Quaid e Tehreek Altaf Hussain's philosophy has always been to protect the rights of the poor and middle-class Pakistanis because he knew that 98% of our nation's population has been held at gun point by the top 2% rich and powerful of the country and therefore he felt the need to eliminate this system of abuse that is being used by the elites that has been going on for most of the past 62 years since our country's independence.

So naturally he made a lot of enemies in the process of enlightening the poor and middle-class masses of the nation and help them break from the shackles of corruption, injustice, poverty and the abuse of power by the so-called leaders of our country and thus when the establishment felt threated by his movement they decided that in order to protect their interests, it would be best to end his life, after all why would the rich and powerful feudal or a businessman would want to give rights to the common man, it is in their nature to suppress the poor and create a system in which the 'rich becomes richer and the 'poor becomes poorer' and have the ability to control to destiny of the common man.

There were 2 assassination attempts that were made on Altaf Hussain when his popularity shot up through the roof and his movement was at its peak.

The first attack took place during his visit to the United States in New York in 1987, the second assassination attempt took place right here in Karachi when he returned from his visit to London on December 21, 1991. When Altaf Hussain's flight  reached Karachi from London, it is alledged that some hitmen were hired to eliminate Altah Hussain and with him his party and its philisophy but it was not to happen. After landing at Karachi airport he and his party workers left for Ayesha Manzil and upon arriving to Ayesha Manzil in Federal B Area the attackers armed with a hand grenade tried to blow up the car in which Altaf bhai was travelling, luckily the grenate blew up in the attackers hands and one of the attackers died on the spot while the other attacker who was injured by the blast handed himself to the authorities, namely the police.

 The police then set a great example of justice when at the scene of the incident the police came and when the second injured attacker handed himself to them unarmed and injured, the police shot him dead at the scene and later called it a police encounter. MQM supporters alledged that the police obviously knew about the whole conspiracy to kill Altah Hussain and were present at the scene of the incident in order to make sure that the job is done or otherwise destroy any evidence if undone and so the second hitman was eliminated in order to protect those present in the establishment at the time from being convicted in this regard.

By the grace of God, Quaid e Tehreek Altaf Hussain escaped unhurt in both these attempts.
