MQM protests against Pakistan outside UN?
Marvi Memon demands immediate apology, Rehan Hashmi says such actions got nothing to do with party
LAHORE: (Dunya News, Web Desk) – Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) workers protested outside United Nations (UN) during the UN General Assembly (UNGA) session and demanded freedom from army and the country as well. Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) leader Marvi Memon demanded immediate apology over the action and said that she was shocked to watch the video.
Airing the video on his show ‘On the Front’ on Dunya News, Kamran Shahid asked MQM leader Rehan Hashmi about MQM’s policy over the slogans raised in the video. Though he denied the video at first, Hashmi later admitted that the protest and the slogans raised in the video were completely unjustified and said that it had nothing to do with MQM’s policy.
The video shows protesters lined up outside UN building and one of the protesters raising slogans, demanding ‘freedom’ from ‘generals’, ‘colonels’ and even the ‘country’.
Condemning the video and the slogans aired in the video, Marvi Memon said that she was shocked to see the video. She said that Rehan Hashmi could in no way defend such an act. Later, Rehan Hashmi also said that MQM had nothing to do with this video and the party fully supported Pakistan army and the government’s policy over Kashmir.
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Ali Muhammad Khan responded to the video saying that the protester raising the slogans seemed to him to be an Indian agent. He said that Rehan Hashmi should never defend such an action, which was no less than treason. Rehan Hashmi responded, saying that he condemned the video.
