RECORDER REPORT

KARACHI: Chief Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Mustafa Kamal has said that MQM-P chief Dr Farooq Sattar had been requesting Establishment to forge an alliance with its party as the latter has no future in the politics of Karachi.

PSP Chairman Mustafa Kamal holding press conference on Saturday at party headquarters, said he would comment on the “drama over the last two days”, referring to the allegations by Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) chief Farooq Sattar.

Kamal said in a press conference at Pakistan House that he met with Sattar because the latter had requested the Establishment to bring the two to the table.

The PSP Chairman criticised the media and others for “creating a perception” that Sattar was abducted and forced into conducting a joint press conference.

“The conference took place in front of everyone and the media. Yet such a perception was created. Governor Sindh also claimed Sattar was abducted and forced to give the press conference,” he said.

Kamal added that Sattar had been giving the impression that whatever decisions PSP took was at the behest of the Establishment.

“Sattar has been meeting us through the establishment since eight months,” he said, saying the developments were not just 48 hours-long.

The PSP chief admitted that he was in contact with the establishment but said he was not an “Establishment agent” adding that everyone in the country, including politicians, businessmen etc, were in contact with the Establishment.
