PTI submits resolution against MQM chief Altaf Hussain
The resolution against MQM chief was submitted by opposition leader in Punjab Assembly.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) has submitted a condemnation resolution in Punjab Assembly against the latest statement of MQM chief Altaf Hussain over formation of new provinces and partition in Pakistan.
The resolution was submitted by opposition leader Mahmoordur Rehman in Punjab Assembly secretariat in Lahore on Monday.
In its resolution, PTI stated that no one will be allowed to hatch conspiracies against Pakistan, adding that the recent address of Altaf Hussain was the beginning of a conspiracy against the country.
The petition stated that the house strongly condemns the statement of Altaf Hussain over formation of new provinces and partition of the country.
Addressing a party gathering at Aladin Park here on Sunday, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain proposed the formation of Sindh 1 for the populace considered as Sindhi by PPP and Sindh 2 for rest of the province where people belonging to other ethnicities reside.
Altaf Hussain lashed out on opponents saying he will ‘expose’ them.
"Some opponents celebrated and distributed sweets when operation against MQM began in 1992. We have multiplied in number ever since. If we were revengeful, we could have kicked them today, but they are aware that MQM is forgiving and not revengeful so they are not worried" he added as reported by Dunya News.
Insisting he didn’t talk of the division of Sindh, Altaf Hussain said: “Two days earlier, I said in Hyderabad, if Sindh’s urban population aren’t accepted by PPP as equal citizens and aren’t given rights, then in this condition, they deserve to live with dignity, so it’s better to make a new province for such populace. I never said divide Sindh. Sindh is motherland and on one divides mother. If you cannot see Sindh with unity then let Sindh be Sindh. Make Sindh 1 for those who are considered Sindhi by PPP and Sindh 2 for those whom PPP doesn’t regard as Sindhis. This way Sindh will not break. No one desired to break Sindh. Urban populace of Sindh is ready to become Sindh 2, you be Sindh 1, we both will work for the welfare of Sindh and then the world will decide which part of Sindh progresses more.”
Altaf Hussain said the non-Sindhi-speaking populace of Sindh province is being oppressed. Warning of consequences, he said, “Before I proceed, look at the participation in the rally, also notice the number of participants in the rally and then divide it as per merit; this isn’t something new, it has been happening since beginning that those who are not given their rights as per their number honestly, feel frustrated and oppressed; and then they turn to protest which escalates things to the extent of bloodshed after which matters still have to be resolved on table. I say resolve the matter before it comes to that because the blood of both rich and poor is precious.” he added.
“The consequences of silencing voices result in physical struggle which results in hurting further. So don’t do the unthinkable, is there any force in the world that can oppress this number of people?” MQM chief said.
