LONDON: Veteran Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Mohammad Anwar passed away at a London hospital on Friday after a battle with cancer.
The news was confirmed by his relative, who posted to Twitter saying that 70-year-old Anwar “bravely battled a lethal cancer” and that he passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family.
He leaves behind his wife and three daughters.
Mr Anwar, a British citizen, lived in London and had been with the party since 1989. His association with MQM supremo Altaf Hussain spans more than two decades. It was he who received Mr Hussain in London when he arrived there 30 years ago and facilitated him in setting up what is now known as the MQM’s international secretariat.
