Saleha, a two-year-old girl hailing from a poverty-stricken family who was brought to Karachi from her hometown Quetta as she could not afford a heart surgery, returned home on Tuesday after a successful and complete treatment, the expenses of which were borne by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
Sindh Industries and Commerce Minister Rauf Siddiqui of the MQM brought the girl to the city and admitted her to a reputed private hospital, where her surgery was successfully carried out. Saleha had two holes in her heart and need an immediate surgery for survival. Saleha left for Quetta amid the presence of a large number of her well-wishers, MQM activists and civil society members. Saleha’s brother Abdul Kareem said his family was not in a position to bear the expenses for his sister’s treatment. However, MQM chief Altaf Hussain took notice of their problem and instructed his party to support his family.
On humanitarian grounds, Siddiqui ordered special arrangements of Saleha medical treatment. “I am very thankful to MQM chief Altaf Hussain, Rauf Siddiqui and the workers of the MQM for their cooperation,” Kareem said. “I had time and again requested ministers and senior officials of the Balochistan government to help us, but no one had come forward to support us,” he added.

  1. Yes, Thanks to Allah. These are all gimmicks from the MQM to win hearts and minds.
    The author of the article is unduly carried away by the 'generosity' of MQM. The heart of this child will tick but many hearts have been broken by the very MQM who has ruthlessly eliminated thousands of innocent people. Franky, the MQM, to me, is an ethnic and terrorist outfit under the veneer of a political party and soon you will see this party springing in action because at present it is under a fix what to day and can not judge which way the present set up was going.
