Nobody can snatch away ‘our Karachi’ by bullying us: Siddiqui

KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui in early hours of Wednesday said that no one can stop his party from coming out victorious in the upcoming Azizabad by-poll.

Speaking to media representatives after launching an FIR against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership for the Jinnah ground fiasco, he said, “Nobody can conquer Karachi by threatening and bullying us.”

“Karachi is our city and we have always sacrificed for it,” he added.

Siddiqui said the NA-246 seat did not get vacant by any incident but “with our consent”. “Nabil Gabol is still a part of the MQM… there might be some differences but love for Altaf Hussain is still there.”

The MQM leader lamented that the FIR was not registered according to their will.

He reiterated that the PTI activists tore down Altaf Hussain’s posters and desecrated yadgar-e-shuhda (martyrs memorial).
