Altaf advises critics to follow legal course

Altaf Hussain says anyone who has objections to the appointment of the new NAB chairman should follow legal course.

KARACHI: Chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Altaf Hussain has said that if anyone has objections to the appointment of Deedar Hussain Shah as the new NAB chairman, he should follow the legal course.

Addressing a ceremony of the Khidmat-i-Khalq Foundation (KKF) by telephone from London, Hussain said a revolution was knocking on Pakistan’s doors. “Millions of flood victims are starving while political and religious parties are busy in blame games on TV talk shows and debates on political change in the country,” he said.  Hussain added that the MQM has focused only on providing maximum relief to hundreds of thousands of flood victims.

He said the MQM is a political party that has its own manifesto, ideology and political philosophy and wants reforms in every sector in the country. He said the MQM has been serving the people for the last 32 years.

Hussain said that his party is the only political party in the country which launched elaborate relief and rescue activities in all parts of Pakistan to help the flood victims. He said the worst floods in the nation’s history left millions of people homeless, devastated thousands of residential units and swept away a large number of villages.

Hussain said that they would establish an honest and merit-oriented system in the country to provide all facilities to people without any discrimination.
