Streets should immediately be opened: Altaf Hussian
 Posted on: 8/10/2014
The founder and leader of Muttahida Quami Movement Mr. Altaf Hussain has appealed to the provincial and federal governments to immediately remove the fences from the streets of Lahore and eased the city dwellers.
In an interview, MQM Chief said that the news from Lahore and other parts of the province were painful that all the ways leading to Lahore had been blocked even the ambulances were not allowed to enter into the city. He said patients especially the pregnant women suffered in traffic jam and unable to reach hospitals in time.
He appealed to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif, federal and provincial governments to remove all the fences which really troubled the lives of the people in Lahore and its suburbs. He said that if those fences were installed for security purpose then police and other security agencies should be engaged to beef up security measures and it was not the solution to close the entire city.
Altaf Hussain said to the government not to stop people participating in Yaum-e-Shuhda because they would recite holy Quran for the departed souls’ of Shuhda. He said that 14th august is the Independence Day for the entire nation not only for any political party and appealed not to turn the day of oppression and atrocities.
