KARACHI: Former Karachi mayor Mustafa Kamal, who along with Anees Qaimkhani and Dr Shageer Ahmed decimated his ex-party MQM and its chief Altaf Hussain on his return to Karachi last week, announced Wednesday that he will hold his first public rally ‘very soon’ here at Bagh-e-Jinnah adjacent to Quaid’s mausoleum.
Speaking to media representatives here, Kamal, in an obvious reference to MQM leaders, said he would try to not use the kind of language that ‘they’ do. “I can only pray that the Almighty show them the right path,” he added.
He said efforts are afoot by his yet-to-be-named party to constitute separate forums for students, women and lawyers. The former mayor said work is also being performed at the grass roots level to mobilise people.
Kamal accused Altaf Hussain of insulting party workers several times in public meetings, especially once in May 2013 when he changed the party set up overnight.
He recalled that during his time in the MQM, the party’s Rabita Committee would continuously be degraded and insulted by Altaf Hussain within weeks and months, but recently the situation had worsened so much that the Rabita Committee would now be insulted every few minutes.
