MQM-Pakistan convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui took a strong exception to this statement and delivered a strong worded speech in National Assembly saying, former president had passed some objectionable remarks against Urdu speaking community residing in Pakistan, known as Mohajirs which has insulted the sentiments of Mohajirs on Thusday.
