Rein in terrorism or resign, Altaf Hussain tells govt

KARACHI: Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) leader Altaf Hussain has said that if the president, the prime minister, and the interior minister were unable to deal a blow to the terrorists then they did not deserve to hold their offices, Geo News reported.

“They should resign if they are so helpless against the terror-mongers”, Altaf said in a statement issued here to condemn the killing of a senior party worker in Hyderabad on Saturday night.

He expressed his utter grief over the killing of Jalil-ur-Rahman, a Joint In-Charge of Hyderabad Sector– B and former deputy UC Nazim.

In the statement issued, he termed such acts of violence a grotesque conspiracy to add to the anarchy the metropolis was sliding into for quite sometime now.

“Terrorists are meticulously intriguing to turn Karachi into a lawless land.”

He demanded of the government to go after those who killed the Bohri and Hindu people in cold blood and make them an example for others.
MQM founder also called for protection for the human rights activists like Tahira Abdullah and Marvi Sarmad.
