LAHORE:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday submitted a resolution in the Punjab Assembly Secretariat against Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain over his anti-state comments.
“Altaf Hussain is continuously issuing statements against the state and the Pakistan Army,” the resolution said. “The MQM leader is openly inviting Indian, Nato and United Nation’s forces to intervene into the internal matters of the country.”

The resolution demanded the government of Pakistan to declare Altaf a ‘traitor’ and bring him back to the country through Interpol.
Further, the resolution urged that a treason case should be registered against Altaf in accordance with Article 6 as the MQM chief had breached the Constitution of Pakistan during his speeches.
The resolution paid tribute to the Pakistan Army, Rangers and other security institutions for their efforts in eliminating terrorism and bringing peace back to the country.
PTI’s resolution comes after the MQM chief called on party activists to petition the United Nations and Nato to send forces to Karachi to ascertain the ‘real facts’ about the killing of ‘Mohajirs’ in the metropolis. In his address, Altaf had alleged that ‘biased elements’ in Pakistan’s establishment have decided to “eliminate Mohajir youths who are demanding their due rights”.

On Sunday, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar told reporters that the government has decided to file a legal reference with London police against Altaf, who appealed to India and Nato forces for help and criticised the security establishment in a provocative speech late Saturday. “A legal reference will be filed with the UK government and Metropolitan Police in the coming days,” the interior minister had said.
This is not the first time Imran Khan’s PTI has submitted a resolution against the MQM party head. In the last couple of months, PTI has tabled several condemnation resolutions against Altaf in the provincial assemblies of Sindh and Punjab while the party also submitted a resolution against Altaf in the National Assembly’s secretariat in May.
