| Revolution has become fate of country: Altaf |
| 2011-01-31 |
| [Pak Daily Times] Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has said that revolution has become the fate of the country. In his telephonic address at the MQM's Qaumi Yakjehti Jalsa (National Unity Meeting) at Jinnah Ground in Azizabad on Sunday, Altaf said, "Whenever I spoke about a revolution, I was criticised and questions were raised about revolution." "Revolution is unfolding in Tunis and Egypt which everyone can see. This assembly in which people from all ethnic and cultural entities are participating is a revolution in its own right," he added. He said, "I ask the journalists and intellectuals from Punjab, Balochistan, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... Kashmire and other parts of the country that have come here to witness this public meeting to see for themselves if the people present here were brought out through force or at gunpoint." "MQM does not have guns that kill, but it has the guns and rockets of love, peace and brotherhood," he added. Only a revolution would usher in an era in which those looting the country and orchestrating kidnappings-for-ransom should be publicly hanged, he said, adding, "The properties of landlords and feudals will not be destroyed rather educational institutions and hospitals will be established on them." Altaf called upon the youth in Punjab to join hands with the MQM and asked the "army, rangers and police to support the poor at the time of revolution." |
