Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Sunday said Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain’s statements reflect he is working for the enemies of Pakistan, Express News reported.

“Altaf’s anti-state and anti-army speeches prove he is working against the country and its security forces,” Shahbaz said in a statement.

“His [Altaf's] statements have badly exposed his evil face to the people,” the chief minister’s statement added.







The chief minister lauded the role of Rangers, saying the MQM chief’s statements prove the Karachi operation is heading in the right direction and the Rangers are performing their responsibilities effectively.


“Altaf Hussain has hurt the feelings of two hundred million Pakistanis,” Shahbaz said. “People of Pakistan will never forgive him.”
