The MQM leader Altaf Hussain may need police protection as one of his owns may attempt to assassinate him. Following the explosive disclosures about the deeds and criminal activities of Hussain and his associates, the MQM leader has become a liability for the Party.
As Hussain goes down he may take with him many MQM leaders and activists. The fall of the MQM boss will be the end of thousands of beneficiaries of Altaf Hussain’s crimes and policies. Several of them will not only finish politically many may end up in British jails or deported from Britain.
With the MQM weakening, its rival faction, the Muhajir Qaumi Movement (Haqiqi), led by Afaq Ahmed will try to fill the political space in Urban Sindh. If that happens Karachi and other cities of the Sindh province will suffer from another phase of violence and gang war that could last for a long time.
After the Scotland Yard raided his home in London, Altaf Hussain had told his followers in Karachi over the phone that the British Government could plot to kill him. In this backdrop, if Hussain is found dead at his London residence, the MQM will immediately blame the British Government. He can be poisoned, or his murder may appear as a suicide.
