Altaf Hussain Voices Full Support for Pashtun National Jirga Resolutions

LONDON. [UK]. October 15: Founder of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Altaf Hussain, has expressed his full support for the resolutions and demands put forth during the three-day Pashtun National Jirga organised by the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) on October 11 in Khyber Agency.

In a statement delivered via a TikTok Study Circle on October 15, Hussain urged the federal government, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial government, military leadership, and all relevant authorities to ensure the implementation of the resolutions passed by Pashtun leaders and elders during the Jirga.

Congratulating PTM leader Manzoor Pashteen, as well as all PTM leaders, workers, and the Pashtun community for the success of the event, Hussain lauded their resilience and perseverance. “I commend the brave and honourable workers of PTM, along with the Pashtun elders, youth, and leaders who, despite restrictions, obstacles, and even firing from security forces, stood firm and compelled the government and establishment to bend to their will,” he said.

Hussain emphasised his unconditional support for the resolutions passed at the Pashtun National Peace Jirga and pledged to assist in their implementation.

He also extended his gratitude to PTM leadership for inviting Anwar Khan Tareen, a member of MQM’s provincial committee, to participate in the Jirga alongside other Pashtun workers.

Their inclusion in consultations and the formation of a committee to oversee the implementation of the resolutions, which includes Tareen, was deeply appreciated by Hussain.

In his address, Hussain assured PTM leadership that MQM’s Pashtun workers would stand in solidarity with the movement whenever they face oppression.

He also called for the establishment of a memorial to honour the martyrs and those injured due to security forces’ firing during the Jirga.

"A memorial should be built in Khyber Agency, in the same field where Pashtun martyrs sacrificed their lives, and it should be named the 'Memorial of the Martyrs of the Pashtun National Peace Jirga,'" he suggested.

Concluding his statement, Hussain expressed his deep appreciation for the participation of Anwar Khan Tareen, Dr Salman Bukhari, and other Pashtun workers who helped deliver the movement’s message during the Jirga.
