Altaf Hussain said if US decided to release Dr Aafia,we would try to convince families of people to accept blood money n forgive Davis
Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has said a revolution of patriotic Pakistanis on the pattern of the French Revolution is knocking on the door of the country, and asked “patriotic army generals” to get ready to save the sovereignty of Pakistan.
He has further said that if the US agrees to release Dr Aafia Siddiqui, the heirs of the two young men shot dead by American national Raymond Davis could be requested to pardon him.
Hussain was delivering a telephonic address to a huge audience gathered to welcome former Test cricketer Sarfraz Nawaz at ë90’ in Azizabad on Friday.
Nawaz was accorded a rousing welcome as he was received by MQM Rabita Committee members headed by Deputy Convener Dr Farooq Sattar. The party workers were chanting “Altaf, Altaf” slogans and waving MQM flags.
On the occasion, Hussain asked Nawaz to work with dedication and, as like his impressive bowling, he was supposed to bring the wealth looted by the corrupt elements back to the country.
The MQM chief advised the former Test cricketer to work like any other MQM worker and shed his ego since he had now joined the Muttahida.
Nawaz responded by saying that he would serve the MQM just like an ordinary worker under his (Hussain’s) leadership.
The MQM leader once again said that the corrupt people should not be allowed to escape and they should be hanged publicly. He said that the people should now understand that the time had come to eliminate corruption from Pakistan and for this a revolution had been knocking on the door of the country.
He once again reiterated that all those corrupt army generals who led the country’s disintegration and gave powers to feudal lords should be hanged publicly, adding that all those generals who caused the country’s disintegration would have to face a situation similar to that in Egypt.
He said that the majority of army generals had become a liability on Pakistan and a burden on the people.
“Our army generals had joined hands with feudal lords, entrepreneurs and elements involved in looting the national exchequer and forged a relationship with these corrupt people, thus constituting one family,” he said, adding that the country had been facing the worst economic crisis and all the people needed to join hands to steer Pakistan out of the present morass.
”Karachi is an economic hub of the country; therefore, peace has to be restored in this city at all costs,” Hussain said and appealed to all the political and religious parties to join the MQM before it was too late to save this country.
He said that the wealthy class had been enjoying all kinds of privileges and was considered as above the law, but if a revolution of middle and poor segments of people came, then those who had looted the country would be held accountable without any discrimination.
Hussain said that negative propaganda was being launched against the MQM only because it raised the voice for the poor and middle class people as well as for getting rid of the inherited political culture of feudal lords.
He said that despite negative propaganda against the party, the MQM had been continuing Jihad against the two percent privileged class of the country.
Referring to the under-trial US citizen, Raymond Davis, the MQM founder said that the US should wait for the court decision and stop putting pressure on Pakistan in this regard.
However, he added that if the US handed over Dr Aafia Siddiqi to Pakistan, his party could request the heirs of the two men killed by Raymond Davis to forgive the US citizen and accept compensation in return.Former test cricketer Sarfaraz Nawaz said the country will one day see a prime minister from the the Muttahida Qaumi Movement.
The former test cricketer, who has recently joined the MQM, said he needed a party which was against corruption, saying he had been attacked in the Punjab Assembly for having raised his voice against corruption.
He said the MQM would now enter the Punjab with a new spirit which would subsequently spread all over the country.
Dr Farooq Sattar said on the occasion that the MQM was emerging as a third option in the politics of the country.
Sarfaraz said he was moved by the love and affection he received during his visit to Nine-Zero on Friday.
He said he had been observing the performance of the MQM for the last four years, raising its voice for the poor and the middle classes and this made him join the party.
Sarfaraz said that the feudal lords had plundered the country, and to get rid of such corrupt elements, the people should come under the flag of the MQM.
He said his leader, Altaf Hussain, wanted a Pakistan that was free from corruption where the people were genuinely empowered.
