KARACHI, November 21: Head of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Pakistan, Dr Farooq Sattar said that the most outspoken critics of his party in the country would witness a real power show next month which would be too good to be true for them.
Speaking to a workers convention of the breakaway faction of MQM in Karachi on Monday, he said that his party would organise a grand rally on December 25 in the city, which would be enough to send out a strong message for his political competitors.
Dr Sattar said, so far, his party just showed a trailer of its popularity, the real show would be on the day of MQM Pakistan’s rally.
