We want Quaid’s not Taliban’s Pakistan: Altaf Hussain

JAHANIAN: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain Sunday reiterated that his party wants Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal’s Pakistan and not Taliban’s Pakistan.

Altaf Hussain while addressing a public meeting via telephone as part of MQM’s electoral campaign here in the province of Punjab, said if religion does not espouse subjecting people to coercion then why mosques and Imam Bargahs are being attacked.

The MQM Chief said despite all the propaganda, the graph of his party’s popularity could not be prevented from moving up.

He demanded that the south Punjab be made an independent and autonomous province and urged the people not to look towards those who merely chant slogans and try to them show green pastures. “Only keep the politicians’ character in view,” he advised the people.

Altaf Hussain claimed that MQM was practically struggling for the people’s rights and promised to resolve their issues after coming into power.

He vowed to establish a community centre and a hospital in Jahanian besides providing educational facilities to its people. The farmers’ difficulties in connection with selling their wheat produce will be resolved, he added.

Hussain announced to initiate an ambulance service in Jahanian within a couple of days.
