He added that he was the head of the Senate’s third largest party.

I have a used Land Cruiser while Mustafa Kamal’s Land Cruiser costs Rs32.5 million.

Sattar questioned where did he (Mustafa Kamal) get the costly vehicle and DHA’s residence and office?

I live in a house inherited from my father, who purchased it in 1968 for Rs25000.

The MQM-P leader requested the media to investigate the assets of the heads of all political parties, including PML-N and ANP.
