By Muhammad Azeem Samar
KARACHI: **Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Altaf Hussain has said his party would be able to nominate its prime minister and chief minister of the Sindh province after the general elections due in 2013 as popularity of the party is spreading elsewhere in the country.

He was delivering a telephonic address from London to a large number of participants of three election-related meetings of the MQM held at Shah Faisal Colony, Orangi Town, and North Karachi late Friday evening.
Altaf Hussain said his party would launch more developmental projects if voted to power at the federal level. He said the party this time had been given a chance to work freely and; thus, it conceived and materialised several developmental projects.
He said the MQM would make utmost efforts to ensure peace and security on February 18 so that the day of polling could be observed as a day of peace and democracy. He said other political and religious parties had to play their part also in order to maintain peace and security on the election day.
He said it is obligatory for every patriotic citizen of the country that he should play his/her role to materialise peaceful holding of polls. He said Ulema and leaders of various communities had an important responsibility regarding peaceful conduct of elections.
He said activists and workers of various contesting parties are strictly required to avoid confrontation and clash with each other and restrict their role in accordance with the code of elections.
Altaf Hussain appealed to masses that they should vote for MQM candidates in order to break previous records of party electoral victory. He said uninterrupted development work in Karachi for another five years would turn the metropolis into a symbol of progress and development. The MQM leader also recalled political services of party workers and activists, who had sacrificed their lives during the Army and paramilitary operations launched in 1992.
