Altaf Hussain for creation of more federating units

ISLAMABAD: Muttahia Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has called for formation of small federating units in the country.

He said that more provinces will have to be carved out for survival of Pakistan.

The MQM chief, who was addressing party workers on Wednesday, said that army generals who supported Gen Pervez Musharrad in triggering 1999 coup should also be tried under article 6.

He said a case should also be registered against Gen Ashfaq Pervez Kayani.

Hussain said that cases should be registered against other generals or else the authorities let Pervez Musharraf off the hook.



He said that the Pakistan People’s Party had supported creation of more provinces in Punjab and Hazara province in KPK.

During Hussain’s speech, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari posted a message on social networking website tweeter: “Masroon Marsoon, Sindh Na Desoon (We will die but not give Sindh).

Responding to Bilawal’s remarks, Hussain said “You are a kid, call your father”. He said that Mr Zardari, father of Bilawala, makes his son to utter the words he himself chose not to speak.
