THE COMING TIME BELONGS TO MQM

THE COMING TIME BELONGS TO MQM: ALTAF HUSSAIN

WE SHOULD NOT FOIST RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RELEASE OF RAYMOND DAVIS ON ISI, JUDICIARY AND GOVERNEMNT

KARACHI: 17^TH MARCH 2011

The Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement Mr Altaf Hussain has said that the responsibility for releasing the American spy Raymond Davis rests with the Punjab Government because Raymond Davis killed Pakistanis in Lahore and hence the prosecution belonged to the Punjab Government. He said that if Raymond Davis could be released under the Sharia law of Diyat by paying blood money and the court orders then the US Government should pay the blood money to the family members of the people killed in the drone strikes in North Waziristan. He was addressing a large number of MQM workers who had gathered in Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Sukkur, Nawab Shah, Tando Allahyar, Sanghar, and Jamshoro for renewing their pledge on the 27^th Foundation Day of MQM.

Mr Altaf Hussain said that the MQM was founded on the 18^th March and the sum of 1 and 8 is 9 which is the largest number in numerology. He said that the MQM will emerge as the largest political party in the coming days as today is the 27^th Foundation Day and the sum of 2 and 7 is also 9.

Referring to Dr Aafia Siddiqui Mr Altaf Hussain said that she did not murder anyone but if the US Government needs blood money under the law of Diyat for her release then the 180 million people of Pakistan would contribute whatever they can and give 180 million rupees for the her release.

Mr Altaf Hussain said that the ruling party of the Punjab levels criticism at me as to why I live out of the country. He said that he has never said anything to discredit the national honour and self-esteem of the country but whether it is the issue of Raymond Davis or any other important issue the rulers of the Punjab always flee the country in order to elude their responsibility.

Mr Altaf Hussain asked why the responsible people in the Punjab Government did not lead the case to effective conclusion. He asked why the Chief Minister of the Punjab left the country for meeting his elder brother the very day the case was decided.

Mr Altaf Hussain said that is the responsibility of every Pakistani to think deeply as to why our rulers are weak and subservient to the US Government instead of foisting the responsibility for the release of Raymond Davis on the ISI, the Judiciary and the Government. He said that the government is weak because we have been voting for these rulers time and again. He said that every Pakistani must decide about voting for the MQM instead of bringing to power the tested politicians.

He said that the United States should take heed that that the time those who have been returning to power by the game of musical chairs is coming to an end and the coming time belonged to the honourable Pakistanis of unimpeachable integrity. He paid homage to the martyrs and prayed Allah to give courage and determination to MQM workers.
