Karachi – Our Establishment Correspondent: Speaking at a press conference of Mustafa Kamal’s, a man in uniform standing behind the former MQM leader said that the establishment was not behind him.
“Yes, there is no truth to these allegations whatsoever,” said the former Karachi Nazim, in approval. “I am here only because of myself.”
“All the allegations of the deep state being behind the emergence of this new party, the way it had been behind the Haqiqi faction of Afaq Ahmed and Amir Khan, are complete rubbish,” said Anees Qaimkhani, who had just arrived in an olive-green jeep to the venue of the presser.
As soon as the press conference was over, a dozen men with crew cuts who were wearing shalwar-kameez and waistcoats served lunch on tables that had the initials MES written on them.
“We hope you enjoy your lunch,” said the uniformed man, addressing the reporters. “You’ve paid for it.”
