  3. you missed four imp phases when MQM was in PPP coalition and non PPP non Mahajir used to say
    "Sab milay huey hain. Sazish hai, Topi Drama. He is RAW agent"
    and when MQM was in PMLN IJI coalition and non PMLN/IJI non Mahajir use to say
    "Sab milay huey hain. Sazish hai, Topi Drama. He is RAW agent"

    Ironically this phase comes twice for PMLN PPP followers :)
