zahid | 8 years ago | Reply The entire old generation needs to go and newer younger politicians brought in. We need to live with mqm and I'm not even of the same cultural heritage as the majority of mqm supporters. Also do away with the term muhajir it's offensive. Let these Pakistanis clean up their own violent factions. No one else can do it.
