LONDON: 20TH DECEMBER 2010:
The Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr Altaf Hussain called Leader of Jamaat-e-Islami Mr Syed Munawer Hassan and Opposition Leader in the Senate Mr Wasim Sajjad over the telephone. Mr. Altaf Hussain discussed with them the political situation, important public issues and internal and external threats facing the country. He emphasized on coming together of all political and religious parties on a platform in order to steer the country out of present crises.
Talking to Mr Wasim Sajjad, Mr Hussain said that corruption had taken the form of a running sore in every department of the country and the economic condition was explosive. He said that the Almighty had endowed the country with oil, gas, coal and other natural resources that must be exploited in order to bring progress and prosperity in the country. He said that MQM had taken a principled stance on the issue of RGST because “MQM being a representative party of poor and middle class feels itself accountable before its voters and hence it cannot endorse RGST under any condition”. Agreeing with Mr Hussain, Mr Sajjad proposed an All-parties Conference for bringing the country out of present crises.
While talking to Mr Munawer Hassan he said that MQM wanted to free the country from the benevolence and largesse of foreign powers. He appreciated the stand of Jamaat-e-Islami on RGST and foreign intrusion in the affairs of the country and said that all political parties should prefer national honour and dignity above anything else. Mr Munawer Hassan hailed the thoughts of Mr Altaf Hussain as positive and stressed upon harmony between political parties with reference to aims and objectives. He said that a better line of action can be found for the welfare and security of the country if all political forces in the country are taken in confidence.
