Why media Favor MQM???

[YAHYA87]

There is a question about a party called MQM in the minds of many members of this website so in order to answer those question I have started this topic....According to me their might be many reasons for that

1. ethnic factor: As you all know about all mainstream media in Pakistan like GEO, EXPRESS, ARY, AJJ. If you search about their owners them you will get this information...
GEO is owned by Mir Khalil-ur-Rehman who is urdu speaking.

EXPRESS news is owned by Lakhani group which are Memon and Ismaili.

ARY is owned by owned by Abdur Rehman Yaqoob who is also Memon.

AAJ TV is the mainstream TV channel which dont have any ethnic connections with MQM but they do have political connection as it is owned by Salman Taseer

2. Performance of MQM ministers are much better then other ministers...Over here I dont need to mention Mustafa Kamal, if you look at the performance of Baber Ghouri (ports and shipping) you will acknowledge that karachi shipyard which was continuously showing losses sice ZA Bhutto has final made some profit(watch Lucman interview with Baber Ghouri) and another reason is MQM was playing role of opposition few months back in many issues most especially NRO.

3. MQM is very strong in the financial Hub of Pakistan that is Karachi and now becoming stronger in areas like Clifton and Defence which are posh areas in karachi and many business men, stockbrokers, CEOs of multinationals, and other influential people are living and media is always hungry for sponsership and advertisments.

4. All these media have the biggest viewership among urdu speaking and most urdu speaking support MQM so media dont want to loss them as well.

5. Almost all media stations are in Karachi that is another reason because it is easier for media to understand MQM point of view as compare to others.

Have your say on that and requested to at least came up with sensible post...

Aaj TV is owned by the Zuberis (business recorder owners)
I know this because they are my relatives and they are urdu speaking nonetheless they have no love for Muttahida. (they are pro-establishment)
IT IS THE CIA THAT HELPS MQM GET THE MEDIA SUPPORT.

Thanks for correction so Owner of AAJ TV is also Muhajir then this means that all the mainstream media is owned by Muhajir or Memons....and as Muhajir they have something for MQM as well..

It is not ethanic problem all owners are bussines people and they have other bussineses too nd they have to live in khi they donot afford taking phadda with bhattakhores

Media's favorite party is PML-N. Recently, Geo program Capital Talk covering NA-55 election made special note to remind people that Sheikh Rasheed was part of Musharraf govt. and Musharraf govt. committed Lal Masjid massacre, after election Nawaz league has chosen to forget Lal Masjid issue [hope their supporters remind them about giving Lal Masjid victims the justice they campaigned on]. Media also ignores whenever on the face of crisis someone of Mian Sahab's family gets ill, the disease is so rare Mian Sahab has to leave the country to get it operated as if doctors arent available in Pakistan.

He is Dehli based Punjabi who migrated to Pakistan from Dehli just like Altaf Hussain's family from nearby Agra and he is like Punjabi speaking Muhajir of Karachi so as he got his routes from India so as a result he also got sympathies for MQM as well just like other owners of mainstream media....

It was just recently during NA55 because he might got crush with Sheikh Raseed(Musharraf) and also with PPP(Zardari) so that was the reason because he found two targets from one bullet so he pressed the trigger..

Thats very old excuse my friend because I myself live in Karachi and never experienced such Bhatta, extortion and other things in Karachi in my whole life even though I myself live very near to MQM sector office and BTW even people from Defense, Clifton(Where most Businessmen actually live) now support MQM as recently Khushbakht Shujaat have won from that area and also their support in that areas are increased as well...On the other hand in Karachi the influential Business community is Memon and they support MQM just like Muhajirs because they have almost everything in common with Muhajir and also because MQm' Farooq Sattar who belong to top chain of MQM leadership is also Memon...

 

[Knowledge Seeker]

We should ask one question to ourselves before we start any thread on any forum ``will my post be beneficial for the unity of ummah or will it cause the further division and hatred``

Ethnical and Sectarian issues are very sensitive to discuss. It could result in serious consequences if not handle properly.

There are over 30 news channels working in Pakistan under the ownership of mixed ethnical background. The leading electronic and print media Group GEO or JANG is owned by Punjabi Family (Mir Khalil ur Rehman & so on) but it doesn`t mean that we should affiliate the group with PML(N).

In Fact, People of Pakistan were accustomed of knowing the view point of political parties only through PTV before Pervez Musharraff`s ruling period. As all of us know that PTV used to broadcast Govt. agenda and many programs were banned after criticism on minister of ruling party even in comedy show (e.g. Anwar Maqsood`s shows & so on). In history, We could never know the view point of other parties except ruling parties (PPP & PML (N)). MQM was politically victimized by both parties in Past and PTV only showed the agenda of Govt. against MQM.

Now Situation is changed and every party is free to clarify the accusations through media.In deed, Most of the facts revealed through electronic Media regarding MQM issues are normally contrary to our mindset and perception about MQM that is why it is very hard to digest because of our ego.

May Allah give us unbiased attitude towards Mankind.

Thats what I am talking about that our ego is the biggest problem and due to that we dont want to accept even a good work done by MQM and if you look at most PTI supporters you will find this problem about MQM more then any other even if you ask MQM supporter about Imran Khan he would say "I like him as a social worker but not as a politician" and he might have his own logic for that but when we talk about MQM then every logic has been denied so their is a serious problem of ego that need to get rid of in order to understand the ideology....well said Knowledge Seeker [clap]

Yahya sahib aap k liay main simple sa answer de deta hoo, shaied aap ko gussa bhe aey, aur agar neutral ho ker k sochein gay to shaied mera point aap ko samjh bhe aa jaaey ga.

@YAHYA 87 i being a PTI supporter,support MQM for it great work done set an example for PAKISTANIS AND POLITICIANS that pakistan is changing BUT i still am against MQM,you are right about the ego point that we are born egoistic ,but we don;t let this jewel out we instead protect this jewel,BUT IN A WAY or another we let this jewel when we get emotional,

YAHYA we must agree upon one thing that PAKISTAN needs parties like MQM and PTI but people still don't accept us both BECAUSE ACHAY KAAM HUMAISHA DAIR SAY HOTAY HAIN,CHANGE PREVAILS WITH TIME.

AND ABOUT MQM NOT BEING ACCEPTED WAS SAID IN A NATIONALISTIC MINDSET as MQM supporters have the mindset that for them karachi and hyderabad is their WHOLE PAKISTAN. :)

Except GILGIT AND BALISTAN region,i seriously don't see MQM anywhere,MQM gets votes still in KARACHI on MOHAJIR basis,buddy things in PUNJAB,NWFP,and in ISLAMABAD don't work like that as MQM and it supporter's think so,i appreciate MQM where it's credit is due,but i have my own reservations and majority of people here have these reservations,MQM has to also strugle to get it's role in nationalistic politics
