MQM IS NOT DOMINATED BY ANY PARTICULAR FAMILY AND DECISIONS ARE TAKEN PURELY ON MERIT

Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr Altaf Hussain has said that the MQM had struggled for many years in the streets, and it had not emerged on the scene overnight. The MQM sent youths of the poor and middle class from the streets in the assemblies, and it was now the last ray of hope for the common people of the country throughout Pakistan. He was talking on the telephone to the office-bearers and workers who had joined the MQM by leaving the ANP. Mr Hussain welcomed everyone in the MQM and termed it a good sign.

Mr Hussain said that the culture of family and dynastic politics was firmly established in all other parties, and every party was known by a particular family. The organizational structure and politics of the MQM were completely different from these parties. There was no domination of a particular family in the MQM and decisions about party offices and award of election tickets were made purely on merit as against other parties where family ties and financial position played a decisive role.

Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr Altaf Hussain has said that he was extremely sorrowful on the indictment of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in the contempt of court case. Commenting on the situation developing in the country Mr Hussain said, “I am very disappointed at what has happened today.” Mr Hussain said that he had been saying continually that the institutions must show respect and dignity for each other and avoid confrontation under all conditions. Now that the prime minister has been formally indicted, the government should show deference to the court proceeding by displaying patience and firmness. Any hasty action that reflecting emotional response must be avoided as the country could not afford the confrontation among institutions in the present times...Urdu News
