MQM announces fundamental changes in the
organisational structure of it. MQM founder and leader ALTAF Hussain approves
Karachi. January 17, 2016: In order to
align MQM with the new local government system, to develop the movement on
modern lines and to improve organisational efficiency, it has promulgated and
enforced basic important changes in the structure of MQM, according to which
now MQM units (public dealing offices) will be called "UCS" while
sectors will be called "Towns".
According to the announcement, unit
in-charges will now be called UC in-charges and sector in-charges will be
called town in-charges.
These changes were announced by Mr Altaf
Hussain, the founder and leader of MQM, while addressing the general workers'
meeting held at Lal Qila Ground, Azizabad today.
Workers of all sectors and units of MQM,
officials, workers belonging to organisational wings and departments, elders,
women, newly elected local representatives of MQM, senators and members of
National and Provincial Assembly and Coordination Committee members
participated in the meeting.
While announcing the changes in the
organisational structure Mr Altaf Hussain said that the coordination committee
of Pakistan and London held joint meetings for several days. In these meetings,
it was considered in detail that the basic organisational units that were
created in Karachi in the early days of the movement were those of that time. The
benefit of this compatibility was that the unit officials and municipal
councilors continued to work together and serve the people of the unit.
However, with the change in the new local government system, the constituencies
have also changed and now these units are called UC (Union Council). In terms of area, these units correspond
neither to the old local government units nor to our organisational units. Due
to which the problem has arisen that some of the systems include more than one
organisational unit. Some UCs have only one unit, some have two units, and some
UCs have two and a half or three units.
Organisational problems are being faced due to the change in local
government system constituencies. There is also a problem with which unit the
UC councilor should work together and if a councilor is not serving the people
properly, from which unit to ask for an answer.
So, in the light of this situation,
after detailed discussions and deliberations, it has now been decided that MQM
should be adapted to the new local government system, to develop the movement
on modern lines, and to improve organisational performance, to change the
organisational structure and to change the organizational structure that is
compatible with the old local government system. The units should now be formed
on the basis of new UCs. Regarding the organisational structure, various
decisions have been taken in the coordination committee meeting according to which;
(1) Now Karachi will have units based on
USCs.
(2) Now "Units" in the new organisational
structure would be called "UCs".
(3) “Unit In-charges”. now ...
shall be called "UC Organisers".
(4) “Unit Committee” shall now be called
“Union Organising Committee”.
In the new organisational structure, the
organisational structure of the sectors is also being changed and the organisational
structure of the sectors is being changed according to the system of the town
of Karachi. therefore,
(5) "Sectors" in the new organisational
structure will be called "Town".
(6) “Sector In-charges” will now be called
"Town Organisers".
(7) "Sector Committee" will now be
called "Town Organising Committee".
(8) There are currently 26 sectors of MQM in
Karachi, under the new organisational ststructure. These 26 sectors will now be
called 26 towns.
(9) The organisational matters of these 26
towns will be looked after by the “Central Executive Council”.
(10) To supervise the organisational affairs
of the town, the work will be divided among the members of the Central
Executive Council at the district level of Karachi.
That is, the committees consisting of the
members of the Central Executive Council will look after the organisational
matters of the towns in their respective districts.
(11) Re-organisation of Union Organising
Committees and Town Organising Committees shall be done by the Central
Executive Council. These re-organisations shall be done with the approval of
the Central Coordination Committee. The Central Executive Council shall be answerable
to the Central Coordination Committee.
(12) The tenure of Union Organising Committees
and Town Organising Committees shall be two years. New committees will be
formed every two years.
(13) Re-organisation of other organisational
departments such as Women's Department and Labour Division etc, will also be
completed as soon as possible. The tenure of the committees of the organisational
departments will also be two years.
(14) These changes in the organisational
structure will be applicable only in Karachi at present.
Founder and leader of MQM Altaf Hussain has confirmed these decisions taken by
the coordination committee.
Altaf Hussain has instructed the members of the Coordination Committee and the
Central Executive Council that in the light of these changes in the organisational
structure, the necessary changes in the previous units and the formation of the
committees of the UCS should be completed as soon as possible.
