Pir of London
By Salman Mugsi • Sep 3rd, 2008 • Category: Politics • (4,160 views) • 2 CommentsI never knew why Ardsher Cowasjee, the renowned veteran columnist of Dawn newspaper, always called Altaf Hussain ,the head honcho of MQM, the “Pir of London”, until I hear the blessed statements of Mushahid Hussain, the presidential candidate from PML-Q from Nine Zero, the dreaded headquarter of MQM.
Mushahid was unable to stop his shaking head in awe and fey of Altaf. He was heard saying that Altaf Bhai has refreshed my faith, and he has heated up my soul from inside out, and there is nothing like it. Altaf Hussain talked to the trio of Mushahid Hussain, Chaudhary Shujaat and Pervaiz Elahi at length and gave them every gem of wisdom except the much-needed votes for the presidential elections, and perhaps that was what made Mushahid shaking his head. Another funny view was of the Farooq Sattar who was standing there with the PML-Q leaders sheepishly singing the hymns of Altaf Bhai.
Mushahid Hussain should give some Nazrana to the Pir Sahib, if he wants to achieve something in his life.

Mugsi Sahib, you say, “…………..Nine Zero, the dreaded headquarter of MQM.” You forgot to mention that it’s loved by MQM’s voters, it is not that only Mushahid, Pervez Elahi and Shujat have been there. Nawaz and BB and Zardari have all had the honour to be pilgrims there. No matter how much you hate it, those who know the importance of its votebank do care. MQM’s stength and popularity bothers you a lot doesn’t it, but then it is time you learnt to respect it.
Great day!

Well,for me whenever I see (and hear) an Altaf Bhais’s speech being telecasted on the TV channels via Telephone and a large number of people sitting there with almost a pin drop silence and the way Bhai delivers his speech, I dont know why I somehow feel that another religious sect is in the making.
Pardon me but I just cant escape this feeling.
