KARACHI: Muttahid Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has asked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to support the armed forces in eliminating terrorists, Express News reported on Wednesday.
Altaf had called the Rabta Committee to congratulate the All Pakistan Muttahida Students Organisation (APMSO) on the 36th anniversary of its founding.
While extending his condolences to the families of victims of the Karachi airport attack, Altaf said he is not in favour of peace talks with those responsible for the martyrdom of innocent people and army men. He urged parties in favour of peace talks to reconsider their stance.
Altaf said propaganda against his party had started once again. He protested against what he claims are extra-judicial executions and enforced disappearances of his party workers and claimed he was being falsely accused of involvement in various cases.
Referring to Tahir-ul-Qadri's announcement of returning to Pakistan, the party chief said that if the government creates any hindrances in his protests, MQM workers will stage a protest in Qadri's support.

Imran Khan and PTI supporters after the sad massacre of Karachi episode are probably feel happy as they never condemned the attack or came out on streets other than on reasons of vote rigging; now the PTI and Jamaat-e-islaami are sad because their group TTP has been hit by drone. Shame on them and on their supporters for not uniting for a tough action against Taliban.
This is pure appeasement Altaf Bhai may it be for Qadri or military.you know it and we know it the story behind the curtain. Cognate for getting relief from courts.
Most of Pakistanis agree with Mr. Altaf Hussain,and want the elimination of the perverted individuals murdering Pakistanis daily.Off course IK/PTI and mullahs will make a hue and cry anytime these murderers are killed.Drone this pest out of Pakistan and the civilized world.
Can we please update the picture we use for him? Please use current pictures, as he is just a sad and sickly looking man now.
