PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat has asked MQM chief Altaf Hussain to play his role for restoring peace to Karachi, the country’s bleeding financial capital.
In a telephonic conversation on Friday, Shujaat said since the MQM enjoyed major political influence in Karachi, the party should endeavour to advise the masses to stay peaceful. The MQM chief said his heart and soul bled over the situation in Karachi, pointing out that innocent and unarmed activists and citizens were being targeted. He put all the responsibility of the violence on the federal and provincial governments.
Altaf also cautioned the government against trying unsuccessfully to pressurising the MQM, saying it was the government’s “biggest mistake, ever”.
