LAHORE: Chairman of Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP), Mustafa Kamal on Saturday claimed that the establishment called upon his party to form an alliance with the Farooq Sattar-led Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) upon Sattar’s request.
Kamal told journalists, that he met with Farooq Sattar because had requested the establishment to bring us to the table.
“Today I want to tell all of Pakistan that, yes, the establishment called us and made us meet Farooq Sattar. When we reached, Sattar was already there and it was on his request that we were called. This did not happen a few hours ago. Sattar and his team have been calling us with help from the establishment for the past eight months,” he claimed.
“This is not a plan that is eight months old, however. It is a plan that started on Aug 22, 2016, when Farooq Sattar was [put in charge],” he added.
“I am not an agent [of the establishment]. If I was, I would not leave my senatorship in 2013.”
“I will end my party and ask my workers to return home, but I will not be a part of the MQM because the MQM was and still is Altaf Hussain’s, and will continue to be… Altaf Hussain is a traitor and a Research and Analysis Wing agent. If he is working openly for RAW, he is not doing any work for his own country,” he alleged.
The PSP chairman criticised the media for “creating a perception” that Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) chief Farooq Sattar was abducted and forced into conducting a joint press conference.
“The conference took place in front of everyone and the media. Yet such a perception was created,” he said during his press conference at Pakistan House.
Kamal added, that Sattar has been giving the impression that whatever decisions PSP takes is at the behest of the establishment.
“Sattar has been meeting us through the establishment since eight months,” he said.
