Lahore – 1^st September 2010 

The founder and leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr. Altaf Hussain said that a revolution of the lower and middle class is knocking on the door of Pakistan, and the opposition can try as much as they want, the revolution cannot be stopped. He expressed this during the telephonic conversation with volunteers, students, artists, and journalists at the relief camp set up at Liberty Chowk, Lahore. Mr. Altaf Hussain said that since the past 63 years the lower and middle class were treated very poorly but now the awareness is coming and with this idea of a revolution the feudal lords and corrupt politicians have lost control, and thus are accusing MQM for nothing as they are afraid of that due to this revolution elite class will loose everything. 
He asked his followers to keep on their struggle inspite of their opposition. The opposition can try as much as they want, the revolution cannot be stopped. MQM’s revolution is coming closer day by day and by Allah’s will the day is not far when according to the late Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s desire “ All crowns will be dropped and the leaders thrown off guard” whereby everyone will be held accountable for their deeds, and the poor will be treated the same way the rich, The days of big land owners, the feudals and the corrupt people are over and now every Pakistani has reached to the conclusion that to save Pakistan we have to bring revolution likewise French revolution.  

He also said that by Allah’s will, MQM will bring about Pakistan Revolution just like the French Revolution and the corrupt and the feudals who oppressed the poor peasants would be hanged in the Liberty Chowk in Lahore. Whether its about corrupt generals or politicians, everyone will be held accountable for their deeds, their properties will be sold off, their houses converted into schools and hospitals, the country will be ruled by the middle class and just like French revolution, revolution of Pakistan will also be remembered in the history. He said young people specially the students from Punjab are joining the MQM bandwagon rapidly, and this has converted my hope into belief that nobody can stop revolution. He said that he does not want anything for himself but is only working for the people of the country. Then the world will see for itself that whoever said that Altaf Hussain was a terrorist, the same Altaf Hussain will create the same Pakistan that Qauid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Liaquat Ali Khan and poet of the subcontinent Allama Iqbal ever dreamt of. We will not only save Pakistan but also abolish the old feudal system. He said that the country should unite against the leaders and feudals who in order to save their own properties destroyed the banks of the rivers and allowed the country to get flooded, destroying the properties of the poor farmers and workers. He said that not only Lahore, but the entire Pakistan understands MQM’s message and the rate at which several youngsters, elderly, women, students, politicians, journalists, writers, poets, scholars, artists, lawyers, doctors, merchants are joining the MQM bandwagon, I salute them. He also thanked the people working for the aid of the flood victims. He also said that it’s his desire that we would be able to provide the flood victimized children with new clothes before Eid-ul-Fitr, and while saying this, his eyes were wet. Mr. Altaf Hussain praised the work of the volunteers working at the relief camps, and said that they are doing such a great work, for which Allah will give them reward.
