KARACHI, Oct 30: Chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Altaf Hussain on Sunday made an impassionate appeal to well-to-do people to come forward and contribute generously towards the cash relief for quake victims.
In his telephonic address from London to a big gathering organized by the Khidmat-i-Khalq Foundation, welfare wing of the MQM, in Jinnah Ground here on Sunday, Mr Hussain said the holy month of Ramazan signified importance of offering sacrifice. “While a huge number of our people are facing a catastrophe in this holy month, we should help them by curtailing our expenses and extending maximum possible aid to our brethren in need,” the MQM chief said.
The Khidmat-i-Khalq Foundation, on the occasion, distributed goods worth Rs30 million among deserving people.
DELHI BLASTS: Mr Altaf Hussain has strongly condemned the series of bomb blasts in Delhi on Saturday and termed it ‘a naked and callous act of terrorism’ which, he said, deserved severest condemnation, according to a press release issued by the MQM international secretariat.
The MQM chief hoped that perpetrators of this act would be apprehended and handed exemplary punishment.
He observed that the world had now forged unity in defeating global terrorism, and said that unless this menace was eliminated from the earth, innocent people would continue to remain at risk. Mr Hussain said that he was profoundly saddened over the attack and shared the grief of Indian people.
