MQM Founder and Leader Altaf Hussain has appealed to the constituents of NA-246 to refrain from slogan-mongering when any leader belonging to any political or religious party or a candidate contesting the by-election comes in their area. He asked them to show tolerance and restraint.
He said this while talking to members of the Co-ordination Committee, Central Executive Council, APMSO and other wings of the MQM at MQM headquarters Nine Zero.
“I am aware that excesses have been committed against out workers during the ongoing operation in Karachi. They were arrested and tortured in custody. A media trial was started against the MQM that continues even today.”
“The Supreme Court had said that there are militant wings in all political parties but only MQM headquarters was raided.”
“People have also not forgotten the tragic manner in which the young MQM worker Waqas Shah was martyred.”
“People have lost their sons and they have been subjected to gross injustices. Their hearts are bleeding and there is a feeling of anger.”
Mr Hussain said that he has been issuing statements to keep the political situation calm and peaceful during the by-election to NA-246.
“I had appealed to MQM and PTI leaders to form a joint committee for keeping the political environment conducive so that the miscreants may not be able to undermine the situation
