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...
