‘MQM would have severed ties with US, its allies over Aafia’s sentence’Staff Report
KARACHI: Had the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) been in power, it would have severed all ties with the US and its allies over the inhuman sentence of the daughter of the nation Dr Aafia Siddiqui by the US court, MQM chief Altaf Hussain said on Saturday.
He was addressing a condolence session in the memory of MQM convenor Dr Imran Farooq at MQM headquarters Nine Zero. “The enemies snatched away our beloved, unwavering, determined, devoted, firm and great leader by ruthlessly murdering him,” he said. May Almighty Allah acknowledge and accept his sacrifices, struggles, devotion, commitment and martyrdom, and grant him the highest esteem and solace to his companions, family and MQM supporters, he added.
“If the MQM had been in power, then it would have immediately severed ties with the US and its allies even at the cost of the IMF loan because some countries do not compromise their integrity and national dignity, and they prefer starvation to rid their country from slavery,” he said.
He demanded the US administration to immediately free Siddiqui.
