The rulers must accept the demand for new provinces for a stronger Pakistan, Tehreek-e-Suba Hazara leader Baba Haider Zaman said on Saturday.
He was speaking at the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM)’s headquarters Nine-Zero, where he was visiting along with a delegation of his party.
He held a meeting with MQM Rabita Committee deputy conveners Dr Farooq Sattar, Anis Ahmed Qaimkhani and Nasreen Jalil and other members of the body.
Zaman also spoke with MQM chief Altaf Hussain on the phone. The Tehreek-e-Suba Hazara leader invited the MQM to participate in its rally in Karachi.
Talking to the media after the meeting, Dr Farooq Sattar said the MQM had submitted a resolution and a constitutional amendment bill in the National Assembly and the Senate for the creation of Hazara and southern Punjab provinces and the party will make every effort to have them passed.
“The MQM will not give up its struggle for the rights of the Hazara people. The security and integrity of the country are tied to the creation of Hazara and Seraiki provinces,” he added.
Speaking on the occasion, Zaman said the allegations against the MQM are and baseless and the party is not involved in violence or bloodshed. “The propaganda against the MQM is aimed at creating division among people,” he added.
Zaman said the MQM has done its job in the parliament, whereas the other political parties have failed to perform their duties.
Later, Zaman and his delegation visited the monument constructed in memory of MQM’s murdered activists and offered fateha.
I totally support for an independent province of Hazara. That’s the only solution for a better governance. Reduce the size of our provinces.
