Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

LONDON: In a surprising statement on Tuesday, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief, Altaf Hussain called upon the military to come forward for a take over of the country in case the army and government fail to come on the same page.

“We will have to decide between saving Pakistan and democracy,” Altaf Husain stressed in a statement issued from London, adding, ‘there will be a democracy, if there is Pakistan’.

The MQM Chief stated that he could care less if anyone says he was inviting dictatorship in the country.

He said he would rather support the idea of resolution of issues through a dialogue but stressed that ‘first the writ of the state and Constitution will have to be established; a ceasefire and dialogue come next’.

Altaf Hussain exhorted the government to establish a fund for the families of the martyrs of law enforcers. MQM, he added, will also contribute its share to this fund.

The statement from the MQM supreme comes at a time when the country is being run under a democratic set up following a smooth transfer of power from a similar dispensation in the wake of May 2013 elections.

So MQM is going to contribute to a fund?

GOOD!

The rest I leave for the @BBZ..

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military take over’

The guy certainly knows how to remain in news. He also knows very well that the media is fully geared up against the TTP and it will take anything positively as long as someone is pitching in for military action. Altaf also knows it well that unlike the PTI, his party has a highly competent media team which can defend him on any position whatsoever.

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

I second the call of Altaf Hussain ... and not because army chief is from Karachi, but because I care for the country and believe corrupt, selfish, self-centered politicians deserve to get hanged rather than rule the country.

As for MQM against TTP, that is no news nor any reason to believe that it is opportunistic gesture, as MQM was against TTP since years when people use to love sleeping with TTP, plus I believe MQM is the only party that has guts to stand in front of TTP fitna, and also challenge TTP. It was MQM that was holding referendum 'Pakistan or Taliban' but it seems people were too scared to come out, so MQM made that referendum dormant at that time.

Few years ago, when MQM was warning that TTP is getting into Karachi, people started looking at it as ethnic issue against Pakhtuns, but unfortunately it was Pakhtuns, especially ANP that suffered most in the hands of TTP. TTP atrocities towards ANP is such that, many ANP leaders in Karachi got killed brutally by TTP and some left ANP to join MQM (possibly for protection).

جمہوریت جھیلنے کا اپنا گُردہ نہیں .اپنی نيت میں فطور ہے. جب بُوٹ ہوتا ہے اُس کو پوجتے ہیں جب جانے والا ہو گالیاں نکالتے ہیں اور جب چلا جاتا ہے تو بہانے بہانے سے اُسے یاد کرتے اور بلاتے ہیں. آمریت بیان بازی سے چل سکتی ہے جمہوریت کام مانگتی ہے جو اِن سب حرامخوروں کی موت ہے.

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

The list of hanged people may include the guy whose call you are supporting.

While I agree that if we have to pick between Pakistan and democracy, we should pick Pakistan - but thinking that every solution is in military take over is stupidity. We have the biggest example in our neighboring county India, who fought the insurgency and terrorism for many many years; against Khalistan movement, Tamil tigers and Kashmir freedom fighters, but did it hundered percent under civilian govt. Maybe we can learn a thing or two from them.

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

Had it come from Imran, he would be hanged by a lamppost before dawn.

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

Military takeover only plays into taliban's "constitution is garbage" hand.

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

Hang any MQM parliamentarian if they are found involved in corruption and nepotism (along with parliamentarians from each and every party and bureaucrats involved in corruption and nepotism), and I would second that too.

Why is that?

No one is hanging or demanding to hang Imran by a lamp-post when Imran openly appease Taliban and support these Kharjees in spite of these Kharjees cutting throats of many Pakistan army officers, bureaucrats and eminent civilian, blowing Mazars, Mosques, Schools, government buildings, hotels, shops, markets, etc ... and doing suicide attacks to kill thousand of innocent civilians brutally.

If no one is calling for hanging of Imran even when he is hurting people emotion and sentiment by supporting these Kharjees and making them hero, then why anyone would call for hanging of Imran if he would call army to save Pakistan from this turmoil? Is trusting and calling army worse crime than appeasing Kharjees and making them hero?

