Addressing party workers via telephone, Altaf said, “Although I had started my struggle with the APMSO yet I wanted to break the status quo by eliminating the feudal system in order to establish justice and equality from the very beginning.”
He lamented that his efforts were not recognised, instead he was derided for them.
“Some ridiculed me and my manifesto. They jeered at me and said it was not for the poor people to think about coming into politics and getting elected. They would say that my struggle was useless and would always ask me to give up my efforts. But I remained determined and pursued my manifesto relentlessly.”
He took a swipe at the media at how they were continuing to sing praises of Khan and Qadri empowering the poor and the middle class but found it difficult to recognise that the MQM and Altaf were the first in bringing people from these classes into politics.
“People found it out-of-the-ordinary and unique when I started talking about sending qualified and able youths in the elected houses. They would question if the things being suggested by Altaf Hussain could really be workable.”
Altaf added that ever since he started his struggle with APMSO, he wanted to break the status quo by eliminating the feudal system in order to establish justice and equality.
“People found it out-of-the-ordinary and unique when I started talking about sending qualified and able youths in the elected houses. They would question if the things being suggested by Altaf Hussain could really be workable.”
