Good posting and very informative. I know when living in US, a large number of MQM workers and supporters donated the income on a regular basis. My family and in-laws are living in Karachi for over 40 years now and I have never heard of any of my family or friends ever been approached for bhatta or anyone ever forced them to vote for any party. I am sure there are cases where criminals used a party's name for bhatta collection but it is not as wide-spread as reported by MQM haters.