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

This statement tell us that who have the custody the killers of Dr Imran Farooq .
MQM born under dictotorship , grown under them and happy with them .
Khuli chhuti , jitnay marzi maro .

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

Well, constitution is garbage when it is used selectively so that country is looted and masses are exploited. If you think of it, you will find that there is no constitutional laws for politicians, bureaucrats and their relatives as well as friend when it comes to punishing them for crimes ... and also there is no constitutional laws for ordinary Pakistanis when it comes to their rights.

Only people in Pakistan who get punished are those who could not buy (bribe) laws, are not powerful enough to use papers constitution is written as toilet paper, or got unfortunate because those in power (at the time) gone against them and want to punish them.

On the other hand, only people in Pakistan who get rewarded are not because of their constitutional rights (based on merit), but because they have money to buy rewards (give rushwat), have contacts to get rewarded, are related to someone at top post, or got lucky big way.

That is constitution of Pakistan what I mentioned. ... So what you would like to call it?
'Respectable constitution' ... or ... 'garbage constitution'?

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

You mean, just like Z ABhutto, Nawaz S, Imran ... and most other politicians, with one difference that all got into parliament at one time or another, except Altaf? :)

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

In India, if politicians in power (most of them) were involved in looting and plundering the country so much that they were willing to let Punjab and Kashmir secede from India as long as it helps them becoming rich ... would have started saying that ‘Naxalites’ are best thing that happened in India so that 'Naxalites' do not harm them (politicians) and let them loot the country with peace … should have started calling Indian army or their generals as traitors … should have started calling Indian soldiers killed by terrorists (or Naxalites) as people of hell who died in vain, terrorist (or Naxalites) killing Indian army and innocent civilians as People of God who would get rewarded after death, killed terrorist (or Nazalites) as martyrs ... then ... Be assured that we would have seen Military rule in India too and politicians getting hanged throughout Indian on every lamp posts.

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

Imran is saying the same thing as others. But the problem is that he is not packaging and presenting his narrative properly. He had clearly demanded unconditional ceasefire from the TTP and wants the dialogue to take place under the Constitution. But I know nothing will go in his favour because he does not have a media team like MQM and the Noon League.

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

You wanted to see a Britisher in our parliament .

Re: Altaf Hussain calls for ‘military takeover’

Anwar Pasha Saheb ... Pakistan allows dual nationality. To call a dual national as Britisher only (especially when in Pakistan) is tauheen of Pakistani nationality and Pakistani constitution, as dual nationality is nationality that one holds according to Pakistani constitution.

Anyhow, please allow me to tell you something, that might hurt but it is true.

The biggest traitor Pakistani history has seen was Z A Bhutto, who intentionally worked and designed breakup of Pakistan so that he can rule … and blind Paksitanis blame Yahya and Mujib.

Let me put down one important fact about Bhutto, that anyone could verify.

In 1970 election, Pakistan parliament had 313 general assembly seats. It was possible to be majority party even if a party wins most seats from East Pakistan and no seat from west Pakistan, but it was impossible that party could make majority even if they won all seats from west Pakistan.

Still Mujeeb party knowing that they would never win, contested in several seats from west Paksitan, and also made alliances from west Pakistani political parties (like NAP). Shows that he believed on One Pakistan, and was not traitor or wanted to break-up Pakistan (neither he needed break-up of Pakistan to rule anyhow, so even circumstances verifies that).

On the other hand, one can see what was in the mind of Bhutto, as he did not contested a single seat from East Pakistan, and made no alliances in east Pakistan, still was dreaming to rule Pakistan, shows that he mentally knew his plan to be in power on west Pakistan general assembly seats alone, what he achieved too … as Bhutto was working to break-up Pakistan to fulfill his dream, and many in military helped him achieve his goal ... shows that he did not believed on 'One Pakistan' and had design to break-up Pakistan for his own political ambition (that he got fulfilled with the help of some in armed forces).

Because Bhutto was fruit of military dictatorship, born under dictatorship, grew under dictatorship and was happy with dictatorship ... was so much in love with dictatorship that Bhutto became Pakistan only civil dictator ... and obviously army was happy with Bhutto too, as whatever Bhutto was, army knew that Bhutto was army's SOB.
