Altaf Hussain’s press conference

Letter September 10, 2011
Such serious allegations need to be backed up by proper substantiation.

LONDON: One thing seems to be clear after watching MQM chief Altaf Hussain’s press conference of September 9: foreign forces are working to dismember Pakistan. In fact, prior to Mr Hussain saying this, Zulfiqar Mirza had said that same thing. Given the nature of these charges, both men should share details of their allegations with the people of Pakistan. Such serious allegations need to be backed up by proper substantiation. It is the responsibility of those in authority making such charges to tell the people who or what is backing these foreign forces and what the government is doing to counter such threats.
