Mohajir Qami Movement-Haqiqi (MQM-H) is a terrorist organization operating in the southern Sindh province of Pakistan. The organization is based in Karachi, the province's capital and Pakistan's largest city with over 14 million people, of which roughly half are mohajirs. Mohajirs are Urdu-speaking Muslim migrants who moved to Pakistan from predominantly Hindu India after the 1947 partition of India that followed the withdrawal of the British. <p><br />MQM-H was founded as a splinter faction of the original MQM in June 1992 by Afaq Ahmed and Aamir Khan, rivals of then-leader Altaf Hussain. Members of the MQM-H had accused Altaf Hussain of being 'too soft' and unwilling to take strong and decisive actions. Altaf Hussain's faction of MQM changed its name to the Muttahida Qami Movement (MQM-A) in an effort to differentiate itself from the MQM-H. Both organizations claim to represent the Mohajir community. The mohajirs feel that they are discriminated against socio-economically and politically and that the government favors Pakistan's indigenous ethnic groups such as the Punjabis, the middle class that dominates Pakistan's civil service and military and the Pathans, the Mojahirs' main competition for unskilled labor jobs. <p><br />MQM-H has undertaken armed resistance to communicate its desires for equal access to government jobs and state schools for the Mohajirs, as well as recognition as a separate ethnic group.  Furthermore, the group seeks a separate province within the geographical boundary of Pakistan. Members of the MQM-A have accused Pakistani security forces and intelligence agencies of creating and fostering MQM-H in order to weaken the Mohajir movement, a view supported by several Pakistani analysts.  <p><br />The majority of MQM-H's targets are members and sympathizers of MQM-A. Violence between the two rival factions is one of the main reasons Pakistani security forces have been called upon to restore law and order in Karachi numerous times since 1992. Members of both organizations are often involved in fights over territory within Karachi. Other MQM-H targets include other ethnic militants and government forces. For the most part, MQM-H actions are limited to small, but frequent, armed attacks or arsons. Often these attacks are committed to avenge the death of MQM-H members at the hands of rival factions such as MQM-A. <br />
