Shadow of MQM’s Past Glory

On August 22, 2016, the MQM’s iconic address Nine-Zero was sealed as the party headquarters for Altaf Hussain’s Muttahida Qaumi Movement.

A four-year mark does not much of an anniversary make, but time does strange things. For those who are counting, at least, it has been a sad chronicle.

For this day in 2016 was the last day to have heard Altaf Hussain’s voice, at least in public, blasted out at industrial strength volume, at a gathering with thousands of upturned faced in rapt attendance. The MQM mohallah, consisting of Nine Zero, Lal Qila Ground, Jinnah Ground and Khursheed Begum Memorial Hall, is a shadow of its former self.
