Imran Farooq is Shaheed-e-Inqilab: Altaf

KARACHI Muttahida Qaumi Movement Chief Altaf Hussain has expressed his deep grief over the killing of Dr Imran Farooq and said Farooq is the Shaheed-e-Inqilab (martyr of revolution). He said This news is shocking and unbelievable for me. This is the biggest blow to my life which I will never forget. Altaf was struck in grief and he wept bitterly at the news briefing in London on Friday. Members of MQM Coordination Committee tried to console Altaf. Altaf said Farooq was not only the convener of the MQM but also my associate from the earliest days. This is the most serious attack and the grief of Farooq will always remain in my heart. He further said I have been deprived of a staunch, loyal and senior companion. Altaf expressed his heartfelt condolences to the family of Farooq and has prayed Almighty Allah to give courage and fortitude to his parents, widow, children, brothers and sisters to bear this irreparable loss. He said This is a great loss not only for them but for the whole party and particularly for me. He prayed Allah for accepting the martyrdom and for giving a lofty position to Dr Farooq in heaven.
