THE POLICIES OF THE ESTABLISHMENT ARE CREATING RIFT BETWEEN PROVINCES – ALTAF HUSSAIN

Karachi – 2nd September 2002

Mr. Altaf Hussain, founder and leader of MQM paid tribute to all the office bearers and workers of different departments of the MQM for their efforts in the election campaign, while talking to the members of coordination committee.  In response to a question raised by one of the members of the coordination committee regarding the rejection of the nomination paper of Ms. Benazir Bhutto, Chairperson of Pakistan People Party, Mr. Altaf Hussain pointed out that in law there is no discrimination.  But the policy decisions made by the establishment demonstrate that there are separate rules for the leaders of Punjab as compared to those of Sindh.  Such policies would create a rift between the provinces, which is not in the interest of the country at large.
