Twitter explodes as #Kamalgate takes over Karachi

Former Muttahida Qaumi Movement leader and a once beloved ‘son’ of party supremo Altaf Hussain, Mustafa Kamal took the country by surprise not only when he returned to Karachi after two years but when he launched a tirade against Hussain during a presser at his residence in the metropolis.

Kamal broke down in tears as he spoke of what the party has now come to stand for under Hussain's inebriated leadership.

What started as speculation about the former Karachi mayor's return to the country after having quietly departed in 2013 turned into praise following his two-hour tirade against Altaf Hussain as #MustafaKamal trended worldwide.

Some didn't know how to feel about the whole thing, some did 

Some were in awe of the man they once called Mayor

Most were there just for the banter
