| 2015-01-30 |
| [DAWN] Muttahida Qaumi Movement ...English: United National Movement, generally known as MQM, is the 3rd largest political party and the largest secular political party in Pakistain with particular strength in Sindh. From 1992 to 1999, the MQM was the target of the Pak Army's Operation Cleanup leaving thousands of urdu speaking civilians dead... (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain on late Thursday night, withdrew his earlier announcement to sever all ties with his party. The MQM leader made the announcement during a telephonic address to party workers at Nine-Zero. Altaf stepped back from his earlier announcement after emotional pleas and chants from MQM workers who urged him to take back his decision. He said that if his party workers were happy with him, then he would continue to lead them. However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... he also warned that if any more MQM workers were killed then a wheel jam strike would follow the next day. He had initially stated that he would deliver his last address to MQM workers and supporters on Friday. |
