He said: "Time has come that the entire nation should stand up against the menace of terrorism for the country's survival." Hussain was speaking to members of MQM's Rabita Committee, federal and provincial ministers, MPAs, District and Town Nazims and other office bearers of the party arrived here from Pakistan. MQM chief said that religious extremists were targeting not only innocent citizens, but police and security forces also. "These acts of terrorisms have badly damaged the country's image around the world," he noted.
