Summary MQM will lose all goodwill "if they take Karachi hostage again with strike politics," he said.

KARACHI (Dunya News): In his latest post on social networking website Twitter, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) patron Bilawal Bhutto Zardari urged Muttahida Qaumi movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain to take back the call to strike on Saturday.
Bilawal asked MQM Chief to tell party workers that threatening people of Karcahi, traders and transporters live on TV is not right. He added that such tactics do not express MQM’s love to the people.
PPP patron added that he has “lots of sympathy for MQMs legitimate concerns,” adding that MQM will lose all goodwill “if they take Karachi hostage again with strike politics.”
Earlier, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) gave a call to hold strike on Saturday across Sindh including Karachi to mourn and protest against extrajudicial killings of party workers.
PPP chairman often makes headlines with his outspoken statements on Twitter. He came in the limelight with his rebuttals to MQM chief’s pressers through Twitter. Prior to that, Bilawal had attracted controversy by declaring Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan as ‘buzdil khan’, literally coward Khan.
Bilawal had also lashed out at proponents of negotiating with Taliban by saying whoever is a friend of Taliban is nation’s traitor.
