MQM’s Karachi Tanzeemi Committee made inactive

KARACHI/LONDON: Karachi Tanzeemi Committee of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has been made inactive and its responsibilities have been handed over to party’s coordination committee, Geo News reported.

Sources said the offices of KTC have been shut across the metropolis.

Expressing his anger over the alleged involvement of his party’s office bearers in unscrupulous activities, Altaf Hussain had announced last Thursday to scrap Karachi Tanzeemi Committee after a week.

“The office bearers take kickbacks of hundreds of thousands of rupees for providing employment,” the indignant MQM Chief said while addressing the party workers in Karachi via telephone from London.

He warned the members of MQM Rabitta Committee and its International Secretariat to mend their ways within one week’s time, saying discipline has been the pride of his party.

He said not just that, they also take money from Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation (KKF) – the welfare wing of MQM.

During the live coverage of the speech, the workers told Altaf Hussain that the office bearers had become addicted to air-conditioned cars and that there are some black sheep in the party.
