KARACHI – The Founder of Muttahida Quami Movement(MQM) Altaf Hussain has said that the responsibility for releasing the American Raymond Davis rests with the Punjab Government because he killed Pakistanis in Lahore and hence the prosecution, government responsibility to the Punjab Government. He said that if Raymond Davis could be released under the Sharia law of Diyat by paying blood money by the court orders then the US Government should pay the blood money to the family members of the innocent people killed in the drone strikes in North Waziristan.
He was addressing a large number of MQM workers who had gathered at Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Sukkur, Nawab Shah, Tando Allahyar, Sanghar, and Jamshoro for renewing their pledge on the 27th Foundation Day of MQM. Altaf Hussain said that the MQM will emerge as the largest political party in the near future. Referring to Dr Aafia Siddiqui Mr Altaf Hussain said that she did not commit murder of anyone.
Altaf Hussain said that the ruling party of the Punjab levels criticism at me as to why I live out of the country. He said that he has never said anything to discredit the national honour and self-esteem of the country but whether it is the issue of Raymond Davis or any other important issue the rulers of the Punjab always flee the country in order to elude their responsibility.
Altaf Hussain asked why the responsible people in the Punjab Government did not lead the case to effective conclusion. He asked why the Chief Minister of the Punjab left the country for meeting his elder brother the very day the case was decided. Mr Altaf Hussain said that it is the responsibility of every Pakistani to think deeply as to why our rulers are weak and subservient to the US Government instead of foisting the responsibility for the release of Raymond Davis on the institutions and the Government. He said that the government is weak because we have been voting for these rulers time and again. He said that every Pakistani must decide about voting for the MQM instead of bringing to power those already tested politicians.
He paid homage to the martyrs and prayed Allah to give courage and determination to MQM worker.
In his speech Altaf Hussain almost presents his election manifesto saying that if his party became in power it would release country from clenches of IMF.MQM will bring revolution in the country. Persons are sitting in every institution who likes MQM. This party will bring country in economics independence. There be no any dominant on the country including USA. If MQM would have in power, Raymond Davis only can release after release of Dr Afia. Altaf Hussain said his party don’t want extremism but want peace. He support creation of Seraki province but oppose to break Sindh. He said he want strong Sindh, not divided.
