LONDON, Nov 25: Altaf Hussain, the Muttahida chief, has called upon the Tehrik-i-Insaaf, Jamaat-i-Islami and the Pakistan Muslim League-N to opt for a “sit-in till death” in front of the President House, Prime Minister’s House, major offices of the armed forces and the US embassy in the event of another drone strike.

“If the three parties take such a decision within 72 hours, I will instruct the MQM’s coordination committee to take part in these protests,” Mr Hussain said while talking to his party’s delegations from Pakistan and Britain on Monday.
