Altaf sees France-like revolution in Pakistan
Updated at: 1715 PST, Saturday, December 25, 2010
BHIT SHAH: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain Saturday said the way to revolution like that of France, could not be stopped in Pakistan.
Addressing a large gathering here by telephone, the MQM chief said the future of people speaking Sindhi and Urdu languages, is tied to Sindh province, adding his party MQM has become the heartbeat of all deprived people across the country including Sindhis.
The MQM chief continued the party message has permeated throughout the country, stressing the resources of provinces are the right of people living there.
The message of Shah Latif (RA) was peace; but, there are some elements who are pedaling stories regarding Sindh partition, attempting to spur ethnic clashes, Muttahida leader said maintaining Sindhs sons could not pitted against each others.
It is being echoed that Sindhi-Mohajir clash will entail in the event MQM quits coalition government. Should we tread this path? he queried remarking the people of Pakistan are starving and jobless; in contradiction, feudal lords, waderas and landlords have washed villages away in floods.
Despot landlords and capitalists are ruling the roost in the country with Sindhi people buckling under juggernaut of injustice, Muttahida chief remarked.
Commenting on Reformed General Sales Tax (RGST); he said the government is planning to impose it; but, addressing the government, he said Sindhi people have spurned the RGST.
He added the people of Pakistan rejected RGST, demanding the government to impose agriculture tax on landlords, instead.
He also demanded the US government to set Aafia Siddiqui free.
