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
[edit]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
[edit]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]
