KARACHI: Director General of Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asim Bajwa condemned the statements made by Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain, regarding the Pakistan Army and its chief and said that the matter would be legally pursued.
In a series of tweets the DG ISPR termed the MQM chief's remarks about the army and its leadership as "uncalled for and disgusting" and added that such references to the Army and its leadership as reaction to the arrest of criminals, who may have links with a political party, will not be tolerated.
Maj Gen Bajwa said that legal action would be taken against such remarks which use the media to incite the people of Pakistan to rise against the state.
He also tweeted that Pakistan Army and law enforcement agencies would continue to execute operations as assigned to them.
Earlier, MQM chief Altaf Hussain, in his late night address, criticised the military and said that the party had always been discriminated against.
He said that, "Those who surrendered are called patriots, while the founders of Pakistan are dubbed traitors.”

Altaf claimed that those in the 'corridors of power had never accepted them as son of the soil'. He said that, "Pakistan would bear irreparable loss, if atrocities against us [the MQM] are not stopped."
The MQM supremo said that other ethnic groups had also established nationalist organisations in the country but only his party was subjected to operations.
He said that earlier in 1992, they were also declared as ‘Indian agent’ and also raised the point that why the MQM is always linked with India, and not any other country.
