Demanding the formation of Kabailistan province consisting of the country’s Tribal Areas, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain on Sunday said a pledge should be made to protect one another’s rights, a private TV channel reported on Sunday.
In a telephonic address to notables of Baloch and Sindhi communities, Altaf sympathised with the people of Baloch community, saying Balochs were denied their rights since the day Pakistan came into being. He said conspiracies were hatched to pit Balochs against Muhajirs in Karachi. “I do not speak exclusively for the rights of the Urdu-speaking people,” he claimed. He said he knew poor Balochs did not even have enough food to fill their bellies, while the children of landlords and feudals went abroad to receive education. Altaf said a revolution for bringing the rule of the poor and middle class had become indispensable for Pakistan. He said MQM’s convention in Sukkur on January 20 will bring a good news about abolishing the age-old feudal system in the country. Altaf said the determination, courage and resolve of the workers had jolted the ramparts of palaces of oppression and injustice and declared that these palaces would be razed amid resounding slogans of truth and honesty. He said that the message of his party had spread across the land of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai and hoped that the peasants and labourers, would bring an end to the outdated feudal system by joining hands with his party.
