Kamal questions Altaf’s ‘mental ailment’

PSP leader says how come a disease makes a person an ‘anti-Pakistani’ and a RAW agent

Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) leader Mustafa Kamal has questioned the touted ‘ailment’ of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) supremo Altaf Hussain which made him raising anti-Pakistan slogans.

“What disease is this that Altaf Hussain keeps saying things against Pakistan and contacts India's premier spy agency RAW?” the former Karachi mayor asked during a press conference at his party’s office in Karachi on Tuesday followed by MQM's senior leader Farooq Sattar's media talks.

The leader of the newly formed party also said that the chaos which ensued Altaf’s speech on Monday was inevitable, that hinting that the speech was made under the influence of alcohol. “Altaf Hussain said all those things during the ‘happy hour’ and later on realised that the party is over.”

Kamal claimed that the MQM is finally collapsing and people of Sindh should see themselves whose side they are on. “MQM is about to fall now and whoever tries to save it will be buried under the rubble.”

Addressing the Sindh government he said that no one should consider people of Karachi who gave votes to the MQM as heirless.

Imran denounces Altaf's speech

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan denounced the MQM supremo's Monday speech. "The language that Altaf Hussain used is something that even [India's PM] Narender Modi hasn't used for Pakistan."

The PTI chief said it was the MQM founding leader who introduced 'terrorism' in the city and even got PTI leader Zehra Shahid killed.

"Altaf Hussain says Pakistan is hub of terrorism. Let me remind him it was him who introduced terrorism in Karachi," he added.

Further, Imran said that he couldn't say anything on the recent development in the MQM after Farooq Sattar disassociated himself from the chief's statement but wanted him to cut the ties with MQM's militant wing.

"I don't know to what extent Farooq Sattar has dissociated the party from Altaf. But he also needs to dismantle militant wing," Imran said.
