Altaf considers Imran ‘full Muhajir’, his brother

KARACHI: Responding to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s claim regarding him being a “half Muhajir”, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain late on Wednesday went a step further and declared the former “full Muhajir” and his brother.

Speaking to a private TV channel, he said following the disclosure by the PTI chief that his mother’s family migrated to Pakistan, Imran Khan has become his brother.

Khan was addressing a press conference at PTI candidate for the NA-246 by-poll Imran Ismael’s residence upon his arrival in the city. During the press conference, the PTI chief said that he was in the city ‘to break the shackles of fear’.

MQM chief Altaf Hussain also extended an invitation to the former cricket star’s wife Reham Khan to visit Jinnah Ground and his residence Nine-Zero in Azizabad along with her husband. “It would give us more sense of association with them,” he added.

Responding to the MQM chief’s invitation, Reham Khan, however, said that she was arriving in Karachi on the invitation of her ‘brothers and sisters’ and did not need anyone else’s invitation to visit the Pakistani metropolis.
