KARACHI: Chief of the Mohajir Qaumi Movement (MQM-H) Afaq Ahmed has demanded that banners and hoardings with the pictures of Altaf Hussain describing him as the “Father of the Nation” be removed immediately from the city otherwise his party would take legal course of action in this regard.

He said that Altaf Hussain and his party be taken to task for “dishonouring the founder of the country” by terming the MQM chief as the “Father of the Nation”.

“Hoardings, billboards and posters inscribed with ‘Father of the Nation’ are being posted across the city ahead of an MQM rally on Sunday to express solidarity with Altaf Hussain,” Afaq Ahmed said.

He said that if the banners and hoardings with the pictures of Altaf Hussain describing him as the “Father of the Nation” were not removed immediately, the MQM-H would take legal course of action in this regard.

He said that protests were being held against Geo for blaming a secret agency but why no action taken against a party that had caused disrespect to the founder of the country.
