Altaf Hussain, founder of Pakistan's Muttahida Qami Movement (MQM), is in complete support of India's decision to abrogate Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. Hussain said it was India's internal matter. He even went on to sing "Saare jahan se achha Hindustan humara."
"Revocation of Article 370 by the Indian government was absolutely an internal matter of India and the government of India took this decision with the overwhelming support of the people of India," Hussain said in an address in London on Saturday.
"Pakistan invaded Jammu and Kashmir and for that purpose used people of the tribal belt of Pakistan, arming them to attack and free J&K. Following this, the Maharaja of J&K approached India for help, consenting to merge the princely state with India. Pakistan fought four wars with India over the region but faced a humiliating defeat in all those four fights. Pakistan had not stopped conspiring against India and continued to infiltrate Indian territory with armed non-state actors in form of Jihadists," he added.
"Pakistan misuses Kashmiris and drives them to a corner where they have no choice except to hoist Pakistani flag and chant slogans for making J&K party of Pakistan," the MQM founder said.

Altaf Hussain further said that Pakistan misuses Kashmiris and drives them to a corner where they have no choice except to hoist Pakistani flag and chant slogans for making J&K party of Pakistan.
The MQM founder also highlighted the plight of minorities in Pakistan. He said that the Pakistan Army killed unarmed and defenceless innocent Mohajirs, Balochs, Pashtuns, Sindhis, Hazarwalls, Gilgitis and other minorities.
