Karachi: Senior Pakistan journalist Najam Sethi Wednesday said that Muttahid Qaumi Movement (MQM) had nothing to answer the allegations made by Dr Zulfiqar Mirza accept playing ‘Muhajir Cards’.
Responding to the allegations made by MQM’s Rabita Committee member Mustafa Kamal against him and host of a private Pakistani TV channel (Geo News)’s programme “Apas Ki Baat” on Tuesday, Sethi said that if MQM has to use ‘Muhajir Card’ then why Afaq Ahmed had sidelined.
At the one hand MQM leaders claim that MQM was a national party but at the same time they use Muhajir cards, Sethi said, added that MQM should come forward with clear stand that it is a national party or a regional party. He said they (MQM members) should talk think before alleging us.
He said we (journalists) speak in front of screen according to facts and figures and it is our responsibility and we will continue our job to aware people about reality. He also said that anyone can criticize us and reject our report but he appealed – for God sake – do not abuse us.
While talking about the letter revealed by senior Sindh minister Dr Zulfiar Mirza, Sethi said the letter was not faked. He also informed the exact locations of the address mentioned in the letter, saying Colindale is on just eight minute drive from MQM’s London headquarter in Ajvar, London.
He also appealed his director that replace the name of his programme into ‘Yajuj Majuj’ from ‘Apas Ki Baat’ as people in Karachi are demanding.
He said former prime minister Pakistan Nawaz Sharif got him thrashed. Former military ruler Pervez Musharraf banned Geo News for three months and now MQM is also adopting the same way.
Referring the target killer Kamran Madhuri he said MQM had nothing to answer Mirza’s allegations but Mirza presented facts.
He also said that it is also right that MQM’s minister running behind foreign ambassies and this is not shocking because Pakistani politicians do it and WikiLeaks also revealed that.

Sethi views about Zulfiqar Mirza
Najam Sethi also thrashed Mirza and said he played a big drama in front of public and fortunately he got success in his plan.
