KARACHI, Aug 15: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief, Altaf Hussain, has asked his party members to struggle for their rights along with the people of Sindh. He added that the country that had been created for the Muslims of the subcontinent no longer welcomed the Muslims from India.

Speaking to party elders by phone, Hussain said that the reason why Muslims were being killed in India was that Pakistan had not allowed them to come to Pakistan after 1951. “I ask those who shed crocodile tears at the carnage of Muslims in Gujarat, why they do not let Muslims come to Pakistan?”

The MQM chief deplored the fact that all those people who had migrated from India, leaving behind their assets and property, were being considered traitors and a security-risk.
