Quetta, Nov. 20 (TNS): Hitting hard at fanatic leader Altaf Hussian, Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Chief Mustafa Kamal said on Monday that Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) belonged to its founder and will continue to be his party.

Addressing a PSP workers’ convention in Quetta, Kamal said MQM-Pakistan uses the name of the Muhajir community for its “foul politics,” adding that he stands firm on what he said during the joint press conference with Farooq Sattar.

He lamented that his community’s image and behaviour was manipulated over the past 35 years by “so called leaders of Muhajirs”.

The PSP chief said he is proud of being a Muhajir and of his bonds with the Pashtun, Punjabi, Baloch and Sindhi communities.

“The so-called leaders of Muhajirs are actually selling their community,” he added.

On November 8, the MQM-P and PSP formally announced regrouping with “one name, one symbol and one manifesto”, a year after the two political factions announced complete disassociation from their former leadership based in London.

“We will contest the upcoming elections under one name and symbol,” MQM-P head Farooq Sattar said at the press conference in Karachi, sitting alongside PSP chief Mustafa Kamal.
