Altaf Hussain calls for return of nazims
MQM called on the government to restore the local government system for a term of one to two years.
KARACHI:
MQM chief Altaf Hussain on Wednesday called on the government to restore local government system for a term of one to two years.
Altaf Hussain was addressing a meeting of the MQM leaders at the party head quarters, Nine Zero, in Karachi. He said the country is passing through a tough time while politicians are busy wasting time with photo sessions.
Altaf said most parliamentarians have still not visited their constituencies that remain submerged by floods.
The MQM chief demanded the government to restore all the Nazims saying they are the only ones who worked for the people's welfare.
The local bodies were dissolved in February, 2009 to be replaced by administrators across Pakistan. The federal and provincial governments had announced that an amended local bodies act will be passed.
According to a previous report, most political parties believe flood relief effort would have been far more effective and efficient if the local government system headed by nazims was still in place.
