New province won’t weaken country: Altaf
MQM chief warns Pakistan’s elite of a brewing revolution.

KARACHI:
The government needs to pay attention to people calling for provincial status for their regions, chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Altaf Hussain said on Sunday. “The formation of Seraikistan will not weaken the country,” he said.
He was addressing a massive crowd on the occasion of the Yaume Yakjahti or the Day of Unity at the Jinnah Ground in Federal B Area, close to the party’s headquarters.
Warning the country’s elite of a “revolution in the making just like one being witnessed in Egypt”, Altaf Hussain told the feudal lords to beware of an upheaval brewing “right in front of their eyes”.
Hussain went on to urge the “men in uniform” to support the people “who will embrace them fervently if they supported them”, otherwise they would face the same fate awaiting the feudals and landowners.
“People ask me what does revolution mean? My response to them is simple: revolution is what we are seeing in this ground today (people of various ethnicities from across the country gathered under a common banner). This is a revolution in itself,” Hussain told the chanting crowd.
He said that such a large number of people “can never be gathered at gunpoint”, adding that even if his party had arms, it would not have had enough of them to “fill the ground to its capacity”.
“MQM does have arms, but its guns, rocket launchers and cannons do not kill because their ammunition is peace. We want peace and unity in the country.”
Ridiculing people who constantly talk about democracy in the country, he said the constitution of the assemblies have essentially remained unchanged since the country’s inception. “The same feudal keep occupying the assembly seats…and now their children have come to loot
Stressing the need for forging national unity, Hussain said that “this feeling has evaded us since independence”.
In his hour-long speech, Hussain dwelled on various issues, like comparing the US diplomats’ status with that of Aafia Siddiqui to minorities’ rights to a revolution against looters and the corrupt.
Highlighting the importance of merit, Hussain said that no one was above anyone else because of his skin colour, social status, cast, sect, religious beliefs or geographical area.
He urged the Urdu-speaking community to “tell Pakhtun, Baloch, Sindhi, Punjabi communities and people beolonging to minorities that they are your big brothers and you are their younger brothers”.
“The aim is to spread peace and unity and our efforts (of reaching out to all ethnicities) should be preserved and protected.”
Urging feudal landlords to mend their ways and stop torturing the poor, he said that the day “is not far when the man on the street will wring their necks”.
“People who loot and plunder will be publicly hanged,” he proclaimed.
“I did not care for landlords before, and I do not care for them now,” he said. “Beware,” he warned, “Altaf Hussain is here to bring a revolution.”
Highlighting his party’s political ambitions, he said MQM is “built upon democracy, using socialism for bricks and controlled privatisation and capitalism are its decor”.
Referring to the Lahore incident in which a US diplomat’s rampage had resulted in the death of three people, he said, Pakistan should not succumb to American pressure, adding that it should “demand respect and command equal standing”.
On the fiscal front, he said: “Spending on protocol needs to be controlled, as do ludicrous expenses made by bureaucrats, otherwise no one will be able to stop a revolution which will sweep everything away.”
Among those who addressed the gathering before Hussain spoke from London on phone was minister Nadia Gabol who addressed the crowd in Balochi. She said that while people preached of providing ‘roti, kapra and makan’, who would give the people other essential necessities like ‘gas, water and electricity’.
Deputy convenor of MQM’s Rabita Committee and MNA Dr Farooq Sattar praised the solidarity showed by youth at the Jinnah Ground and quoted a verse: “Hum dushman ko bhi pakeeza saza daitay hain. Haath uthatay nahin, nazroon se gira daitay hain.”

A Revolution Lead by a British Citizen? Recommend
hope revolution spreads to india and pakistan which r in dire need of suchRecommend
As a student of politics of Pakistan since 1967, I can foresee that Mr. Altaf Hussain’s Revolution is about to come which will be Ayatullah Khomeni like revolution of Iran.
There are number of reasons for which there are clear indications that the revolution will come overnight.
It is unfortunate that the present and the past governments have not been able to solve the problems of a common man of Pakistan who has all the power to change.
Thus slowly and gradually people of Pakistan living in the country and abroad have come under the umbrella of MQM.
People elect candidates to go in the assemblies and to sort out their problems but instead of resolving issues, political leaders have made the situation more complex that has added to the agony of a common man in the country.
The present and past rulers came in the senate, national assembly and provincial assemblies with the power of the votes of the middle and lower middle class people and not from the votes of the elite class.
Time is changing. Those who have dual nationalities will not be able to leave Pakistan. The natural death of feudalism will bring an ultimate change in Pakistan from where Pakistan will be able to go on the road of prosperity. Recommend

Nobody wants to lose their leader..

