Altaf slams 'corrupt politicians shopping abroad'

MQM chief says if 'patriotic Generals' take martial law-like step against corrupt politicians, MQM will support them.

KARACHI: MQM Chief Altaf Hussain has said that if 'patriotic Generals' take a martial law-like step against corrupt politicians, MQM will support them.

Addressing a general workers meeting at Lal-Qila ground in Aziz Abad on Sunday, Altaf said the country needs a revolution like France. He urged US president Obama to review his Pakistan policy and support people instead of landlords and corrupt politicians.

He said Pakistan’s foreign policy is weak as opposed to the Indian foreign policy, which he deemed effective. The MQM leader alleged that Pakistani rulers were busy in shopping abroad instead of presenting Pakistan's case, while the landlords diverted flood water towards the villages of poor people to save their own lands.
