MQM-P’s social media inactive

KARACHI:

The Muttahida Qaumi Movemen-Pakistan (MQM-P) social media has been inactive for the last two months, party officials confided on Monday.

On the other hand, the social media platform of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) has been very strong currently from where the party is conveying its narrative to the people across the country and abroad.

MQM was the first party to introduce social media in Pakistani politics and its social media was so powerful that they easily conveyed their narrative to masses. Following MQM, all political parties started mobilising their social media.

Speaking to The Express Tribune, senior MQM workers said that the party has suffered a massive defeat in NA-245 election and now the party leadership has to figure out reasons behind the defeat.

However, the apparent main reason for the defeat is party's inactive social media, which was once the biggest weapon.

MQM senior workers said

that by-elections were taking place and MQM's social media has been inactive. MQM's official email id is also inactive, while the website has not been updated since long.
