LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif slammed a recent statement by Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain on Sunday, saying that the MQM leader’s “diatribe against Pakistan and the Army” proves he is working for the enemy.
“The entire Pakistani nation awaits the exemplary end of this self-proclaimed leader who calls out to India for help,” he said. The Punjab chief minister added that the MQM chief’s recent statement proves that Rangers have taken the right measures in Karachi in the ongoing operation against terrorists and criminal elements in the port city.
The CM responded intensely on the telephonic address of Altaf Hussain and said that his
call out to India has proved that he is “working for the enemies of Pakistan”. The nation will never forgive Altaf Hussain as he through his remarks hurt the sentiments of 20 crore population of Pakistan, he added.
Earlier on July 30 the MQM in a letter sent to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, had
claimed excesses committed by the para-military Rangers in their ongoing security operation
in Karachi.
