The party came into existence due to a split within the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, and was founded as a separate party by Farooq Sattar, who split it from MQM founder and leader Altaf Hussain. The faction was announced after Sattar's release from custody by the Pakistan Rangers a paramilitary organization.[6]

MQM-Pakistan was further divided into the Farooq Sattar (PIB) and Bahadurabad factions.[28]
