Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain has said Karachi operation is in progress exclusively against his party. Addressing an Iftar party under the auspices of 'Lovers of Pakistan' in London, Altaf said over 50 MQM activists have disappeared and yet dozens others have been assassinated extra-judicially. Despite the fact that Supreme Court of Pakistan mentioned in its landmark ruling about militant wings hailing from several parties but Karachi operation is being directed against MQM alone, he pointed out.
Altaf also highlighted that Mohajirs have not been acceded to as the "sons of soil" ever since 1947 and added, "We are resolute to render all sorts of sacrifices but will not yield to servility." Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif did not bring into spotlight the Kashmir issue during his tete-a-tete with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, MQM chief underlined asserting that the government has forsaken Kashmir issue.
