LONDON: Prime Minister Narendra Modi should speak out for the rights of Muhajirs in Karachi, the self-exiled Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Altaf Hussain said on Thursday, The Indian Express reported.
He said Modi had failed to speak out for the people who lived in India for centuries.
“I would like to register my complaint with the Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, as I regret to say, you never raise your voice for your own people who lived in India for centuries. Our forefathers made a big mistake and migrated to Pakistan, but we were born here, and never accepted as Pakistani or sons of soil. Mr. Prime Minister you should have raised your voice for your own people in Karachi, Pakistan,” he added.
Speaking in London, he said Modi should raise his voice for Pakistani muhajirs and people of Balochistan.
He also went on saying that migration was a ‘big mistake’ of the forefathers of Pakistani migrants.
“Our forefathers made a big mistake and migrated to Pakistan, but we were born here, and were never accepted as Pakistani or sons of soil. Prime Minister you should have raised your voice against the atrocities, discrimination and brutality against Urdu speaking 'muhajirs', your own people in Karachi,” he said, according to media reports.
