MQM emerged victorious despite allegations: Altaf

KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain congratulated party workers over the win in the recent by-election in NA-246 constituency as well as the local bodies’ polls in cantonment board, saying MQM emerged triumphant in spite of a stream of allegations against it.

Addressing party workers at Jinnah Ground, Altaf Hussain told the MQM's Rabitta Committee: “We don’t need workers for a show off; we need workers who can perform.”

He warned that any worker or office-bearer whose performance failed to meet the criteria will have to resign.

The MQM Chief directed to kick start on immediate basis the process of membership across the country and asked party’s MPAs to get vociferous in assemblies for resolving public issues.

He demanded of the authorities to nab the murderers of Sabeen Mahmud, the director of The Second Floor (T2F), who was killed by unknown gunmen on Friday. “The secret hand involved in her assassination should be unmasked,” he added.
