KARACHI, June 2: Chief of Muttahida Qaumi Movement Altaf Hussain has lauded efforts of the Sindh government in eliminating the so-called no-go areas, according to a press release.

He urged the governor and chief minister to take appropriate measures for the rehabilitation of those people who were forced to leave their homes.

He emphasized the need for providing basic facilities, such as water, power, clean water, etc., to these people who, he said, were forced out of their homes at gunpoint.

He renewed his amnesty offer to those who had joined Haqiqi under duress.
