Bilawal asks Altaf to call off day of mourning

KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) patron-in-chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has appealed to Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain to call off day of mourning

In a message issued on microblogging site, Bilawal asked Altaf Hussain to tell his party workers that threatening of people of Karachi traders and transporters live on television is not philosophy of the MQM’s chief.

He expressed sympathy for the MQM’s legitimate concerns.

“Lots of sympathy for MQM’s legitimate concerns. But they will loss all good will if they take Karachi hostage again with strike politics.”

Bilawal said that he had warned about anti-Altaf forces within MQM, adding that he feared the strike would be part of a larger conspiracy against the party chief.
