The former rabita committee member said that no one has the right to declare MQM as dictator or a patriotic party. He further clarified that life threats have been given to Altaf Hussein and hence the London government as part of the security step has restricted his unnecessary movements. ‘If any political party that shares the vision and aim as that of MQM is PTI because like Muttahida, Tehreek –e-Insaf believes in bringing the middle class into politics and like us they also oppose puppet ruler ship.’
Sattar directed the PML N leadership to accept MQM as the strong political party and not to level any allegations of dictatorship against it. He said that Altaf Hussain has asked the party workers to remain silent and show patience incase he gets arrested, he further talked upon.
It is worthwhile here to mention that the two political parties in the last held May elections have had been opponents of each other.

The two parties had exchanged hot words and the PTI had strongly been foe of Altaf Hussein. Ironically, the two party chairmen had had used abusive languages for each other which was streamed on TV, online websites and was recorded as written statements in the newspapers.
