KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has said that the government’s days were numbered the moment it postponed the elections in Karachi for two Azad Jammu and Kashmir Assembly seats. He was speaking to a general workers’ convention of the party in Karachi on Sunday.
MQM announced boycott of the AJK polls on Saturday against the government’s decision to postpone the polls on Karachi seats.
He said it would not have been possible for the PPP to remain in power without the support of MQM. “The steps that PPP is taking today must be making Z A Bhutto and Benazir turn in their graves.”
He appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take notice of the AJK election matters. He said the postponing of polls in Karachi had made the AJK polls unacceptable.
He said MQM was taunted at for supporting the government although it did so only for the sake of democracy.
