THATTA, Oct 28: Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has warned if the establishment continued its step- motherly towards with the smaller provinces, the possibility could not be ruled out that the geography of Sindh province could change on the future global map.

He was talking to a gathering of intellectuals, writers and people from different walks of life, on phone here at Thatta press club on Sunday.

MQM chief said that he did not feel shy in apologising to Sindhi brothers and added that Sindhis should identify their common enemy.

He said that he was worried about the rapid influx of Afghan refugees who were under a planning being diverted towards the Sindh to convert the old and new Sindhis into minority, so they both now should join their hands in getting rid of the crisis.

He was surprised that the fundamentalists were seen ruling the streets by brandishing their guns in the name of protest against USA but none of them had so far been implicated in any case but JSQM chief Basheer Khan Qureshi had been implicated in number of fictitious cases for raising his voice for the rights of his fatherland.

He said that under a conspiracy pro-Taliban protest procession were being taken out in Sindh and Balochis-tan and asked why the religious forces were not staging such a massive street power against the USA in the provincial headquarter of Punjab at Lahore.

Responding to the participants’ questions he said he was willing to come back to his country but feared to be murdered before landing at Karachi airport.
