MQM Sidelines Altaf Hussain 23rd Aug 2016
KARACHI: In what appears to be an attempt to sideline Altaf Hussain, veteran MQM leader Dr Farooq Sattar said that Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan would now be run and controlled from Karachi.


Addressing a press conference at the press club, Dr Farooq Sattar lamented that he was not allowed to present his stance before media last night and taken into custody.

“It is unfortunate that we were not allowed to present our point of view. The whole Pakistan witnessed what happened yesterday,” he said.

“I pleaded the paramilitary Rangers force to give us the opportunity to speak our heart. Some may feel that we may have been influenced by the eight-hour detention or any fear or pressure,” he said.

"Whatever happened today shouldn't have happened?

"When we were sitting here yesterday, we had no idea what was coming next.

"Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) wants to do politics in Pakistan. I assure all of you that every MQM worker strongly denounces the speeches made yesterday. It is our stated policy from day one.

"MQM dissociates itself from yesterday's speeches, strongly condemn it and regret the hurt it caused to the people of Pakistan.
