MQM leader promoting foreign agenda by spreading hatred: Punjab Forum

Lahore: The Punjab Forum on Monday said leader of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Altaf Hussain has been working on agenda of foreign powers to weaken country by promoting hatred.

Altaf, directly involved in hundreds of heinous criminal cases would spare no opportunity to treat people unfairly on linguistic basis, it said.

Those fulfilling agenda of enemies of Pakistan stands exposed and now they cannot misguide masses anymore, said Baig Raj, President of the Punjab Forum.

Speaking at a meeting, he said that MQM would have known its popularity if voters in Karachi were provided security during the recent elections.

By dubbing PML-N a Punjabi party, Altaf has insulted voters who supported Nawaz across the stretch of country, he said.

Actually, MQM is uneasy over crushing defeat of PPP and it has started blackmailing before the PML-N can form government in the centre.

Baig Raj said that Karachi is not owned by the followers of Altaf, in fact the city belongs to all the people of Pakistan including Sindhis, Balochis, Punjabis, Pashtoons etc who outnumber Urdu speaking population.

There are a lot of people in Karachi who will never allow the designs of enemies to succeed, he said, adding that a small band led by criminals cannot cloud the opinion of masses by dubbing Nawaz representative of Punjab only.

Baig Raj said that cutting Karachi from Pakistan is a dream of terrorists which will never come true. He advised MQM to get rid of Altaf Hussain if wants to be accepted and come in the mainstream politics.
