Altaf Hussain News: MQM Founder Hospitalized in London
Hussain's hospitalization is a result of cumulative stress from various factors, including the political climate and financial difficulties, and his treatment is ongoing with a series of diagnostic tests and a blood transfusion already administered.
Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder Altaf Hussain has been hospitalized in London due to severe emotional and psychological stress caused by various factors, including the domestic and international political climate, ongoing legal cases, and financial hardship.
According to party officials, Hussain underwent a medical check-up at a local hospital and was prescribed diagnostic tests, including blood tests, ECG, and CT scans. A blood transfusion was also administered to help stabilize his condition. The party's London-based leader, Mustafa Azizabadi, confirmed that Hussain's condition remains under close observation and the medical team is continuing with further evaluations and treatment.
Hussain, who has been living in self-exile in the UK for over three decades, has been facing prolonged stress due to the national and international situation, multiple legal cases in London, and severe financial difficulties. The MQM founder was previously accused of encouraging terrorism and was acquitted in 2022. Despite being declared a fugitive in 2015, Hussain has remained active in Pakistani politics, leading the MQM from afar.
The news of Hussain's hospitalization has raised concerns among his supporters and party members, who are eagerly awaiting updates on his condition. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this development will impact the future of the MQM and Pakistani politics as a whole.
