Pakistan's largest city has come to a near standstill following the killing in London of an exiled leader of the powerful Muttahida Qaumi Movement.
Mr. Farooq was the leader of the influential
Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), one of Pakistan’s more liberal political parties that draws most of its support from the province of Sindh. The Pakistani government is now bracing for a new wave of ethnic violence in Karachi similar to that which saw dozens killed and hundreds injured after
Raza Haider, another MQM member, was gunned down last month while attending a funeral.
If the situation on the ground in Pakistan continues to deteriorate, a ‘temporary’ period of martial law or an outright military coup is the likely result.
“A political motive could prompt the MQM to withdraw from the governing coalition… If there is any evidence that the security forces are behind this or it is politically motivated, then there will be turmoil. The MQM is capable of creating a lot of problems for the government."