First chase the person out of country by trying to kill him then say He is not a pakistani citizen!!
Rubbish!!Recommend
Ahhh..he is at it again. So what would it be ?? We have heard of Green revolution, Tulip revolution..now a remote revolution may be ??Recommend
I wish some can bring revolution to this country but who??????????Recommend
How long we have to wait Altaf Bhai? Your party is an important partner in federal and in one provincial government, and your friends in province and central government cannot recite a word without your approval. Another great revolutionary of present times, Mr. Shahbaz Sharif controls sixty percent of the country and above all, grand mother of all revoultions and oppressive classes is priting daily billions of currency notes to speed up revolution. Everything is in your favour sir, so why wait, lets move.
Bottom line, Extremists have hijacked our religion and liberals have hijacked revolution.Recommend
@mateen
if the revolution comes from altaf call than it will start from karachi and than spread over .but this will not happen as the ppl of karachi know that mqm could not finish street crimes and target killling ……..what kind of revolution will they lead ….they will not risk their lives and businesses for a british citizen who is not in the country himself……..
what i believe is that his revolution will start from his home 2 trafalgar square in uk and will end there onlyRecommend
For those who still thinks about how a leader in exile can bring Revolution needs some General knowledge as they don’t know what is revolution and who are the people who bring it.

Altaf Hussain is all talk and no walk. The revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia started and were lead from within the countries and not from England. Secondly, how I dont understand how someone who is clearly scared of being hurt, killed, or put in jail, can lead a revolution. Altaf should come back and face the music first, its not fair that MQM workers can die left and right. revolutions take a lot of guts Recommend
Will he lead the revolution by phone? what if he suffers a drop in the signal?the revolution was on its peak but then Altaf Hussain’s credit was low which resulted in chaos.. Recommend
Yeah, Pakistan do need a Revolution, but not that of so called PPP’s Democratic Versio n of Governance, not that of Altaf Hussain’s call for the Martial Law, not that of defined by the Politics players of Elite Class…
we need the one triggered and driven by the common, moderate and middle working class pakistani, which will ultimately boot out all of teh above sections from ruling circle,Recommend
{2011} might become the year of revolution. It will bring lots of changes to this world. Meet News WorldRecommend
Revolution is only needed when the rulers strict to the power and there is no means available to people for regime change.
There is no need for revolution. Pakistan is a democratic country and the people can vote of the government every 5 years.
The only mantra the people should remember is that if your representative don’t work never elect him again and carefully choose your candidate as once elected you can’t change him/ her for next five years.
Soon you will find the more responsible, sensitive and honest leaders will take central stage and that will be the beginning of the golden era for Pakistan.Recommend

Lessons in Revolution
Mr. Altaf, Tunisia and Egypt lead a revolution against the oldest dictatorships in modern time. Do you plan to organize a revolution against a democratically elected government which your are a part of since the beginning? Isn’t that hypocrisy. Stop selling fake slogans to your followers.
@Mr.Mateen. That was the most senseless stuff i have ever read, don’t even feel like rebutting your line of arguments. Hope you learn more as time passes on.Recommend
Why does Pakistanis even pay attention to so-called ‘leaders’ who ‘lead’ by phone from UK? Recommend
@ishaq:
He is Proud Pakistani.Recommend
We are not Tunisians and Egyptians, we are Pakistanis. Those were countries ruled by dictators, whereas we are a democratic free country. Its democracy and freedom to speak that those who are in government can scare themselves and others by chanting revolution slogans and no one challenges their common sense. Good luck revolutionaries, it will be quite a scene, when revolutionaries will be hanging other revolutionaries.Recommend
Pakistan’s only hope is get rid of US puppets and kick the Americans out who are source of much of the regions misery. US/Zionist insidious agenda in the region is falling apart.Recommend
Revolution by a Juggler urging people to stand up and fight for their rights !!! I feel sorry for those who think ALTAF BHAI as a leader. How Innocent we are !!! We can’t even differentiate between right and wrong.Recommend
I don’t why the people of my country is that much scattered as even we can’t support the good though?? Why?? all the guys are giving some foolish rebuttals but in reality we all need the revolution & this is good if somebody is raising his hands for the revolution for the sake of nation… guys we need to change ourselves to have a change & at least Altaf Hussain is asking nation to stand up but unfortunately our feudal & corrupt politicians already divided us in different nations, languages, casts & sects for their own benefits & that’s why you guys are questioning but not answering LABBAIK only because V R not one nation :(
Altaf hussain is asking you the nation to take the charge, he is asking to empower the nation which is very necessary for us just forget the bloody reasons & questions from the conservative & negative mentality & have a new way for our own rights ….
we must have to bring the revolution…….and INSHAALLAH we will bring it….as “I am ready to die to keep my country’s name & flag high”

