KARACHI, Aug 30: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief, Altaf Hussain, has persisted on accusing the "hidden hands" for conspiring to damage the party and asked the party followers to be mentally and physically prepared in order to foil any such conspiracy.
Talking on telephone to the leaders of the All Pakistan Mohajir Students Organization, Mr Hussain said that all ideological movements had to face such conspiracies. However, he added, only those movements survived whose followers remained clinched to their ideologies despite repression.
Recalling June 1992 military operation against the party in which thousands of his supporters were allegedly killed, Mr Hussain cited the courageous freedom struggle in British and French colonial territories and emphasised that only those who endured oppression succeeded in winning freedom. He urged the party workers to prepare themselves to deal with the severity of rapidly changing world.
