KARACHI: Altaf lashes out at jihadi groups



By Our Reporter


KARACHI, Oct 12: Founder chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Altaf Hussain has slammed religious and jihadi outfits for abandoning Kashmiri people whom, he claimed, they had allegedly been using as ‘fodder’ in their so-called jihad and “had pocketed billions collected in the name of jihad.”

He said this while telephonically talking to a team of MQM doctors who had set up a small field hospital of the Khidmat-i-Khalq Foundation in Muzaffarabad, the devastated capital of Azad Kashmir.

He claimed that while bodies of quake victims were lying unattended and those injured in the calamity were crying for help, those parties which had raised the bogey of jihad and collected huge money were not seen on the spot. He said that the MQM which was accused of being against the Kashmir cause was attending to the victims of the quake.

Mr Hussain commended efforts by paramedics and doctors who were working in these most difficult circumstances.
