Imran Khan takes strong exception to Altaf Hussain equating his own status to that of the Quaid e Azam
Pakistan Tehreek Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has taken strong exception to Mr. Altaf Hussains statement in a public meeting today in which he has tried to equate his status as a British subject with that of the Quaid e Azam. According to Mr. Hussain the Quaid took oath of allegiance to King George when he was sworn in as Governor General.
Mr. Imran Khan said that Mr. Altaf equating Quaid e Azams status with his own situation of being a British citizen today is a distortion of history. The oath taken by Quaid e Azam was determined by the fact that the independence of Pakistan in 1947 was not complete. Both India and Pakistan had attained quasi independence and became dominions of the British Empire. It was for this reason that the Quaid became Governor General and not President. Governor General was nominally a representative of the British monarch and this fact was reflected in the oath that was taken by both the Pakistani GG and Indian Governor General Mr. Mountbatten. By trying to draw a comparison between the situation then and the status of his being a British citizen now is a complete distortion of facts and history.
Mr. Imran Khan went on further to say that to hold leadership positions in the government or be a member of parliament, it is incumbent according to the constitution that the person should be solely a citizen of Pakistan. Further, to claim national leadership it is a mockery if vast properties of the leaders are not in Pakistan but abroad. Every time Pakistani currency devalues these leaders become richer. This is a joke with the sufferings of the people of Pakistan.
In conclusion, Mr. Khan advised Altaf Hussain not to drag the great Quaid e Azam into tawdry political debate in the country. At the very least he should not distort history to equate his situation with that of the Quaid.

Politicians are the same all over.., they can twist anything to suit themselves or the situation.
Quaid took oath of allegiance to British Crown: MQM chief
KARACHI: Defending the criticism for holding dual nationality, Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Chief, Altaf Hussain said on Thursday that if oath of allegiance "under compulsion" by the founder of nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was not considered a disloyalty to Pakistan, then why his oath of loyalty "under compulsion" was termed as unfaithfulness to the country.
"Anyone who takes up nationality in another country under asylum is his legal compulsion. But just as Jinnah's legal compulsion never cast doubts on his patriotism or loyalty to Pakistan, how can the loyalty of those become suspicious who took oaths for citizenship due to life threats at home", asked Altaf Hussain.
Firing the much awaited "political drone", the MQM founder made bombardment at its ally PPP and opposition parties including PML-N alike while expressing the resolve of his party to participate in the "million-man march" at any cost. "We tolerate the government's decisions now they should tolerate ours to be part of the long march", he said, and adding that "PPP had also held a long march."
He said PPP and other political and religious parties had held long march in past but only MQM was being criticized for participation in the long march.
Altaf said that Nawaz Sharif along with his family had lived in Saudi Arabia on diplomatic passport for a long period of time.
"The Saudi King is not my buddy (Yar) otherwise I would have got a palace in KSA in 1992 when I was facing life threats at my own country which forced me to seek asylum in UK and subsequently take oath of allegiance to the queen". Various leaders of PPP also lived abroad, he added.
MQM chief read out the oath that Mr. Jinnah had taken as the Governor General of Pakistan that said that the governor general would be a representative of the king. This, Altaf said, was Jinnah's legal compulsion at the time since that was the only law under which he could take oath.
He said his party was threatened that Governor Sindh would be removed "but we ask them if you want to remove him tomorrow, remove him today. Do you think we are hungry for power? We are hungry for rules, for justice, for helping the poor."
Altaf Hussain said every one was concerned about the annoyance of Sindhi speaking Sindhis but no one was caring what the Urdu speaking Sindhis wanted. "The Urdu speaking Sindhis don't want the division of Sindh but opposition to the local government system would force them to call for a division of Sindh", he told. Hussain added, "We have been tolerating these threats, we do not want a division of Sindh, don't push us against the wall".
Calling the local government system a "primary training school for democracy," Altaf said getting rid of such a system would be harmful to democracy in the long run.

As far as Mr Jinnah is concerned he as a Governor General was representing Queen Elizabeth II in Pakistan (like Lord Mountbatten was representative of the crown in India till January 1950). So you may call the queen a symbolic monarch, but i don't think Jinnah can be called just 'symbolic' representative of crown.
Secondly, British rule over Pakistan was more than just symbolic. One of the prime reasons for creating Pakistan itself was to keep some form of British rule in the strategically most important part of India (since they could not afford controlling entire India any more). That is probably why Pakistan's establishment was comfortable being part of British empire and didn't bother to officially become republic till as late as 1956. British rule was never an issue for Pakistani establishment, it was only about fear of 'Hindu' rule and fear of losing benefits of feudal system. Remember, Muslim league hardly ever fought for independence from British; it was only after it became clear that India will be independent soon that the efforts for creation of Pakistan began. I don't think it is just a co-incidence that for decades, Pakistan had been behaving like quasi-dominion of USA (which is kinda successor of British empire).

Like I always say, donate his brain for psychoanalysis research. The scientific community would discover the secret of mental retardation.

the chief justice will be kicking himself in the a$$ ... why did I accept Altaf's apology just two days before this monkey presented a brain fart like this.
Important: Thousands of people sat and listened to the monkey that is altaf bhai. As long as political awareness in people is at all time low, and a general lack of intelligence (IQ) is prevelant. no hope for the country.
