Mutahidda Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Waseem Akhtar claimed that Amjad Sabri was receiving threatening calls from a certain quarter operating from the Pak Sarzameen Party attending their iftar party on June 25, 2015.
MQM leader, while speaking in the ARY News programme Sawal Ye Hai hosted by Mansoor Ali Khan, said Sabri whispered to him during a recent event at the residence of Arshad Vohra: “I am receiving a call from Sahar [Khayaban-e-Sahar] to attend an iftar party. I am told to please mark your attendance before somebody comes to pick you up.
Akhtar, who is MQM’s mayoral nominee for the city, went on to say that Sabri was an ardent supporter of his party, and recently, he had also refused to attend a function of a political party, he said in an indirect reference to Pak Sarzameen Party led by an ex-Karachi mayor and MQM dissident Mustafa Kamal.
Taking a jibe at Kamal without naming him, he said the guy would have realised he was done with the assignment he was supposed to undertake. “That man will come to know his value was no more than a tissue paper that has been (virtually) disposed of now.”

The MQM leader also questioned the ethnic identification of Sabri’s suspected killer as released by the investigators with the help of a mere sketch.
“Such kind of approach reflects biased approach towards a specific community,” he said.
