KARACHI: After MQM chief Altaf Hussain’s statement calling for military intervention in the country’s politics and increase in target killings in Karachi, the drift between PPP and MQM has reportedly increased.
Reports put by federal agencies to the government shows that individuals involved in recent target killings in Karachi are directly or indirectly connected to the MQM.
Main government sources told DawnNews that MQM contacted many times for the release of its arrested persons and the government declined to do so upon the advice of agencies.
MQM leader Dr Farooq Sattar told DawnNews that there has been no contact between MQM and government in the past 48 hours. However, he said that the PML-N reaction is harsh upon Altaf Hussain’s statement.
High level persons of PPP took serious notice of Altaf Hussain’s statement but ministers were also advised not to react to the MQM chief’s remarks. -DawnNews
