Imposing Martial Law is better than forming military courts: Altaf Hussain
An unequal distribution of food between two brothers is bound to trigger a quarrel, says MQM chief
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain on Wednesday has said that it would be better to declare Martial Law than to establish army courts and urged Chief Of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif to impose the Martial Law for as many as two years.
He expressed these views in a press conference via telephone.
MQM chief said that if they have to take an undemocratic path then it would be better to declare Martial Law. The houses of the muhajireen were raided in the name of “operation” and they were called agents of Indian Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), he added.
Hussain said that derogatory remarks were passed against muhajireen like push them into the ocean and get them over with.
Sindh passed the resolution in favour of Pakistan and the province itself is accused of treason, he added. Hussain urged COAS General Raheel Sharif to take charge of the country for as many as two years.
If the nation supports the Pakistan Army then Pakistan could be saved of the terror and that the COAS should impose such a Martial Law that the corrupt people pay every single penny back to the nation from whom they stole it. While answering a question, he said that an unequal distribution of food between two brothers is bound to trigger a quarrel.
Hussain said that MQM formed a coalition with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PLM-N) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) thus MQM also reserves a side in the wrongdoing. He said that it was difficult to lift up the bodies of MQM workers still they raised Pakistan Zindabad slogans on way to graveyards.
On the other hand, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Fazlur Rehman said that there is no option but the use of force for the rule of law and order and that they would stand by the government and the country leadership with whatever decision they make. They would support the government’s decision to establish army courts for civilians’ trials, Rehman added.
