Hazara Quami Mahaz Pakistan (HQM) is a political organization established by the Muhammad Asif Malik in 1987[1][2][3] The main motive of "HQM" is to advocate for the creation of a separate Hazara province, addressing the socio-economic and political rights of the Hazarewal people[4][5] Malik was the first to coin the term "Hazarewal", uniting the regional residents regardless of ethnicity, caste, or creed.[6]

Continued Efforts and Leadership Changes

Following Malik's death in 2008, his son, Ali Asif Malik, continued the mission, collaborating with other regional leaders to further the cause of Hazara province. In 2009,[7] HQM appointed Abbottabad District Nazim-Ala Sardar Haider Zaman as patron-general, further solidifying the party's influence.[8][9][10]

Incident

On April 12, 2010, violent clashes in Abbottabad resulted in the deaths of seven people and injuries to over 200 others.[11][12] The unrest began as protests against renaming the North-West Frontier Province to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Demonstrators blocked roads, set vehicles and a police station on fire, and confronted police who responded with tear gas and gunfire.[13] The district administration had imposed Section 144 to ban public gatherings, but the violence escalated, leading to significant chaos and disruptions, including the closure of the Karakoram Highway.[14] The incident raised concerns about the use of force by police and potential hidden influences behind the violence.[15]
