KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has said that conspiracies were hatched against his mission from the day he launched his movement.

In a statement addressed to workers and supporters, he said false allegations had been levelled against him and attempts were made to malign him and his party.

“I want to inform the nation that I never bowed to the forces of evil. I suffered imprisonment and defied death but continued my mission. I want to tell my sympathisers that a new web of conspiracy is being woven around me and various false allegations are being levelled.

“Not only a negative propaganda has been launched against me, but false allegations are also being levelled to implicate me in various cases. I want to inform the public that I will never bow to any international forces,” he said.

He asked MQM leaders and workers to continue their struggle and not allow the conspiracies to succeed. “You must be ready for sacrifices.”—Agencies