MQM showed again that its the ONLY party in Pakistan which cares for people and have guts to speak for their rights.Recommend
Even if there is a revolution, Altaf bhai will be shot point blank the moment he arrives to pk.Recommend
MQM has sent shock waves in the corridors of power by sending people from the poor and middle class in the assemblies. They are afraid that this “contagion” may spread to other parts of the country as well and hence they are using all sorts of tactics and propaganda to create hurdle in its ways.
I see no harm in Altaf Hussain leading his party from abroad. A number of leaders have done so. Tunis is the recent example where the leader of a top opposition party returned to the country after more than 22 years.
I am sure that MQM can bring a positive change in the country and restore the real power where it belongs – the people of Pakistan.Recommend
MQM probably can’t lead the revolution, because their support lies only in Karachi and Hyderabad. They have no political standing in Punjab, KP and Balochistan and even in Sindh the PPP remains to be powerful.
For the revolution to come there needs to be national unity and that seems to be lacking, as has been seen in the recent spate of target killings.
The revolt will come, but right now there is time, and the situation will get progressively worse before it comes. In my opinion it won’t come from the political corridors it will be a peoples movement, there is no leader charismatic enough or influential enough to lead the revolt at the moment, some say Imran Khan, but his lack of diplomacy is his only downfall.
The leader will come from a very unexpected source. My opinion is that much like in Tunisia it will be the selfless act from one person that will spark the movement, and this will come from the students. The fresh graduates frustrated at the lack of oppurtunities the country provides, those who are working menial jobs to provide for their family and frustrated at their country’s lack of progress. The leader will be from amongst them.
The leader will believe in the following statement.
“There go the people, I must follow them. For, I am their leader.” Alexander RollinRecommend
Revolution does not require the leader to be present and world is full of examples where they were initiated from far away lands. In fact it is better for his/her safety, as it is eary for holders of status quo to eliminate the central figure in the budding state. Jis Khaith say moyassar naheen dehkaan to rozee, us khaith kay har khoshay gandum to Jalaa do (Iqbal). This revolution will (not) be Televised!Recommend
Our media should atleast be this much sensible to ignore Altaf Hussain completely,he has no interest in Pakistan, if he has any, he should come over and participate.. whatever he says should be completely ignored and the media should behave as if he doesnt exist.. that way i’d call our media responsible. Recommend
Great event and Message by Altaf Hussain which indeed united all the ethnicities, revolution should come against those who drowned poor farmers when flood came, against those are looting and plundering the country since decades and not transferring the advantage of Pakistan’s resources to common people of Pakistan. Those who bring peaceful changes in the society they brought it by becoming part of the system not staying away from it.Recommend
British citizen – government in federal and province – resigns – takes back – shouts – silences – shouts again – revolution?
The funny part was their ammunition being peace – now I know it was the Taliban who killed tens of thousands of innocent people in Karachi in the 90s.Recommend
Hawk Hawk hawk! The dogs do bark. some in rags some in jags some in velvet gown!!!!! They all are chalk of same block but beyond of political difference MQM is the only political party who can country a head. Everybody knows in the beginning what they did but now they have changed and can lead this country. In these days, a biggest threat to Pakistan is corruption and all the parties are corrupted excepted MQM. It is my request to all of you please support anyone if its making any act in favour of greater interest of this unfortunate nation. Keep your ideological differences away for the sovereignty of our sacred country. And please be realistic do not pass such comments that public should stand and come to roads themselves. In fact, to make it possible public needs a systematic platform for countrywide revolution. I know MQM can manage it easily and they can take public on roads but do all of you know the dire consequences.

