KARACHI: Chief of Muttahida Quami Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) Farooq Sattar on Wednesday said that politicians seem divided not voters.
Discussing the political situation on morning show Geo Pakistan, the politician said he wants the government to dismiss the August 22 cases.
“One tends to have an emotional affiliation with the founder of an ideology,” Sattar said. “Giving up such an old association is indeed a huge sacrifice.”
He further said the party (MQM-P) is in the process of debriefing party workers. The leader admitted to the emotional affiliation of approximately thirty percent party workers with former party chief Altaf Hussain.
“MQM-P fully understands the issues in Karachi. We have around 2,200 local body representatives on our platform,” said the MQM-P chief.
Speaking about his recent detention by police, Sattar said: “May be I was given the message that authorities can arrest or release me as they please. I did not care for my life, we (MQM-P) just want a policy. The Workers’ Convention, not Youm-e-Tasees was the measure of our success.”
On a lighter note, Sattar sang a song at the show.
