Altaf Hussain maintained that whatever Mirza said were blatant lies and such statements cannot change the minds of his sincere political workers.
He maintained that if MQM were to misuse and dispose off its workers like ’tissue paper’ as Saulat Mirza claimed, the party would not have been as successful as it is today.
MQM chief appeared on ARY News show ‘Andar Ki Baat’ and claimed that he neither fears prison nor is afraid of trials adding that he was imprisoned for 9 months during Zia-ul-Haq’s regime without any charges.
Altaf Hussain lamented that MQM is being maligned without proof.
Answering a question, Hussain clarified that he never labeled all journalists as ‘bad’ but only spoke against few black sheeps.
“I am a fighter, I would not lose courage”, said the MQM founder.
