Zulfiqar Mirza is being irritated by TV anchors to make him speak something in the heat of emotions which is against the law of the country. This way he will go jail and will be put to silence. He should be very careful not to be trapped by the TV anchors.
Someone needs to do a study on MQM supporters and their mindset. What are the reasons for their unquestioned loyalty?

Well MQM Governor has no authority. Please read the news carefully - this summary to accept resignation was made by PPP's Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah. Governor has just to sign formally as per constitution. Main decision to accept or otherwise is of PPP.

Another blow to Mirza by the hands of MQM
