Aamir Khan names MQM-London leaders, ‘Chamchagir Brigade’

KARACHI: Speaking at MQM-Pakistan's Youm-e-Tasees, senior leader Amir Khan expressed his disapproval for the MQM-London leadership.

Khan named London-based party leaders Wasy Jalil, Babar Ghauri, Imbisat Mallick, Mustufa Azizabadi, and Muhammad Anwar as, ‘chamchagir brigade.’

He claimed that former minister of ports and shipping Babar Ghauri owns as many as 31 petrol pumps in the city.

“Babar Ghauri, who owns properties worth millions of dollars in America, owns 31 petrol stations here in Karachi. Did he inherit this fortune from his father?” he said. “He has run away from Pakistan after looting vast fortunes, and he should give this money back to party workers.”

Without naming the MQM-Pakistan founder, Khan thundered: “It’s you, not us who is the traitor. You have always left the workers on their own in difficult times.”

“Disgusting language is being used against Pakistan by Wasay Jalil,” alleged Khan. “If you (Jalil) have any courage, come here to Pakistan and then chant these slogans. We will see how brave you are then.”

Khan jibed at his former leader through a comment on the late Benazir Bhutto's bravery, who he said arrived in Pakistan to be with her voters despite being aware of the impending threats.

Khan concluded his speech by saying: “There comes a time when one has to decide between the country and individual personalities.”
