Pakistan humiliated for being America’s courier service -Altaf Hussain
—————————
LONDON. UK. - October 23: Muttahida Qaumi Movement's (MQM) founding leader and the Supremo, Altaf Hussain, said that by attempting to act as a mediator between Iran and the United States while actually serving American interests and playing the role of America's courier service, Pakistan finds itself in deep trouble on the global stage today.
In order to protect the country from plunging into even greater crises, our rulers must stop worrying about putting out fires in other people's homes and focus on their own, he added.
In his 488th public address via TikTok from London on October 23, 2026, Hussain said that the tragedy is that on prioritizing the public interests to the foreign powers , it becomes completely oblivious to the hardships of its people.
Instead, it resorts to authoritarian and oppressive tactics against anyone who dares to speak up for their rights, he suggested.
Just two days ago, Field Marshal Asim Munir and Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi visited Iran. The cold reception they faced from the Iranian government during this trip has not gone unnoticed by the world, he claimed, asserting that according to reports, the reason behind this was a message delivered by Asim Munir and Mohsin Naqvi on behalf of the United States, urging Iran to hand over its enriched uranium to Washington, a demand that the Iranian government flatly rejected.
Rather than, he continued to tell, acting as a neutral mediator, Pakistan's choice to play the role of an American courier service has brought it profound embarrassment.
"You have failed to put out the fire raging in your own home, yet you are busy trying to extinguish fires elsewhere." "My only advice is: for God's sake, care for your own country, and do not put national dignity on the line just to safeguard the interests of global powers."
