KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain on Monday morning announced that he no longer wanted to run the party affairs and resigned from the post.
Speaking to party’s office-bearers at Nine-Zero via telephone from London, he said that he did not have energy or patience to run the party affairs and urged to the workers to dissolve the ‘movement’ and concentrate on running Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation (KKF) to serve mankind, the party’s charity oraganisation.
The MQM chief said that his decision was final this time and that all party activities should be halted from now on.
“I will not be addressing the workers from now on,” he said.
The MQM chief was apparently unhappy about the party leaders’ reaction on allegations hurled at him by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan.
He said the workers can choose another leader with consensus.
The party workers, however, refused to abide by his latest decision and chanted slogans in Hussain’s favour. “I cannot do everything alone in the party,” said the MQM chief.
It may be mentioned that Hussain has made the similar decision in the past as well only to take them back on workers’ insistence.
