HYDERABAD: Sindh National Party chairman Amir Bhambhro has termed the statement of MQM chief Altaf Hussain as provocative in which he has asked his workers to wage war in every street in case he was killed or arrested. Bhambhro expressed surprise that whose heads would MQM workers chop in fight in every street of Karachi. Would their victims be Sindhis or security forces: armed personnel, Rangers and police. He said if that happens every child of Sindh would fight against them for survival of their motherland.Bhmbhro said days of Altaf are counted and he has to face his fate as he was killer of thousands of innocent people Sindhis,Punjabis, Pathans and others. He said Altaf even did not spare his own party companions Azim Tariq and Imran Farooq. He teaches workers that every one is to be killed who turns against him. He said soon Altaf was to meet his Waterloo that is why he was attempting to fan ethnic fight in Sindh. He said Sindhis would unite to foil his conspiracy to destabilize country in collaboration with Indian agency RAW.He asked Urdu speaking population to distance themselves against Altaf and his party because if they followed Altaf and waged war they could be losers to once again face migration.
