KARACHI:


In a hard-hitting address on Tuesday, MQM chief Altaf Hussain levelled some pointed accusations against the government.


He alleged that the government was plotting against the country’s armed forces, the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and institutions responsible for national security, in collusion with the United States.

He said this while addressing a joint session of the MQM coordination committees in Karachi and in London.

Speaking about national security, national self-esteem, conspiracies against institutions responsible for the national security, mounting US pressure on Pakistan and the government’s conspiratorial attitude, the MQM chief said that the current regime was contriving against its political opponents, particularly the MQM.

“The government has been conspiring against the armed forces of the country, the ISI and institutions responsible for national security. The government’s conspiracies against the institutions responsible for national security are tantamount to harming the integrity and sovereignty of the country,” he said.

He said that, despite the fact that the MQM stood by the government during its difficult times, the latter had stabbed the party in the back.

Hussain said that the government had not only taken action against the people of the country, but had been resorting to dictatorial policies towards the MQM.

He said that the nation should prove with their unity that they were with the armed forces and the national security institutions.
