Talking with the very senior writer Shaheen Sehbai (Editor Daily The News International) the MQM leader Altaf Bhai has in fact for the first time spoken in a very clear word. His statement during this talk briefly is in fact is one which this nation has not long heard of from any leader. He clearly without mincing words and without caring for any one spoke his heart that by dishonoring the written agreement Zardari himself got damaged, had Musharraf consulted MQM Justice Ifikhar might not have been de-seated etc. One of his sentence speaks miles. He said that today's politicians are from rich, feudal and elite class who under no circumstances can change their ways. He says it is out of question hoping the nature of these politicians will ever change and they will honestly ever care for the nation and not for self. He says only the poor class in power can deliver. He quoted example of Karachi City Nazim Mustfa Kamal who was from a poor family even not having money to purchase some average suits which Altaf Bhai himself purchased for him. This is really true. Reading this whole talk my heart shivered with emotion because it is first time I felt deep respect for Altaf Hussain. However I have a puzzle if Altaf Bhai can remove.
Now now, how did Altaf Hussein from a "poor family" get so much money to be living in a big house in UK without working/job. How did he pay for the suit for Mustafa Kamal, dare Altaf Hussein answer these questions? Or dare a journalist ask these questions to Altaf Hussein?
True that MQM gave poor people a chance to come up in the politics but has MQM changed its ways of mafia-giri in Karachi/Hyderabad? Has MQM changed its ways of lota-giri?
