KARACHI: Altaf changes APMSO’s name

KARACHI, April 24: The All Pakistan Mohajir Students Organisation has been renamed as the All Pakistan Muttahida Students Organisation in a major structural change announced by the founder of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement while speaking at a general workers meeting here on Monday.

Mr Hussain, who was also linked up with his supporters in Hyderabad and other parts of the province, asked the students to remain calm and unprovoked.

He advised the youngsters to adopt humility, tolerance, commitment and dedication in order to help promote tradition and culture in the society. While the meeting at Azizabad’s Lal Qila Ground in Karachi was attended by hundreds of students from varsities and colleges, the meeting at Hyderabad was also attended by youngsters from Mirpurkhas and Nawabshah as well.
