Celebrate but don’t disrespect rivals, Altaf tells workers

LONDON: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) supremo Altaf Hussain on Thursday urged his party workers to respect political rivals while celebrating victory in NA-246- by-polls.

In a statement issued here, the MQM chief appealed to the people not to destroy flags or posters of political opponents.

Another leader of MQM, Khwaja Izhar ul Hasan while speaking in Geo News program 'Aaj Shahzaib Khan Kay Saath', said it was inappropriate to hold his party responsible for every untoward incident.

"Extremist elements could not be the workers of MQM", Izhar said while commenting on the attack on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) election camp in Karimabad area.
