Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) leader Altaf Hussain said that it was immaterial to him whether people unite under the flag of the MQM or the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI). Speaking on telephone at the main camp of the Khidmat-i-Khalq Foundation (KKF) on the third day of the Eidul Adha, Hussain said that he had been asking the people to raise a genuine leadership from the middle class having strong moral fiber and charged with the feeling to serve the nation. He said that he wanted the educated people to come forward and he had congratulated the PTI on their successful meeting at the Minar-i-Pakistan. The flag did not matter, the ultimate objective of the struggle was a revolution, he added. Hussain said that he did not envy any other party.
He urged the youth to break the status quo and bring a peaceful revolution under the banner of the MQM. Hussain hoped that the young people will come forward and use their abilities to spread the philosophy of “Realism and Practicalism” in the length and breadth of the country. “We want justice, peace, democracy, sectarian harmony as well as inter-faith harmony among the followers of all the religions in the country,” he added.
