MQM dissidents

Published March 24, 2016

THIS refers to Akbar Jan Marwat’s letter ‘MQM dissidents’ (March 22). Mustafa Kamal at one of his earliest press conferences told the viewers that he belonged to a middle-class family and he had to find a job in Dubai, albeit with Bahria Town, to survive along with his family.

After Mr Kamal’s return to Karachi, he is neither working nor is he engaged in any employment to eke out a living. He is devoting his entire time and effort towards politics. He has rented a house in a posh locality of Defence and meeting friends and co-workers and entertaining them.

May I ask Mr Kamal as to how he is now surviving and carrying out political activities which require a huge amount of money? Will he be honest enough to tell us who is sponsoring his activities and who are the real faces behind him?
