The Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) will hold a public referendum after Eid-ul-Azha and the public would be asked if they wanted the Quaid-i-Azam’s Pakistan or a Taliban’s Pakistan. The decision to hold the referendum has been taken by the Co-ordination Committee of the MQM keeping in view the current situation of the country and the statements and views of Mr Altaf Hussain, the founder and leader of the MQM...

Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has blamed Pakistan’s military establishment for killings in Balochistan and questioned why the Supreme Court had not taken any action against it. He has also alleged that elements of the establishment support killings in Karachi. The party chief offered his point of view on militancy and the future of Pakistan in an interview on Samaa TV on Wednesday night.

Conversation at the Lahore zone office with the people who have recently joined the MQM
The Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr Altaf Hussain has said that the MQM wants to the bring the revolution of poor-and-middle class leadership in the country in order to weed out corruption, nepotism, bribery and to establish a system based on justice and equality. He said this while talking on the telephone to the people in the Lahore zone office, who have recently joined the MQM.
Mr Hussain that Pakistan was passing through a critical phase, and the security and integrity of the country was threatened. He said that the MQM was trying to save Pakistan in these difficult times where a group was trying to disintegrate Pakistan.

The Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr Altaf Hussain has deplored the ruthless killing of four people belonging to the Hazara community in Quetta by the firing of armed terrorists. He demanded the government to take severe notice of the cold-blooded killings and bring the perpetrators swiftly to justice. He extended sympathies to the grieving families of the people killed in Quetta and prayed Allah to rest the departed souls in eternal peace.

The MQM is the only party with presence in both parliament and the Sindh Assembly that has a clear stance on the question of confronting terrorism by taking on its indisputable exponent, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). This is remarkable because the three ‘liberal’ parties — the PPP, the MQM and the ANP — are directly in the crosshairs of the terrorists and will be hard put to conduct their electoral campaigns in the coming days in preparation for the 2013 general elections.
