DETAILS OF PRESS CONFERENCE

We are thankful to you for coming to attend this Press Conference. This press conference has been called to announce the names of the members of the newly formed Central Executive Council of the MQM.

Respected Journalists

You are aware of the fact that the MQM is a popular political party that believes in national solidarity, sectarian and inter-faith harmony, dignity to humanity, and serving the people. It has been working strenuously to achieve these goals for over three decades now. The MQM is the only political party that has representation from all nationalities, religious groups and different schools of thought.

The Co-ordination Committee had announced the formation of a Central Executive Council in a press conference on 27^th March 2011 with a view to propagating the philosophy of Realism and Practicalism developed by the founder and leader of the MQM Mr Altaf Husain, and the concept of Politics for Serving the People throughout the country. Today, we are announcing the names of the members of the council.  

Members of the council hail from Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan. The representation of people from all nationalities, religious minorities, and people from different spheres of life has been ensured. The names of the members of the council are being provided to you separately.  

The council shall not only assist the co-ordination committee in structuring of party organization, policy issues, propagation of party policies and in the preparation of the party manifesto and in holding of party programmes. The council shall hold a meeting on a quarterly basis under the co-ordination committee in order to exchange views and advising the co-ordination committee on national issues. It will also play an active role in abolishing the medieval feudal system, corrupt political culture, and elimination of dynastic politics in the light of the philosophy of Mr Altaf Hussain. It will also work for creating awareness in the public for the empowerment of poor and middle-class people of the country.  

Respected Journalists

You know it very well that the MQM under the leadership of Mr Altaf Hussain has been making practical efforts to bring to an end the corrupt political and feudal system from the country that has kept the country in its menacing grip. The MQM has the distinction of having the leadership and the workers from the poor and middle class. The MQM introduced the leadership from the poor and middle class in the Senate, National Assembly, Provincial Assembly and local councils.

It is the victory of just struggle and the sagacious political outlook of Mr Altaf Hussain that even those religious and political parties are talking about elimination of corrupt feudal and political culture in the country that had been supporting this system, one way or another, in the past. The MQM is the only political party in the country that has been opposing the medieval feudal and dynastic political culture from the very beginning. Mr Altaf Hussain is the only political leader of the country without any contradiction in his sayings and actions.  

Even the bitter opponents of Mr Altaf Hussain admit that he has neither taken part in any elections nor given tickets to any of his family members. The tickets have always been given to party workers, and it was proved by strictly adhering to the principles of merit that the MQM not only believes in ideals but follows them as well.  

People of Pakistan admit that the MQM does not auction party tickets at the time of elections in return for millions of rupees. The MQM gave a chance to the educated and qualified workers to take part in the elections by awarding tickets purely on merit. The journey that began in Karachi University will reach its destiny and people having strong moral fibre will put the country on the path of progress and prosperity.

Respected Journalists

We congratulate the members of the Central Executive Council, the workers of the MQM, and the people on behalf of the Co-ordination Committee and Mr Altaf Hussain. We hope that the members of the council shall endeavour with sincerity and honesty for achieving the mission and objective of the party and for empowering the poor and middle class segment of the society.

We congratulate the workers of the MQM in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Fata, Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir from the core of our heart for remaining steadfast in the face of negative and poisonous propaganda against the MQM.

We also pray Almighty Allah to take the country out of the challenges facing the country and put it on the path of peace, progress and prosperity.
