Altaf tells party workers to turn the other cheekLAHORE: Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has appealed to supporters of his party to exercise tolerance in the face of “inflammatory statements” made to the media by “a politician”, an apparent reference to Imran Khan, who has accused Mr Hussain of “terrorism” and blamed him for the violence in Karachi on May 12.
Geo television reported that Mr Hussain asked his supporters to be patient, refrain from demonstrations and clean up city walls of graffiti insulting Mr Khan. He asked workers and elected representatives of the MQM to be “decent and civilised” when responding to accusations against the party. “I fully understand your sentiments and anger but appeal to you to keep your sentiments under control,” he said. He directed the workers to exercise tolerance and show to the world that they are peaceful people. daily times monitor
