Altaf announces to disband Karachi Tanzeemi Committee next week

KARACHI: Expressing his anger over the alleged involvement of his party’s office bearers in unscrupulous activities, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain Thursday announced to scrap Karachi Tanzeemi Committee by next week.

“The office bearers take kickbacks of hundreds of thousands of rupees for providing employment,” the indignant MQM Chief said while addressing the party workers in Karachi via telephone from London.

He warned the members of MQM Rabitta Committee and its International Secretariat to mend their ways within one week’s time, saying discipline has been the pride of his party.

He said not just that, they also take money from Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation (KKF) – the welfare wing of MQM.

During the live coverage of the speech, the workers told Altaf Hussain that the office bearers had become addicted to air-conditioned cars and that there are some black sheep in the party.

Altaf Hussain said the country has been made a mockery of. “The economy is ruined and there is no electricity and employment for people”.

He asked Pakistan’s ‘army and civilians’ to let him visit the country for fifteen days and he will bring about the much needed change in the country.

Surprisingly, for the first time, the workers told the MQM chief to come back. They said Pakistan will protect him.

He said he can no longer carry the burden of the party and now he seeks to be relieved. He said the workers may find a new leader and form new committees. Altaf Hussain said he be allowed some time off so that he can regain fitness for the task.

“This can never happen,” the workers shouted with one voice.
