Despite serious reservations regarding his politics and a strong dislike for the man, I must confess that Altaf Hussain is raising pertinent and thought-provoking questions.
The issues raised by Altaf Hussain in your cover story, What is Altaf Hussain up to? (November 2000), beg answer. His re-examination of Jinnah, the creation of Pakistan and the distribution of power in Pakistan verges on the profound.
For once, and I cannot communicate the extent of my surprise at the development, Hussain is making great sense. We ignore what he is saying at our own peril. Clearly Altaf Hussain is proof that politicians live and learn
