LONDON. June 22, 2017: Muttahidda
Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) Pakistan Coordination Committee Convener Mr. Nadeem
Nusrat called on United States senior leader Senator Mr. John McCain in
Washington D.C. The meeting was held on
the occasion of First Common Wealth Annual Leadership Dinner, which was hosted
by Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy. U. S. Congressmen, Diplomats,
Policy-making Think Tanks, NGOs, Editors, Eminent businessmen and tradesmen of
the U. S., and eminent people from different walks of life attended the Dinner.
Senator McCain and U. S. Under Secretary
of State Ms. Paula Dobriansky were special guests at the Dinner.
MQM Coordination Committee
Convener Nusrat was invited to attend the Dinner.
Senator Mr. McCain belongs to the
Republican Party and he had contested U. S. Presidential Elections in 2008 for
President opposite to Mr. Barac Obama. Senator Mr. McCain also heads the U. S.
Armed Services Committee of the Senate as Chairman. He is very active on
matters and policies that pertain to Afghanistan and Pakistan and had also
often visited Pakistan.
In his meeting with Senator Mr. McCain,
the Convener Mr. Nusrat apprised him of ongoing military operation against MQM
in Pakistan and also discussed about other matters.
Mr. Nusrat told Senator Mr. McCain
that MQM is a liberal and progressive political party but is passing through
very harsh and deadliest military operation. MQM has unlawfully been restricted
to carry its political and charity activities in Pakistan by the establishment.
MQM founder leader Mr. Altaf Hussain has also been placed under unlawful ban
and his messages and pictures are banned in Pakistani media. Violations of
human rights of Balouchs and Mohajirs are rampant and widespread in Pakistan.
He also told Senator Mr. McCain
that the U. S. assists Pakistan with military and fiscal aides while Pakistani
security forces are overtly patronising the banned extremist and terrorist
organisations. Henceforth, the U. S. should review its policies towards
Pakistan and should play its vibrant role for the prevention of genocide of
Balouchs and Mohajirs.
He also expressed his reservations
on China Pakistan Economic Corridor – CPEC –with regard to its hostile effects
on Balouchs and Mohajirs.
Senator Mr. McCain told MQM
Convener that it is an undeniable fact that the civil government in Pakistan is
very weal and it is a sheer of display that Pakistan is ruled by the civilians.
“Real power in Pakistan is with Pakistan’s
army and its security agencies”, said Senator Mr. McCann.
Senator Mr. McCain said that U.
S. has deep concerns on nexus between Pakistan Army, its security agencies and
Haqqani Network because U. S. bilateral relations won’t pullout from harsh to comfortable
position unless and until Pakistan Army and its security agencies bring an end
to support and patronisation to Haqqani Network.
He further said that the Trump
Administration is reviewing the policy on Pakistan and Afghanistan and this
could be a decisive point for Pakistan.
Senator Mr. McCain also presented
a copy of his book to MQM Convener.
