Altaf Hussain urges workers to prepare themselves. PHOTO: MQM
In a statement released by the MQM early on Sunday morning, Altaf hoped that once he launches his drone attack in the next 72 hours, no one in Pakistan can launch a counter political drone attack.
The MQM chief urged his party workers to prepare themselves for the strike and for its after effects.
The release though did not elaborate on the nature of the attack, nor the intended target of the strike.
The MQM has been caught in between storms.
The party has pledged to support and travel to Islamabad as part of Minhajul Quran International chief Dr Tahirul Qadri's long march on Islamabad.
On the other hand, the Supreme Court issued a contempt of court notice to MQM chief Altaf Hussain, directing him to appear in person before the court on January 7, 2013. The MQM has filed a petition in the apex court seeking immunity for their leader.

If ge is comming back do he have a valid visa or if he is leaving the coalition just 2 months before election when Karachi has already been made vally of death.
Just another political term invented by Altaf Bhai. "Political drone attack", eh. Is someone thinking about saying "political loadsheding", could make a lot of sense when talking about Tahirul Qadri's "want state not politics".
We are with you. This feudal-corrupt system - disguised as democracy - needs to go.
Does Altaf Bhai intends to drop off a plan from the sky? like US drones Daisy Cutter does? Next 72 hours will be sleepless in Pakistan for Dr Qadri for sure,
This was sure to happen to retain its vote bank, other wise how come MQM get Karachiites votes again after pathetic law and order situation of the city since 2008.
its another drama!!!!
There is as throng possibility that Mr. Altaf Hussain may come to Islamabad to appear before the Supreme Court of Pakistan tomorrow.
Altaf Hussain is a charismatic man having public appeal. Let us hope that all is well that ends well. Salams
'Drone Strike' ... 'Tsunami'... our politicians give us 'hope' in the name of destruction...
Altaf bhai we have been.waiting for your drone as we know unlike US drone.they dont destroy they will reinvigorate all of Pakistan.
Love from all Mohajirs.
It will be a pleasant drone strike if he steps down from his throne for the greater good
What a nonsense.
Oh I get it. 'Drone' attack because he's gonna be controlling it from thousands of miles away.
Is MQM leaving coalition for good?
Either He is coming back or MQM will get separated from govt after resigning from Assemblies. Just a political stunt to get elected again in Karachi nothing else they want.
What a frightening term "Drone", which only brings destruction, but no peace but remember drone is normally launched by third party through remote control. Question is who is handling this remote control of drone.
Using terminology like 'Drone Attack ' from MQM nd tsunami from PTI show how mature our politicians are? Who knows what's the agenda ??
Please let's pray for peace and safety in Karachi after this done strike.
He's going to return to Pakistan.
God have mercy!
Pakistani political landscape - better than best political thriller movies ever!
I liked him when he said that he shall take on the talibans and even overlooked many of his other flaws. I was so disappointed when he backed out. He does not talk about it any longer. I feel that he has realized now that he cannot get to power in Pakistan by being outside the country and is trying to come back. He may be thinking that Chaos and confusion would create and ideal situation for his coming back to Pakistan. There is a general realization in Pakistan that if the coming elections are not held in time, there may not be another election ever or for a long, long time. So, if one is not able to grab power this time, he has lost the opportunity for ever.
Political drone attack - Does it mean that Mr Altaf Hussain is coming to Pakistan to personally appear in the Supreme Court hearing on 7th January or does it mean that MQM is going to quit coalition government.
If MQM is going to quit the government, this means fall of PPP government.
He's either coming back to Pakistan or resigning MQM from the coalition. A total waste of time if it was something else.
Oh NO.....
HAHAHAHA <3
I am sure he is coming to Pakistan. No bigger deone artack
