KARACHI, July 16: Chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Altaf Hussain has demanded equal rights for people in the country without any discrimination of religion, sect or culture. According to a party press release on Saturday, this he said during his telephonic address to flood relief programmes in seven cities of Sindh.

Mr Hussain said that the MQM believed in serving the people. “For MQM, politics does not mean getting plot and permit,” he added.
