The Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) is a unique political party of the country in the sense that it has been providing people with social, political, and economical services, the deputy convener of the party’s Rabita Committee, Dr Farooq Sattar said on Sunday. “Feudalism and ad-hocism would have to end if Pakistan has to emerge as a free and sovereign country,” he said while speaking at the annual programme of the party’s welfare body, the Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation (KKF), at the Jinnah Ground.
Dr Sattar said that the politics of the MQM revolves around the concept of serving the people. He said that Pakistan cannot make progress and attain real freedom unless the social unevenness between the rich and the poor is removed. “The KKF is continuously increasing its progress and the foundation is spurred by the noble idea that serving humanity is the greatest form of worship,” he added.
Speaking on the occasion, the managing trustee of the KKF and member of the MQM’s Rabita Committee, Mustafa Kamal said that his party chief Altaf Hussain looks upon politics as nothing but a way to serve people.
“It is because of this that the MQM chief started welfare work even before the MQM was formed,” he added.
Kamal said that the KKF has been actively carrying out its welfare programme throughout the year. He said that the KKF set up a hospital in Hyderabad where all modern facilities are available. “The MQM believes in setting examples and not uttering words only,” he said.
The programme started at 4:35pm with the recitation of the Holy Quran. Other members of the committee, Anis Qaimkhani, Nasreen Jalil, Shoaib Bukhari, Wasay Jalil, Saif Yar Khan, Dr Sagheer Ahmed, Wasim Aftab, Salim Tajik, Kaiful Wara, Gulfaraz Khan Khattak, Tariq Jawed Raza Haroon, Dr Nusrat and Ashfaq Mangi were also present at the event.
