MQM's "Rental Rally" in Punjab

Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) held a "Rental Rally" in Lahore on Sunday, as most of the participants were brought from Karachi. MQM spent so lavishly that they booked almost all the rooms in (certainly) all the five star hotel in Lahore, the identification of people boarded in these rooms proved that they were all from Karachi (Certainly, there isn't any place in the world where locals live in hotels). It proved to be the most expensive rally in the country’s political history, where millions of rupees were spent but the desired results could not be achieved. And even though the distance between the stage and the seating was about half of the football stadium, but still (despite of having this ahead start) MQM wasn't able to fill the remaining part of the stadium as only 5000 to 7000 people attended the gathering. Moreover, MQM also offered free travelling & lunch to the participants.

Many critics were of the opinion that MQM rally in Lahore was a flop show.
