KARACHI:
The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) claimed on Monday that Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar’s statement against Altaf Hussain was an attempt to create conflicts between the party and the Army.
Addressing a press conference, MQM leaders asked where the interior minister was when former president Asif Ali Zardari had used harsh words against the army during a recent speech.
They announced that the party would stage a protest against Nisar outside the Karachi Press Club on Tuesday.
MQM’s parliamentary leader Dr Farooq Sattar said that attempts to separate Muahjirs and Altaf would never succeed.
Taking a jibe at the interior minister, Sattar said Nisar was suffering from Altaf-phobia.
