"Don't pray behind clerics who do not condemn 'Malala attack'," says Altaf
[Dawn] Muttahida Qaumi Movement...English: United National Movement, generally known as MQM, is the 3rd largest political party and the largest secular political party in Pakistain with particular strength in Sindh. From 1992 to 1999, the MQM was the target of the Pak Army's Operation Cleanup leaving thousands of urdu speaking civilians dead... (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain appealed to the people of Pakistain belonging to different schools of thoughts to refrain from offering prayers behind the Learned Elders of Islam who do not condemn the attack upon daughter of the nation Malala Yousufzai by the Taliban terrorists. He advised them to offer prayers in the mosques where the Learned Elders of Islam were condemning the brutal attack, said a statement issued by the MQM here on Friday. Altaf Hussain also appealed to the Learned Elders of Islam belonging to different schools of thought to denounce the attack on Malala Yousufzai and other girls students in their prayers. He asked them to offer special prayers for the well-being and health of Malala and other students who were maimed in the attack. Altaf Hussain praised the Learned Elders of Islam belonging to Muttahida Bainul Mohammedaneen Forum and other Learned Elders of Islam for showing courage in condemning the incident. He asked them to get united for saving the country. Earlier today, the MQM chief urged all office bearers, party workers and peace loving citizens of Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It may be the largest city in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... and the country to submit within a week the details of all muftis and Learned Elders of Islams (holy mans) in their localities, regardless of their sectarian affiliations, with the party's unit and sector offices situated in their respective areas. Earlier on Thursday, Hussain gave 24 hours ultimatum to all top muftis and Learned Elders of Islam (holy mans) of the country to openly denounce the cowardly attack on young Pak children's rights activist Malala Yousafzai or else he will 'expose' them.
