ALTAF HUSSAIN OFFERS HIMSELF AS PRICE FOR INDO-PAK FRIENDSHIP

 

New Delhi…. (NOVEMBER-08-2004) ---- Altaf Hussain, the founder leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) has offered his life as price for a permanent peace between India and Pakistan.

 

“Let me stand at the border, and be shot dead by Indian and Pakistani Soldiers. I am sure that the blood from my body, would demolish the wall of hostility, tension and conflicts of the last 50 Years, and in its place help erect a new and solid wall of love, affection trust and sincerity between people of India and Pakistan” he told his party’s special cell members in Karachi late Sunday night.

 

He said he had made that offer during the course of his speech at the two-day international conference that concluded in the Indian Capital on Saturday but somehow some of his remarks had gone unreported in the press.

 

A party spokesman, recalling his speech said that Mr. Hussain was the only leader to raise the question of human rights, Kashmir, Palestine, and the situation in Iraq. He told the audience that if removal of Saddam Hussain, despot and dictator was the objective, then why hundreds and thousand of innocent civilians are being massacred now that the he has been incarcerated.
