Farooq Sattar discharged from hospital

MQM leader urges media to ignore conspiracy theories

Top Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan leader Dr Farooq Sattar was discharged from hospital after recovering from a highway crash he suffered late on Sunday night.

Dr Sattar had miraculously survived the mishap as his car skidded off the Super Highway and overturned near Nooriabad in Jamshoro district, some 60 kilometres off Hyderabad.

“It is no short of a miracle to be saved from an accident wherein my car took several turns but I suffered no major injuries,” Sattar said while talking to media after being discharged on Wednesday.



“I will, however, urge the media to not look for conspiracy theories into this incident and only consider it as a mishap,” the MQM leader added.

Sattar elaborated that he had suffered a fracture in his leg and was recovering from it, while all of his tests had been satisfactory and that doctors had allowed him to go home.

The MQM leader also said that he was notified about calls from several local leaders as well as people from around the world but he was not in a position to respond to them.

“Several political leaders visited me at the hospital to inquire after my health for which I am absolutely grateful,” Sattar maintained.



Sattar and other MQM leaders, including Khawaja Izharul Hassan and Amir Khan were returning from Hyderabad after having some party meetings within their ranks when this incident occurred.

Four of the MQM leader's companions had suffered injuries in the incident. All three leaders of the party were travelling in separate vehicles at the time of the incident.
