The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) on Saturday responded to a video statement issued by Altaf Hussain in which Hussain sought the Indian prime minister's 'help', saying those who love Pakistan had no right to ask Narendra Modi for assistance.
According to a statement issued by MQM-P, "it is a well-known fact that Narendra Modi is not only known as the 'butcher of Gujrat', but is also notorious for his anti-Muslim policies which are open for all to see".
MQM-P's response also clarified that no person had the right to claim to represent millions of mohajirs and then seek help from an Indian prime minister.
MQM Pakistan also stated that the whole fiasco was concocted as a conspiracy to cast doubt over mohajirs' love and dedication to Pakistan.
The party also asserted that it not only condemns anti-Pakistan statements, but will also strive to make such conspiracies unsuccessful.

It has been proven in medical science that people say things that they do not mean under severe anxiety and depression. We should avoid distributing certificates of loyalty. One needs to look at the root cause of the situation. You cannot deprive masses of their rights. We need to learn from our mistakes. We cannot afford another blunder. The solution to all these issues are giving people their due rights, Stop discrimination, create more administrative units or Provinces, Recognize them as loyal citizens of Pakistan which they are. Do what is right and required and soon everyone will be following this one goal and that goal is "Sab Se Pehle Pakistan".

Those who have committed crimes and treachery against the country should be punished and AH has done no harm to Pakistan ! He is just upset and his concerns need to be addressed !

What is reported, if true is a very sad and unfortunate to say the least. Sadely, ever since the sons of soil have taken control of the country, Pakistan is going on a very sharp slope to deep hole. Look at the histroty, since ZAB raised slogan circa 1970 "You there we here", Pakistan was dismembered, ZAB took control of the west wing of the country, the corruption increased exponentially. Urdu speaking people rights were curbed by all in power, their sufferings have been increasing by the day. Today, the most educated and civilised class of the country are the most suppressed people. Altaf did represented the people of Karachi. Instead of looking into the greivences of its population the elites opted to suppress them by voila nice & blames. Pakistan prosperity and bright future lies in being fairness for all.

After partition, population of West Pakistan was 30 million and 1951 Census of Pakistan had identified the number of displaced persons in Pakistan at 7,226,600. Out of that, about 320,000 (4.4%) came to Karachi, mostly from Bombay, Gujarat, Mysore Bangalore and Hyderabad. Now, what is the reason for calling 4.4 % of refugees who came to Karachi as Muhajirs and rejecting the overwhelming majority of 95.6% as non-Muhajirs. It has been stated in the 1951 census that, 1.26 million Muslims had left western India but did not reach Pakistan meaning killed in the riots. Most of them were the families of refugees who migrated to Punjab and MQM is claiming their sacrifices without giving them any representation in the so called Mohajirs.
