Altaf pays tributes to ‘martyrs’
KARACHI: Founder leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Altaf Hussain paid tributes to the martyrs of September 30 and October 1 tragedies in Hyderabad and Karachi in 1988.
In a statement from London Secretariat, he said both tragic incidents blackened the history of the country and the more unfortunate thing was not a single intellectual, writer, literate and scholar came forward and condemned such heinous crimes against the humanity. He said after 26 years, the silence of the entire nation over tragedies against Mohajirs caused them to prevail in extreme deprivation.
Hussain said those unfortunate incidents were designed to create dichotomy between Urdu and Sindhi speaking communities. He said the murderers and conspirators were not yet arrested. He said the so-called writers and intellectuals kept repeating various historical incidents but never bothered to raise voice against Mohajirs’ massacres.
