Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder and leader Altaf Hussain has said that Pakistan’s army is butchering the innocent Baloch youths because they are demanding equal rights.

Speaking at his 65th birthday, Hussain said, “The army is killing them after declaring them as terrorists. Army has to roll back their plans and they would have to free Balochistan and we are the supporters of free and independent Balochistan.”

While addressing the people of Punjab, he asked them to take to streets for supporting Baloch and Mohajirs in their fight for equality and human rights. Hussain also clarified that he had never slammed Pakistan but had slammed its corrupt and butchering feudal system. “Pakistan should be free from the decayed feudal system, corrupt Capitalist system and that everyone in Pakistan should have equal rights and equal citizens. The minorities in Pakistan, especially the Ahmedi, should also be respected with regard to their rights and religious freedom as Pakistani citizens.”

Altaf Hussain vowed to rebuild a new state for Mohajir people who have allegedly been denied equal rights and justice by Pakistan from the past several decades.

Speaking at his 65th birthday, Hussain said, “Justice system in Pakistan is of dual standard, which is unacceptable. We would either accept a fully autonomous and powerful province for Mohajirs or a complete new Mohajir State. We won’t accept anything less than either of these options.”

The MQM founder discussed in detail the prevailing anti-Mohajir and anti-Baloch policies of the state of Pakistan and asked, “What would be the exact feelings on seeing others occupying the house on gun points, exploiting all resources on the basis of power and influence? This is the typical situation that calls for use of power to retrieve the stolen rights. The oppressors would never listen to us unless we use the same strategy, say the use of power to repel them out of our lands”

Elaborating on the ongoing issue, Hussain added, “This is the typical situation that calls for use of power to retrieve the stolen rights. The oppressors would never listen to us unless we use the same strategy, say the use of power to repel them out of our lands.”

The MQM founder further said that he has been questioned as to why he had slammed Pakistan ignoring that his people have been kidnapped and enforced to disappear and are extra-judicially murdered and these things are enough to upset any sensible mind. When Mohajir women visited Martyrs’ monument at Azizabad, they were subjected to torture and arrest and even minor children were also not spared, he noted.

Stressing on the inequality faced by Mohajirs, Hussain said when Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif was produced in the court of law, his party workers were possessing armoured personnel carrier, but the police did not book them for any offence. “But when the women journalists belonging to Mohajir community entered an office of a Pakistani private television company asking them to be unbiased in reporting, the paramilitary Rangers and Police tortured them and later lodged them in jail. The Rangers had also killed one of the youngest workers of the movement.”

Hussain also alleged that courts in Pakistan declare anyone as a traitor if instructed to do so by the Army. “The country is under siege,” he added.
