Altaf Hussain unwell, bed rest advised by doctors: Report

The MQM chief has been advised to pause all political activity for a few days.

LONDON: Founder of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Altaf Hussain has been advised to pause all political activity for a few days and take bed rest by doctors in London, reported Express News on Tuesday.

According to the report, Altaf Hussain is not well and bed rest has been prescribed.

Earlier, enraged by what he called “false accusations” of rigging, Altaf had warned the establishment to respect the mandate of Karachi in a telephonic address to his party on May 12.

He reminded his supporters that despite deaths, bombings and threats the highest number of MQM voters had risked their lives to vote. He alleged that the media was showing anti-MQM demonstrators but did not speak of the thousands of MQM voters who turned up to support the party on polling day.
