Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain on Thursday hailed the Supreme Court’s decision on the 7th Wage Board Award, terming it a victory for the journalists’ community.
Congratulating the Pakistan Federation of Union Journalists, All Pakistan Newspaper Employees Confederation and the journalists throughout the country on the acceptance of their application by the Supreme Court for implementation of the wage award, he said that there was restlessness among journalists on the non-implementation of the award and the decision of the Supreme Court would go a long way in solving the problems of journalists.
Hussain said the MQM had been raising its voice for the problems being faced by the journalists and would continue to struggle for their rights at every forum in the future as well.
PAKISTAN DAY MESSAGE: The MQM chief felicitated the nation on the occasion of Pakistan Day (today), saying that the country cannot be put on the path of progress and prosperity unless the feudal system and concentration of power in the hands of a few families is abolished.
“Freedom is a blessing and living nations value their freedom above anything else,” he said. “The founding fathers of Pakistan had laid the foundation of Pakistan on 23rd March 1940 for the Muslims of the subcontinent.”
Hussain said it is unfortunate that despite gaining independence, the country could not be liberated from the shackles of feudal lords. “The feudal system and unjust division of resources had resulted in the dismemberment of the country and the survival of the remaining country is also being threatened.”
The MQM leader said that it is necessary to promote national unity and cohesion in the present precarious circumstances. “The citizens of Pakistan must be given their legitimate rights irrespective of the prejudices of caste, colour, creed and ethnic background.”
He said that full autonomy should be given to the provinces according to the true spirit of the resolution passed on 23rd March. He said that the MQM is striving to establish a society in Pakistan according to the dreams of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allah Iqbal. “The MQM wants to eliminate the culture of dynastic politics in order to empower the poor and middle classes.”
Well Done !
Here we see self acclaimed statesman of Pakistan who lives in London and issuing statements probably every hour. The picture of this man is probably like by the Pakistan Today. Sickening.
