Former army chief Mirza Aslam Beg said on Friday the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) was established as a political measure to counter the Sindhi nationalist movement following the hanging of PPP founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

Talking to a private TV channel, Beg said the MQM did not exist before 1978 and was established on the directions of General Ziaul Haq, then military ruler, only to counter Sindhi nationalists who had lost Bhutto after Zia's military coup.

He said the caretaker government under Ghulam Ishaq Khan had decided to support the Islami Jamhoori Ittehad (IJI) to counter the PPP in order to balance the political atmosphere. "I think the formation of the IJI was a right decision at the time," he said.

Beg said the IJI were the only means that could create a strong opposition at the time.

He said former president Pervez Musharraf had created and supported the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) and the PML-Q to prolong his term in office, but no one had pointed that out.

Beg said he believed the Bahawalpur plane crash that killed Gen Ziaul Haq was "sabotage".

[Musafir117]

It's not make any sense, Zia created MQM to crash Sind Nationalist?
I think if he did that he want to eliminate JI from Karachi politics Karachi is clean from JI terrorists. Oh well, how Zia can do that? JI was his number one Jehadi collectors party as well as PMLN.
Very funny an urban party created for elimination of few rural parties
