Altaf tells party workers he might be ‘jailed over fake cases’

LONDON: 

Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain advised leaders of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) to bring their own house in order instead of hurling threats at him, reportedly.

“Instead of threatening me, rulers should look into their own affairs,” MQM’s website quoted Altaf as saying during his telephonic address to party workers in Hyderabad.

“False and baseless allegations are being levelled against me,” the MQM chief lamented.

Claiming his speeches may be banned, the MQM chief added, “I may be sent to jail as fake cases are being levelled against me.”

Clarifying his earlier statements, Altaf stated that he had never spoken against the country, but only against oppression.

“I am not afraid of death. I owe my life to Allah and party’s movement,” he added.

“I may get killed through mafias but you must keep the movement alive in case I am targeted,” the MQM chief said, urging his workers to be patient and to never take the law in their own hands.
