Farooq Sattar not a part of MQM-P anymore: Amir Khan

KARACHI: Amir Khan, senior leader of Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), on Saturday declared that Farooq Sattar does not belong to the party anymore.

While speaking to mediamen, Amir Khan categorically said “Farooq Sattar is no longer a part of the MQM-P and should stop using its name and flag.”

He continued, “I am not answerable for any of his [Farooq Sattar] statements.”

The key leader of MQM-P maintained, “We will present the Karachi case in front of the chief justice.”

Praising Waseem Akhtar, he said, the Mayor Karachi did a lot of work despite lack of resources. The Constitution binds him to implement court orders. The Karachi mayor only razed encroachments on footpaths, he explained.

The MQM-P leader further said, “Sattar is no longer a part of the party and I am not answerable for any of his statements. He should stop using the party’s name or flag.”

Farooq Sattar V/S Waseem Akhtar

Earlier today, Farooq Sattar and Waseem Akhtar also locked horns over the anti-encroachment drive.

Former convener MQM-P Farooq Sattar while taking an aim at Mayor Karachi said, “Waseem Akhtar was voted to construct Karachi not destroy it.”

“Waseem Akhtar should try to get votes from Karachi now,” the disgruntled MQM-P leader lashed out at his political party fellow.

On the other hand, when media approached the Mayor Karachi for his reply over the statement of his erstwhile party chief, he remarked, “What should I respond to Farooq Sattar’s talk? I don’t even know which party he belongs to.”

“If I destroyed Karachi then Farooq Sattar tried to destro the MQM,” he added.

Waseem Akhtar further advised his Sattar that he should only focus on worshiping Allah now.
