Former Karachi mayor and MQM rebel leader, Mustafa Kamal announced that he will hold his first-ever public meeting in the Sindh capital of Karachi in the second week of April.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, Kamal said that it has just been few days in Pakistan, his rally would still be able to prove a huge crowd puller.
“People would witness for themselves the magnitude of this public meeting,” he added.
When asked to respond to Farooq Sattar’s claims of MQM workers loyalties being bought off, Kamal said he would not react to his remarks.
“Farooq Sattar is an innocent man….I don’t want to say anything on this…. I only salute Farooq Sattar with both hands,” he added.
To another question about the visit of representatives of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) at his residence, Mustafa Kamal said the team led by Shahid Hayat paid a brief visit.
“They had tea with us and asked us to extend our cooperation in (Altaf Hussain’s) money-laundering case,” he added.
He said some women relatives of missing MQM workers also approached him. In this regard, he said these workers did not turn into criminals or agents of RAW of their own accord. “They were used and put on the path to destruction,” he added.
The former MQM leader said he requests the ‘Establishment’ and the state that these workers be given one chance to mend their ways and become productive citizens of the country.
“We don’t want these workers to come to us. We want them to go to their parents and family members,” he said.
Earlier today, Anees Qaimkhani, another former leader of MQM who has joined hands with Mustafa Kamal, dismissed the impression of using the party’s mandate, saying an important press conference will be held at 3PM on Monday.
Speaking to media persons here, Qaimkhani reiterated that he and other MQM dissidents have no intention to form a forward bloc, telling others with plans to join them to resign from the assembly first.
He said he wants to thank those who affixed posters in favour of Mustafa Kamal but, added that, he would even pray for those who have taken upon themselves the responsibility of removing them.
“We are not here to engage in the politics of wall-chalking but our aim is to bring the people closer,” he added.
