The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) is a political party in Pakistan that primarily represents the interests of the Urdu-speaking population, known as Muhajirs. Founded in 1984, the party emerged from the need to address the socio-economic issues faced by this community, particularly in urban areas like Karachi and Hyderabad. MQM has been influential in Sindh province, advocating for the rights of its constituents through various political and social initiatives. The party has experienced significant political challenges and controversies over the years, including allegations of violence and corruption, but it remains a key player in Pakistan's political landscape.
