The Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) is a political party in Pakistan with representation in the National Assembly (24 seats) and is in coalition in the provincial government of Sindh province. Conduct of political parties in Pakistan is a matter for the Pakistan authorities but in our engagement we encourage all political parties to act within the constitution and law of Pakistan.
