KARACHI:
MQM Chief on Saturday called for the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, over his comments on the frequent shut-downs observed in Karachi.
Altaf had made the demand while speaking to his workers at Nine-Zero on Saturday, claiming that he was enraged the PM had stated ‘Karachi shuts down even if a fly dies’.
Terming his friendship a mistake, Altaf demanded the resignation of Nawaz Sharif and that he should get a medical checkup for comparing the killings of citizens in Karachi to flies.
The premier was referring to the frequent calls for mourning announced by the MQM to protest against the alleged extrajudicial killings of its workers.
Also lashing out at the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), the MQM chief said that while his party was being blamed for the Safoora massacre, the police arrested the workers of the JI who were responsible for the carnage.
“The intelligence agencies don’t see the people of JI who are involved in criminal activities,” he stated.
