The Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr Altaf Hussain has appealed to the government to release all innocent workers of Pakistan Awami Tehreek and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf immediately as a gesture of goodwill. He said that efforts should be made to resolve issues through mutual understanding.

In an interview Mr Hussain praised the government for showing patience and restraint in handling the situation but added that the government should take recourse to patience a little more and release all workers.

Mr Hussain appealed to the PAT and PTI leaders to restart the process of dialogues and try to resolve issues in a manner that may be acceptable to the government and all other stakeholders.

Mr Hussain said the government was within its right to use the law for maintaining law and order but the situation demands that the law is not misused. The government should move gently in order to ease the situation.

Speaking about the devastation caused by floods Mr Hussain said that Punjab and Kashmir were hit hard by floods and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. He extended sympathies to the flood victims who lost everything in floods. He prayed Almighty Allah to end the hardships being faced by the people.

Mr Hussain said that the people affected by floods and heavy rains need our attention. He appealed to the PAT and PAT workers to put off their sit-ins for the time being in order to help the people affected by floods.
