We are thankful to you for coming to attend this Press Conference on our invitation.

You know that the MQM is the only political party in Pakistan that does not take recourse to tall claims, misleading slogans and fake promises for the rights of the people belonging to poor and middle classes. The MQM believes in making practical efforts and it has been making practical efforts for their rights since the very beginning. It has been sending them in national and provincial assemblies, senate and local government institutions purely on merit by setting aside the prejudices of nationality, ethnicity, community, sect and religion. Common people could not even think about reaching these elected houses before the arrival of the MQM. 

The Co-ordination Committee of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) has welcomed the passage of a Bill by the National Assembly with unanimous vote outlawing corporal punishment to children. The committee said that the foundation stone for a bright Pakistan has been laid as no one could be allowed to inflict physical punishment to young children who have the responsibility to lead us into future. The committee commended the members of the National Assembly and the civil society who worked for the passage of the Bill to proscribe all forms of physical punishment to children.

Muttahida Qaumi Movement (US) has strongly condemned the attack and torching of the houses of Christians in Lahore’s Badami Bagh.

In a joint statement, the MQM (US) Central Organizer, Junaid Fehmi, Joint Central Organizers Mohammad Arshad Hussain and Nadeem Siddiqui as well as members of Central Organising Committee Tauseef Khan, Wasim Zaidi, Saqib Mohyuddin, Wakeel Jamali, Mohammad Zaheer, Ali Hassan, Aamir Qazi, Gul Mohammad  and Asad Siddiqui, said that the act of attacking and putting houses of Christians on fire in Badami Bagh amounted to an attack on the Ideology of Pakistan, thereby  jolting the foundation of the country.