Altaf hussain is a demagogue. He capitalizes on popular prejudices and false claims and promises to gain power. While shifting his stance from most prejudiced ethno lingual party to all in Pakistan is a trap through which Pakistanis have suffered .
No one is going to trust him. He remains an emotive dictator who gains power by championing the cause of the common people.
Pakistan is better off without him. He should remain where he belongs to. I am sure his temporary stay in Pakistan was very dreadful for the country.Recommend
@ Gulshad, i am sorry brother they are not fit to lead they were and still are a militant party which harasses its political opponents to this very day. For them to lead a revolution they will have to come clean and admit to their past till the time they do that no one outside of Karachi will support them. Recommend
I Fancy .no much of the people among us appreciate the Effort of Altaf.. but most of the commentators are passive and Negative thinkers .. No Matter ALtaf is in London but he has numerous people with him this is also called a Leadership of the Leader.. Altaf is influencing the people of this country because the sensible people can see that there is no one but Altaf who is talking the heart voice of the common man.. I Appreciate the MQM Effort and i wish the party can take control over the present Worsest and Corruptest Government ever in the world’s HistoryRecommend
I’ll leave my DEAR MOTHERLAND the day he or his party comes out as majority party. How can we forget the basis & start of this party? How can we forget the criminal activities? Need I say more???Recommend
Is it that people do not want to have this revolution or they don’t want MQM to talk about this? Why do we often compare Benazir arrival and then got killed and prove her bravery and kind of provoke Altaf Hussain to follow the trail? What would happened then? He would also be killed!! Simply MQM does not want this… the change is coming gradually and MQM is striving to bring the change by being the part of the system. After every single election, they clinch more votes and more representation in assemblies and senate.
They make sense when they speak and they are the only ones who challenge the status quo… the change can’t be stopped!Recommend
Whether one supports Altaf or opposes him, I think whatever he’s saying about more provinces is not only DOABLE, but highly DESIRABLE. We should have more than four provinces. The only opposing force against this idea is the feudalism, which ultimately fears the underlying land distribution that will come with the distribution of provinces.Recommend
@Junaid Naseer Faroqui:
Funny – so you think mqm is striving to change the system by very much being the part of it? Revolution is inevitable but it will never come under MQM or any other liberal group. Pakistan has been ruled by the liberals for 60 years (Yes Zia was a liberal too) – the revolution will only come in the name of Islam because that is where the seeds of revolution lie in Pakistan. they just do the power politics.Recommend
The definition of revolution is an uprising of the people against the government. How is it possible for MQM to bring revolution when they are already in goverment. Pointless vote gaining slogans from the so called ‘educated party’Recommend
Never before have i seen such diversity amongst people attending any jalsa! It was truly a momentous occasion.
MQM should be appreciated for at least trying to unite our broken and fractured society.Recommend
I feel sorry for all the people who are not appreciating the effort of MQM to bring the change in this lawless land………actually this negativity happens to various people because the present scenario of the country take away all the hopes of change and bettermentRecommend
Gents , pardon me , the headline was New Provinces , some of us so bitterly nearsighted in the hate-process of MQM bashing ,that we have deviated from the topic and are indulging in disparaging (sic) comments . One fellar even goes by the name Altafhater.

Kudos (with a sigh), if this is how we make a visionary aparture of sheer truth ,even if the same has been spilled by your sworn enemy , May God save us .

@Salman Orangiwala:
What is visionary in this buddy? The talk about new provinces is not an outcome of Altaf’s visionary – it is a decades old issue which comes resurfacing every now and then. Altaf’s vision or the lack of it has nothing to do with it. It is funny that no other party in Pakistan has been in the government for a longer period, yet, the MQM doe snot blame itself for being a part of this flawed corrupt system. They have supported the dictators, been partners with corrupt governments, have carried mass murder in Karachi – yet they think they can bring revolution in the name of poor and all. Get a life mate – they just do the power politics and of late they have been doing the populist one. I don’t know how old were you in the early-mid 90s – but if you were old enough you must remember the brutality that MQM showcased back then, the shades of which we still see on streets – Recommend
@ Altafhaters,
The showcase that you saw was presented by the government media, even army has admitted now that people of Karachi were killed on the behest of the government.
The Govt main intelligence made a splinter group in MQM , known as haqiqi, which to date maintains its name as Muhajir Qoumi Movement Haqiqi, and has the moral support of PMLn JI, PTI, ANP . So much for not feuling ethnic divide in Karachi.

Very well said By Mr Altaf Hussain, Now, the time is coming in Pakistan for A New Kind of Revolution which will mark a New world history Known as “Pakistan Style Revolution”. Right now there is no example of Such Revolution in the History.Recommend
Altaf Hussain is trying to play a trick on Pakistanis. It is not the first time that these people have used the name of Pakistan and Islam for self interests. The question is that why is he abandoning his racist politics. If he was wrong then, he must ask for forgiveness from Pakistanis for killing them in the name of ethnicity.
I can assure you that he is still playing ethnic politics and that is why he wants a new Province for Urdu speaking people by dividing Sind on ethnic lines. Recommend

I do read the wall – and from what I see the writing on the wall is revolution but that wont come in thee name of poverty or anti-feudalism – that will come as an Islamic revolution. And certainly MQM has nothing to do with it. And yes I do speak Urdu, but why is that only an Urdu speaker can read the wall and others cant? Isn’t it a bit racist from your side. By the way you could have also chosen a better name than confining yourself to a particular area.Recommend
@Salman Orangiwala: I think Altaf Hussain’s past is so gruesome that people from other provinces do not trust him. I think my brother Asmat Jamal has equated Indian refugees with Afghan refugees. Its a technical mistake. people are fed up with Afghan refugees in Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. They should be sent home as they are the main source of terrorism and destability. Indian Refugees should accept the province in which they were housed and raised and should not talk of its division otherwise, they will face more problems.Recommend
