KARACHI, May 16: Terming Asma Jahangir a `chauvinist lady’, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement has advised her to form a political party instead of making `cheap’ statements against the MQM under the cover of human rights.

In a statement issued here on Wednesday, the MQM MNAs criticised Ms Jahangir, the chairperson of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, for her ‘biased political views’ against the party and advised her to form a ‘chauvinist party’.

They alleged she had secret relations with the Pakistan People’s Party and that the MQM was collecting evidence against her to inform the public and the media about her alleged wrongdoings.
