These are just a lame stories about media is scared of MQM because back in 2007 judiciary movement they stand against Musharraf who was an Army chief and also President of Pakistan....If they can stand in front of Army chief plus president then MQM is just a small group of two cities in Pakistan why they couldnt start fight against this group which is no where except Karachi and Hyderabad....
There are hundreds of incidents which prove the involvement in terrorism, pressurizing media, rigging polls etc.
The most recent is attack on the AAJ TV on May 12, 2010, when they were telecasting live MQMs terrorism. This terrorism was declared as Show of Power by MQMs master dictator Musharraf on the same day at a meeting in Islamabad.
They blocked most channels on many occasions on the directives of their Master dictator Musharraf in Karachi / Hyderabad.
Most of the journalists / media persons threaten to follow their orders and telecast whatever they gave them otherwise they were in meet the consequences. BOHARE BUND LASH
Most of these activities were only documented by Amnesty International and European Union delegations who supervised Elections 2008.
However, in Karachi the only independent media paper Dawn Group, brought into the notice to the Government and other about the pressurizing by MQM on them and hurdles created in performing their professional duties.

In the above links all the letters of MQMs persons in Government are available to pressurized Dawn to publish certain MQM materials. After going through the details, hopefully, no one in this forum try to defend MQMs in future.
