Afaq announces movement for Karachi's issues

Mohajir Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chairman Afaq Ahmed on Tuesday announced a new movement to address the city's problems.

He urged citizens to display white flags on their homes and vehicles as a symbol of the movement. On April 12, he plans to hold a major public gathering in Karachi, where he will make an important announcement.

Speaking at a press conference at his residence, Afaq Ahmed stated that their foundation day is a time to reaffirm their commitment. "We take pride in our identity. I am proud to be a Mohajir, and I dedicate this day to those who sacrificed their lives for the Mohajir cause," he said.

Following the political activities of MQM-Pakistan, PPP, Jamaat-e-Islami, and PTI, the Mohajir Qaumi Movement is now set to establish its presence in Karachi's political landscape, with Central District as its new hub.

In an interview with Express, Afaq Ahmed revealed that a large segment of the Mohajir community resides in Central District, yet no political party besides MQM is addressing their concerns. He confirmed plans to open a party office in the district and temporarily relocate there, ensuring closer engagement with the community.
