The Establishment should accept the MQM mandate with an open heart: Altaf Hussain

MQM Founder and Leader Altaf Hussain has asked the Pakistani Establishment to accept the MQM’s mandate with an open heart. “The Establishment should accept that the MQM is a patriotic political party and end its unwarranted acrimony. MQM is ready to work with you shoulder to shoulder for defending the country.”
He invited JI, PTI and all other political forces to forgo disputes and work together for the country as we were all equal citizens of the country.
He expressed these views while addressing a huge gathering of people in Jinnah Ground Azizabad, who were celebrating the magnificent victory of the MQM in the by-election to NA – 246.
Referring to various newspaper reports about the conduct of by-election Mr Hussain said, “It has been published in most of the newspapers as to how the Rangers personnel interfered in the election process and outstepped their authority. The Rangers were given the power to punish others, but no one can take action against Rangers for their wrongdoing.”
“According to these reports the Rangers harassed the voters and created hurdles due to which a large number of voters could not cast their votes.
