Salam,
I think if one is an MQM supporter then can say oh IK supported TUQ's long march and then retreated and it was probably a ploy to bargain better deal from Government etc. on local bodies system.
On the other hand, if you are not a supporter then you will assume all the assumptions of "maybe" and link it with something.
I guess, it is called politics. When after 5 years every single politician is claiming that they are proven right. Chief Justice is busy doing justice where no one seems to get justice. Imran Khan is repeating the old mantra of muck mucka, Altaf Hussein doing his trickery, Zardari sitting happily, Nawaz Sharif eyeing on the Presidentail palace. While army is busy trying to figure out what is going to happen on the western frontier until then the figure it out the theater goes on with various climaxes in between.
