MQM workers descent into crime

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)
Recalling some glimpses from the past, he said: "When the 2013 elections arrived, the Urdu-speaking citizens of Karachi casted more than 850,000 votes in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf‘s favour. But the MQM, due to its organisational structure, was the only party to bounce back while remaining in government for five years."
"Despite poor governance and performance between 2008 and 2013, the MQM was able to bag two more seats in the National Assembly in last elections."
He said: "I thought the PTI was stealing almost a million votes from MQM s strongholds."
The party ended coalition with the PPP four times and rejoined it laterm, he added.
After PTI achieved success during the 2013 elections, "Altaf sahab and the MQM instead of apologising, began verbally attacking PTI women activists at Teen Talwar," he said.
Kamal said despite repeated requests, Altaf Hussain did not listen to advice by party leaders.
