In his ARY News show ‘Khara Sach’, Lucman said that during his study he found some strange similarities between MQM founder and current TTP chief Mullah Fazlullah.
1. Both Altaf Hussain and Mullah Fazlullah came from humble backgrounds as the former was born and educated in Karachi, Only had a bike when he was young and created APMSO as a student.
The latter was born in a farmer’s house in 1974 and was serving as Sky Lift operator in his youth.
2. Altaf Hussain started his party’s funding with a voluntary hide and charity collection so did Mullah Fazlullah (in the name of charity) during the early days of his rise.
3. While Hussain targeted the Mohajir (immigrants from India during the partition) youth in the name of rights Fazlullah started with the conservative Pashtun youth.
4. Mullah Fazlullah campaigned for ‘an ideal society’ free of all evils and asked all to buy arms as the state institutions are not able to protect them.
Similarly Altaf Hussain during his early days asked his followers to sell fridge, Television and Video Cassette Recorders (VCR) to buy arms.
