Altaf says may don army uniform, if needed


Staff Report

KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain said he would return to Pakistan, if needed, clad in military uniform, to save people from feudal lords, dacoits, and capitalists.

In a telephonic address to the reinstated employees of the Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) at party headquarters Nine-Zero here on Monday, Altaf Hussain said revolution has become the destiny of the entire country.

‘It was unjust to render thousands of laborers jobless. This was the very reason that I directed Sindh Governor (Dr Ishratul Ibad Khan) not to flinch back on the issue, even if he has to sacrifice governorship for the purpose,’ Altaf remarked.

MQM chief urged the nation to make itself accustomed to hard work in the footsteps of Chinese people, so that it will not have to beg aid from countries called super power.

On this occasion, he said, “If I have to come back to the country with military uniform on to make country sovereign, I will not mind it.”

“The incidents of terrorism, killings and kidnapping for ransom are at their peak in Punjab where life and property of the people is no longer secure,” Altaf stressed proposing to the Army ‘to control the situation made worse by lawlessness, bad governance and rampant crimes’.

If Punjab’s government is unable to deliver, then the federal government should rise up to give relief to people by imposing martial law in the province, he added.

Altaf Hussain said public gathering being held on January 30, will get together all ethnic units of Pakistan under one flag, stressing the rulings by judiciary are appreciable; however, they are not being put into action.
