Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
May he face true justice, may MQM leadership truly change for a better one, hopefully this is not a dramay-baazi resignation while keeping all strings in his own hands.

Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
He should have resigned one year back...anyways, lets see what happens to MQM now...and what holds for AH? Finally justice for him? Pakistan main tou woh abhi bhi innocent hay despite having hundreds of murder cases against his name.
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
I wonder where all those conspiracy theorists are who used to say that Britain was harboring him to create havoc in Pakistan, and that MI6 will never arrest him.
Should I go look for posts from those people? :)
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
^ My personal feeling, the calls/emails to British Police & PM office have helped. We all are witness to AH’s drunk sermons during the past 6 weeks.

Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. But it came in the worst of situation for MQM.
He is not actually leaving voluntarily but have no other choice. This will make the word of his future successor, or Rabita Committe, much more difficult.
But it is good to see him go. History in making.

Smells like Bhai’s goose is cooked. 
And he wants to represent himself in court? He must not know how western justice systems work.
Altaf Hussain quits as MQM chief - DAWN.COM
KARACHI: Altaf Hussain, the founder of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, resigned as chief of the party early Sunday morning.
Hussain said that he was voluntarily handing over all authority and responsibilities as party leader to the MQM’s Rabita (Coordination) Committee.
Speaking to media via telephone from UK, Hussain said Scotland Yard police had raided his residence some days ago and had seized some material, following which he decided to voluntarily step down as party leader on moral grounds.
Hussain said he would not seek legal counsel or a solicitor but would plead his case himself if he were to be produced in court in the Imran Farooq murder case. He said that he would accept any decision by the courts.
Dr Imran Farooq was one of the founding members of the MQM, then known as the Mohajir Qaumi Movement. The party later transformed into the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, the largest political party in Karachi.
Farooq, who had also been living in exile in London since 1999, was stabbed to death on his way home from work in Green Lane on Sept 16, 2010 outside his residence.
Recently, the London Metropolitan police had stepped up investigation into the murder, and police searched two residential properties in London earlier this month as part of the ongoing probe. It conducted several raids, arrested some eight suspects, questioned several people and scanned through thousands of documents.
Sunday’s announcement came as a shock to party workers and supporters as Altaf Hussain has servedas the chief of the MQM ever since its inception in 1984.
In his telephone conversation with media, Hussain called on his party workers “to stay united, and to continue the struggle that he had once started.”
He also urged his party workers to accept all decisions by the MQM’s Rabita Committee in the same manner that they acted upon his directions.
Shortly after news of the announcement on TV channels around 5 am, a large number of party workers and supporters were started gathering at the MQM’s ‘Nine Zero’ headquarters in Karachi as well as offices in other parts of the country.
No official statement has yet been issued by the MQM regarding Hussain’s decision to step down as party chief.
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?

Meanwhile, folks on twitter and FB are crediting PTI and Imran Khan for his resignation :P
