti progressive forces in Pakistan.
MQM specially deserves more rational and unbiased analysis, as they enjoy a mass support in Urban areas of Sindh, it is not totally true that they win because of force and violence or rigging elections, they in fact enjoy a wide stream support from the people who once were in the forefront of democratic movements of Pakistan (please do not overlook the demographic facts e.g. education rate in Karachi is far higher than any other part of Sindh, and hence people living here are more politically aware and learned irrespective of their ethnic background) , whether it was in favor of Fatima Jinnah, in favor and than against Bhutto, or against Zia. Those people (called Muhajirs or Urdu-Speaking, both terms look stupid and naive after 50 years of inception of Pakistan and 4th Generation of Pakistanis in their youth and in a city like Karachi which is rightly called mini Pakistan) were perhaps the biggest threat to the Feudal class in Pakistan. Now they have been forced to be curbed and confined within the Metropolitan Sindh. It is a pity to see major nationalist parties in Sindh adopting a biased and anti democratic behavior against Muhajirs and as a result they are supporting MQM by proving it right. During 1980s a virtual wall was build between urban and rural population of Sindh, people were forced to migrate from both sides and violence, killing, looting, rapes all brutal means were adopted to support the divide (It is a pity no one has written anything for those who were affected, those stories still waiting for our attention). It was naivety of nationalists in Sindh and Pakistani Progressives in general that they did not raise their voice against it, they failed to realize the real motive and that motive was Feudal interest and preservation of Feudal status, which we can see is defended very well. If you have any doubt please revisit Sindh, and you will feel that divide in all walks of life. So those who were supposed to be aligned on basis of class struggle are now divided on the basis of race. Nationalists have been played with, and it is apparent from the famous term 'Sindh Card' we usually heard about PPP playing in elections.
TTP or Taliban should also be analyzed in same manner, those who were supposed to get united as a class are now divided on the basis of religion, they have been kept away from their basic rights of education and health while they are wasting their energies in Jihad. Now you can clearly realize why leaders are supporting them or supported them in past.
