LONDON: The chief of Muttahida Qaumi Movement Altaf Hussain has said that we welcome Imran Khan in Karachi, adding that he will be the MQM’s guest here, when he joined politics, we had welcomed him at that time as well.
Altaf Hussain said that the allegations leveled against him by Imran Khan were baseless, saying that we were against the division of Sindh but wanted new provinces. While addressing to a large public meeting on the occasion of his 61th birthday, MQM chief said that it was wrong to say that PTI and PAT firstly talked of revolution. He emphasized saying that MQM presented this term of revolution first of all and only MQM introduced revolution in the country.
Altaf Hussain further said that MQM would not withdraw from its legal demands, adding that the allegations PTI leveled against me were baseless.
