KARACHI. Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain on Sunday appealed to authorities to allow food supplies to reach Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) workers moving towards the Minhajul Quran secretariat in Lahore.
In a telephone address, Altaf warned that if the Punjab government did not remove containers from roads leading to Model Town "within 30 minutes", routes across the country would be blocked.
The MQM leader said that there are women and children among PAT supporters, who should not be deprived of basic food items and ration.
The official MQM website states that three trucks carrying food supplies had departed from Karachi to Lahore. "The foodstuff included biryani, bottles of mineral water, biscuits, juice and other eatable
In an emotional appeal, the MQM chief said, "Please show some mercy for the innocent children [who are a part of the protest]. I am not playing politics, I am appealing for the well being of these children so that the milk, water and biscuits being sent can reach them."
Addressing the police and administration of Lahore, he said, "Please don’t push us against a wall. We are not against anyone. We want peace and democracy."
