MQM - A Revival

Share
Okay, so we hear Altaf Hussain, founder of Muttahida Qaumi Movement  (aka MQM), announce Operation Cleanup against the black sheep present in his political party.

Altaf Hussain, residing presently in London, leads MQM, a Pakistani political party, its roots being the strongest in Karachi.

After the 11th May National Elections in Pakistan, MQM was blamed for rigging and cheating by Imran Khan's  Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf's leader, Arif Alvi, in NA-250. Protests were held in this regard too by the PTI supporters in Karachi. Both MQM and PTI leaders held press conferences claiming the other side to be guilty. After that, Altaf Hussain used harsh words against PTI in a live telephonic conference from London.

After much havoc created by both sides, MQM founder Altaf Hussain warned all members of the party against serious actions to be taken against anyone found involved in illegal activities. He then dissolved the Raabta Committee, saying that it's now time to clean MQM of all corrupt entities.

Yesterday, he has announced a new Raabta Committee, in which Haider Abbas Rizvi, Aamir Khan, Nasreen Jaleel, Dr. Sagheer Ahmad,
Kanwar Naveed, Waasay Jaleel, Mustafa Azizabadi, Yousuf Shahwani and some others are included. Saleem Shehzad, Raza Haroon and Asif Siddiqui, who were the members of the old Raabta Committee, are not included this time. Further, Anees Ahmad Advocate is restricted to get involved in any political activities due to serious indiscipline from his side. Memberships of some MQM'ers have also been cancelled.

Furthermore, Altaf Hussain has dissuaded all his followers to take care of their personal reputation as well as of their political party, alarming them that serious steps will be taken whenever needed against such members.

Hope that this recent revival does improve the image of MQM, who's a major stakeholder in the political grounds of Karachi.
