Farooq Sattar?s press conference was not a faux fight: Khursheed Shah

ISLAMABAD: Opposition leader in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah said on Wednesday that Farooq Sattar?s press conference was not a faux fight and praised the way the senior MQM leader presented his stance yesterday.

Talking to the media at Chamber here earlier today, Khursheed Shah said it was obvious from Farooq Sattar?s press conference that it had been delivered under immense political pressure.

Farooq Sattar had announced at a press conference in Karachi that he was assuming charge and that future party decisions would be made by the MQM Rabita Committee in Pakistan.

?MQM London won?t sit in silence,? Khursheed Shah said, adding that the party in London would try its utmost to prevent transfer of power to Karachi.

The opposition leader also claimed that MQM chief Altaf Hussain sat with people belonging to the Indian lobby.

?How much more abuse would article 6 take?? he said, adding that Zia-ul-Haq had hanged the prime minister who had introduced the article in the first place.

Khursheed Shah further said that the government had talked about imposing article 6 on Pervez Musharraf but then let him leave the country.

?The government has tried to deflect attention from Panama Leaks,? he contended.
