MQM has forgotten Dr Imran Farooq, widow says

The widow of slain MQM founding member Dr Imran Farooq has questioned the MQM leadership in a poignant reminder on the 12th death anniversary of her husband.

Dr Farooq, one of the founders of the MQM along with Altaf Hussain, was stabbed and bludgeoned to death near his apartment in London on September 16, 2010. 

In a tweet, Shumaila Imran Farooq paid tribute to her husband and reminded everyone how her life has been a misery and pain ever since the murder of Dr Farooq at his own doorstep in Edgware, West London.

Shumaila, who is a cancer patient and suffers from several other illnesses, said she has been left to rot on her own in the absence of her husband.

“Oh my Allah please open such a door of mercy for me, the width of which could surprise me. There is no sunshine and no shelter in my life anymore. I am a cancer patient living in a one-bedroom house whose husband was killed 12 years ago and who travels on buses. Doctor Imran Farooq has been forgotten by his own people as well as others. Please remember me and my sons in your prayers,” former MQM MPA wrote. 

In the next tweet, Shumaila asked where had the MQM disappeared. She said: “Where are the MQM people who have forgotten the families of their own martyrs? The biggest bitter truth of life is the loss of your loved ones. I wish the MQM people understood this.”
