It’s reliably learnt that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s convener in London and Altaf Hussain’s long-time ally, Nadeem Nusrat, has parted ways with Altaf Hussain.
According to sources, rift over financial matters prompted Nusrat to take the decision, and he is reported to have moved to the United States from London with family.
Hussain, who has already been deserted by leading London Coordination Committee members including Wasay Jalil, Inbisat Malik and Zulfiqar Haider, suffers another setback with Nadeem’s leaving the party.
The MQM supremacist has been in trouble since his rant against the armed forces in August last year, after which party members distanced themselves from him and gathered under the leadership of Farooq Sattar to form a separate faction.
