Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
step down on moral grounds? wow, look who is talking about morals!
khair, let's see how things unfold in coming days.... I really hope and pray that law enforcement hold him accountable for his infinite crimes and justice is served. because if he is set free once again.... his influence will be still very much there and we might not witness a positive change in tactics of MQM.

Altaf Hussain quits as MQM chief after raid on his London house - thenews.com.pk
LONDON: Deeming a recent police raid on his apartment as a disgrace to his reputation, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader, Altaf Hussain, has announced to voluntarily relinquish the party leadership henceforth, Geo News reported.
“Metropolitan Police raided my house and took away many things. When the home of a person, who also happens to be the political leader of millions, is subjected to such an investigatory action, then it becomes imperative for him to step down on moral grounds”, said he talking exclusively to Geo News.
Altaf Hussain’s statement comes at a time when British Prime Minister, David Cameron, is vising Pakistan. Cameron called on President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday and will hold a meeting with Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif today (Sunday.
He said he was renouncing the leadership of his party since New Scotland Yard ransacked his house in North West London and seized many items/documents in connection with Dr Imran Farooq murder case investigation. He said whatever happened called into question the name of the leader of his stature.
“I am abdicating my responsibility as the Quaid-e-Tehreek. I am transferring my powers to MQM Coordination Committee”, said he.
He said that if a court of law took up Dr Imran Farooq murder case then he would not engage any lawyer, solicitor, or barrister, rather he would fight his case himself.
“I would plead my case personally and embrace the ruling of the honourable court openheartedly regardless of which way it goes”, he added.
Vowing to continue his Haqparastana (righteous) struggle Altaf advised his followers to stay convinced no matter what happened.
“Hold your heads high and repose your full trust in the party leadership”, said Altaf Hussain.
Following the their party leader’s announcement, throngs of shocked party workers, supporters, sympathizers showed up at the MQM Headquarter ‘Nine Zero’ in Karachi and other parts of the country.
According to sources, at the moment, the workers are chanting slogans to express their solidarity as well as allegiance to Altaf Hussain’s leadership demanding him to withdraw his decision.
The sources added that the MQM Coordination Committee London and Karachi chapters are constantly in touch since his announcement, however an official statement regarding Altaf Hussain’s decision was yet to be issued.
More than a week ago, Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command Unit searched two North West London “residential addresses” for 55 hours with one of them belonging to Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief, Altaf Hussain.
The New Scotland Yard, which raided the houses, rooted both the apartments during the painstaking search and confiscated many important documents.
According to sources, Altaf Hussain is the proprietor of one of the two houses, however the details of the ownership of the other apartment are yet unknown.Dr Farooq, the former convener of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) was stabbed to death outside his home on 16th September 2010 as he was returning home. The UK police is investing the murder of Dr Farooq case on several lines, including one strong line of investigation that Dr Farooq was in discussions with his colleagues and members of the public to start his own independent political career. These searches were carried out under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE). Subsequently London police arrested a British man of Pakistani origin questioned him for 34 hours before he was released on bail.

^ and the drama continues... :)
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
hopefully we'll be spared from his speeches for some time... :)
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
There are two things different for Altaf Hussain now:
His teen talwar speech prompted thousands of Pakistanis to call the MET police and highlight the role of Altaf Hussain/MQM in Karachi’s destruction
No Rahman Malik (PPP federal government) to come to their rescue

Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
So ok MQM diehards or the support mafia racket must have AH as their leader so that the racketeering can continue....hence the standoff in front of 90HQ
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
I dont now why ppl are celebrating, is this going to bring peace in karachi??? Honestly i doubt
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
Not really. Bhai log to address MQM in a bit. We aint that lucky after all.
This drama/stunt is unfolding quicker than expected. Widow of Imran Farooq also spoke to media and appealed ‘QET’ to take the decision back.
If Khi is not freed now, it may not see the peace we all want for it. :hinna:
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
Perhaps this is the first time I am ever prompted to support a move by Altaf Hussain, and even praise him for it. The guy was just questioned in a crime, and he resigned from party leadership, even though nothing has been proven yet, nor a case brought out against him directly.
Compare that to our current and ex-PMs and presidents, and they feign innocence even after admitting to crimes, being faced with undisputed evidence and paying penalties, and insist on holding on to their seats, and go on to become presidents and prime ministers…and use those seats of power to quash cases against them.
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? :)
He hasn't been arrested or put to trial yet. Btw, I am surprisingly shocked that you didn't put MQM or altaf's picture in your avatar! :D
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
Britain should also think about whats better for them, Altaf Bhai or peace.
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
Altaf Hussain is threatening British govt now 
According to himself, he is the only one standing against USA, UK and Pakistani establishments. brilliant.
This clearly shows that a case against him for sure. Scotland yard has done the trick.
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
whoa, open threats/chants against Pakistan during the speechby people sitting there. Extremely sad.
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
a lot of "top guns" and "hamdards" will try to free themselves from this mafia while others fight to get "command" of a stronger "sector". probably best time for Karachi police to nab all those who have been named in several cases of all sizes, and put them to gallows. check all airports for people suddenly feeling the urge to fly to UAE/South Africa/Malaysia
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
This is indeed a farewell speech. Altaf knows his time is up against the overwhelming evidence. He is going down drunk & fighting
Re: Altaf Hussain Resigns from MQM leadership?
