Farooq Sattar’s Thursday evening press conference has caused quite a stir. The melodramatic show which was reminiscent of Altaf Hussain’s antics, albeit not as entertaining.
The incumbent MQM chief unleashed a tirade on Pak Sar-Zameen party founder Mustafa Kamal, members of his own party, and the establishment.
After effecting an emotionally charged speech, Sattar announced that he would be resigning from politics.
This announcement was immediately followed by earnest pleas of senior party members and workers who were assembled.
But, as luck would have it, Sattar retracted his resignation, claiming that his mother had convinced him to remain head of MQM for the sake of the Muhajir community.
Twitterati, of course, could not let this ripe opportunity pass. Twitter has since been flooded with thousands of sarcastic and hilarious posts.

#FarooqSattar has today proven to be mini #Joker and i am scared that after today many Hollywood actors may retire they can’t match this performance

I’m glad my mom is fast asleep unlike Farooq Sattar’s mother. Otherwise she would say “dekho, he also listens to his mother even at his age”

Normally politicians u-turn lete hain. Farooq Sattar ne tou gear reverse mein dala hai aur full speed mein pichli sari gariyun pe chad gaya hai.
