LONDON/KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) wants Governor Sindh Ishratul Ebad Khan replaced by its newly-elevated Deputy Convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, but this desire has left two factions of the MQM pitched against each other, The News has learnt.

Highly credible sources within the MQM’s UK and Pakistan chapters have disclosed to The News the inside story of what made the Governor Sindh to leave for Dubai with his family in a hurry, with the media speculating that Ebad had tendered his resignation in protest against the Karachi operation.

It is true, confided the a top source, that Governor Ebad had presented his resignation despite the reservations of several people within the party but it has not been accepted yet and the party remains divided over it. It is believed that the federal government has conveyed the message that it is keen on keeping Ebad as the Governor Sindh.

“Governor Ebad’s departure from Pakistan for Dubai has nothing to do with the operation by the Rangers. It has everything to do with the desire of a group within the MQM to get him replaced at all costs,” said the senior MQM source, privy to the party’s internal politics.

The source said it was decided at the “top most” level in the party – on the initiative of the London Secretariat – that Governor Ibad should resign and then the MQM will get Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui in the Governor House.

The source said: “Ishratul Ibad Khan is a widely respected figure who, through his untiring efforts, has advocated the case of the MQM in most hostile circumstances and has been successful. It’s his cool and calm demeanor and realism that has made him acceptable to all sides. He has always stood against radicalism but these qualities are hated by a faction within the MQM. Some hawks within the MQM don’t like him.”

The source said that the MQM had sharply divided recently on various issues and there was an increasing feeling in the party that a “select group from London, oblivious of the ground realities in Pakistan” uses its physical closeness to the party leader to get its desired objectives met.

This is not the first instance that the MQM leader has tendered his resignation and left for Dubai. He resigned several times before but withdrew his resignation on the insistence of Altaf Hussain and almost in all instances his resignation was not accepted by the federal government. His consistency and acceptability by all parties have earned him enemies within the party who think that Ibad doesn’t take a hawkish line.

The MQM has said that the Karachi operation is “one-sided” being run by the Sindh government. The party has agitated widely after its former MQM lawmaker Nadeem Hashmi was nabbed by the Rangers.
