Wasan disowns Mirza's comments

KARACHI: Sindh Home Minister Manzoor Hussain Wasan Thursday said Zulfiqar Mirza's comments were his own and he expressed his personal views, which have nothing to do with the party, Geo News reported.

The minister said that Muttahida Qaumi Movement was a reality and not a small party, we should avoid passing such statements. He appealed to the people of Sindh to remain calm.

Earlier--Sindh Senior minister Dr. Zulfiqar Mirza has said that Afaq Ahmed is the real leader of the Urdu speaking people and he is the second biggest political prisoner after Asif Ali Zardari.
He was addressing the media at a dinner arranged by Awami National Party’s Sindh chief Shahi Syed’s residence, Mardan house here on Wednesday.
Mirza said that “if someone says that Afaq Ahmed is a criminal and a murderer, then I will say Altaf Hussain is a 100-times bigger criminal than Afaq.”
He said that he had met with Mohajir Qaumi Movement-Haqeeqi Chief Afaq Ahmed twice and that Ahmed was the real leader of the Urdu-speaking community. “The first time I met with Ahmed was when Dr Ishratul Ibad was still the governor and he pressured me not to reveal my meeting with Ahmed. I told Dr Ibad that I had to meet Ahmed since I am their minister”.
