MQM | From Resistance to Submission | Amir Zia Full Podcast with Mazhar Abbas | Narratives

Описание: In this episode of Narratives, Amir Zia speaks with senior journalist Mazhar Abbas about the changing politics of MQM, the removal of Kamran Tessori, and what this means for urban Sindh and Karachi’s political future.

The discussion examines how MQM has moved from a party known for resistance and street power to one seen today as politically weakened, divided, and increasingly dependent on outside power centers. Mazhar Abbas explains the internal fractures within MQM, the Bahadurabad and PIB factional history, the role of the Governor House in Sindh politics, and why the party’s response to recent developments has remained so muted.

The podcast also explores the wider political picture: the role of PPP, PML-N, Asif Ali Zardari, Nihal Hashmi, and the future of governance in Karachi. The conversation looks at whether MQM still has political relevance, whether it can rebuild itself through grassroots politics, and why empowered local bodies remain central to solving the problems of urban Sindh.

This is a detailed and important conversation on MQM’s decline, Karachi’s governance crisis, Sindh politics, and the future of urban political representation in Pakistan.
