Abstract

In Sindh politics, the MQM has played a significant role, especially in advancing the interests of the Muhajir community in Hyderabad and Karachi. Ethnic identity became a significant political factor as a result of its rise, changing the urban political landscape. MQM's journey has been characterised by disagreement, racial divisions, and internal fragmentation, even though it raised awareness of issues related to urban governance and political representation. Various MQM factions have arisen, such as MQM-Pakistan, which has distanced itself about Altaf Hussain, who additionally now resides in exile.MQM continues to be a significant political force in Sindh's cities in spite of these obstacles. Though its influence has diminished since its height, the MQM is still active in Sindh politics. The party's ability to bring its factions together and adapt to shifting urban areas demographic information and political demands will determine its future role.
