ANNUAL KKF RELIEF PROGRAMME HELD IN JINNAH GROUND KARACHI

KARACHI: 27^TH AUGUST 2011

Deputy Convener of the Co-ordination Committee of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Dr Farooq Sattar has said that the MQM was a unique political party of the country in the sense that it has been moving ahead with its social, political, and economic services in the country. He said that feudalism and ad hocism would have to go if Pakistan has to emerge as a free and sovereign country. He was addressing at the annual relief programme of the Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation at Jinnah Ground Karachi. Managing Trustee of the KKF and member of the Co-ordination Committee Syed Mustafa Kamal also spoke on the occasion.

Dr Sattar said that the politics of the MQM revolved around the concept of serving the people. He said that Pakistan cannot make progress and attain real freedom unless the social unevenness between the rich and the poor is removed. He said that the KKF was continually increasing its workings and the progress of the KKF is spurred by the noble idea that serving the humanity is the greatest form of worship.

Speaking on the occasion Mr Mustafa Kamal said Mr Altaf Hussain looks upon politics as nothing but a means of serving the people. It was because of this that Mr Hussain started welfare work even before the establishment of the MQM. Mr Kamal said that the KKF has been actively carrying out its welfare programme throughout the year. He said that the KKF had established a hospital in Hyderabad where all modern facilities were available. He said that the MQM believed setting examples and not in words only.

The programme started at 4:35 pm with the recitation of the Holy Quran. Deputy Conveners Dr Farooq Sattar, Anis Qaimkhani and members Nasrin Jalil, Shoaib Bukhari, Wasay Jalil, Saif Yar Khan, Dr Sagheer Ahmed, Wasim Aftab, Salim Tajik, Kaiful Wara, Gulfaraz Khan Khattak, Tariq Jawed Raza Haroon, Dr Nusrat, Ashfaq Mangi, MQM leader Aamir Khan, and parliamentarians attended the programme.
