NO PLACE FOR THE CRIMINALS IN THE MQM: ALTAF HUSSAIN

MQM IS AGAINST VIOLENCE, TERRORISM AND CORRUPTION IN ALL MANIFESTATIONS

LONDON: 14TH SEPTEMBER 2011

Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr Altaf Hussain has made an unequivocal statement that there was no place for the criminal elements in the MQM. He said that the MQM is a peace-loving political party that believes in democratic principles and peaceful struggle, hence there was no room for the criminals in the MQM. He said this while talking to the members of the Co-ordination Committee of the MQM.

Mr Hussain said that the MQM was against violence, terrorism, corruption and criminal activities. MQM workers and office-bearers that were found involved in any type of criminal activity were publicly expelled from the party after thorough investigation and inquiry.

Mr Hussain said that the MQM was also a part of the society and there were good people in the society as well as bad people. He added the MQM was the only political party that purged the elements involved in criminal activities from its rank and file. He said that the MQM had expelled a number of workers and office-bearers publicly. Personal acts of any expelled workers cannot be ascribed to the party. Mr Hussain said that discipline was the hallmark of the MQM hence no leniency should be shown to anyone, even if he was a member of the Co-ordination Committee. There was no place for the criminals in the MQM yesterday, there is no place for the criminals even today and in the future
