MQM's rally 'last nail in coffin' of nationalists: Altaf Hussain
MQM doesn’t want a 'certificate' of being a Sindhi from anyone, Sattar tells the gathering.
SUKKUR/KARACHI:
Muttahida Qaumi Movement Chief Altaf Hussain on Friday said that his party’s massive gathering in Sukkur was the last nail in the coffin of nationalists spreading hatred amongst the people of Sindh.
Calling himself the son of the soil and hailing Sindh as his mother, Hussain said that the people gathered at the rally today have rejected hatred by coming here.
“The political manipulation has ended and the Mohajirs and Sindhis are standing here like an unbreakable steel wall,” Hussain said.
The MQM chief also said that Sindh’s contribution to the national revenue is about 70 per cent, which is more than any other province.
“If Sindh is given its due share of wealth, then it can prosper and will end the feudal system,” he added.
Division of Sindh an 'unforgivable sin': Sattar
With fingers raised at MQM’s Twentieth Amendment Bill, calling for the creation of Southern Punjab and Hazara provinces, MQM’s Farooq Sattar said that his party deemed the division of Sindh an "unforgivable sin".
Sattar, speaking at a rally, snubbed the Sindh Assembly's earlier opposition which called MQM’s Twentieth Amendment Bill a “furtive action” and said that it was meant to divide the province and carve out another province where MQM would control everything.
He said that the MQM does not want a “certificate” of being a Sindhi from anyone.
Sattar said that Sindh had played a vital role in the creation of Pakistan. “Had Pakistan Resolution not been passed from the Sindh Assembly, Pakistan would not have been created. Pakistan has survived on the basis of the resolution passed by the Sindh Assembly and the sacrifices made by the people of Sindh.”
He said that Pakistan can only prosper if Sindh prospers. “Sindh is the engine of Pakistan’s success.”
“Altaf Hussain does what he says,” he said. “We changed the map of Karachi with the little authority we were given. We changed the map of Hyderabad too. If we are given a chance to improve the condition of Sindh, we will change the map of Sindh.”
He said, “MQM has knocked out the whole team of feudals and the so-called nationalists with a single ball.”
“MQM is the last train for the prosperity of Sindh, if you miss this train, there will be no train coming after,” Sattar said.
