It is worth mentioning that Altaf Hussain is the exiled founder and former leader of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), a party that rose to prominence in the 1980s as a voice for the Urdu-speaking Muhajir community in urban Sindh, particularly Karachi and Hyderabad.
Hussain moved to the United Kingdom in the early 1990s amid a crackdown on MQM and has lived in self-imposed exile in London since then.
In 2016, following a controversial speech in which he allegedly incited violence, Pakistani authorities launched a crackdown on MQM’s operations in Karachi, and the party was split into various factions, most notably MQM-Pakistan and MQM-London.
