KARACHI: Sindh Assembly  passes a resolution against Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain for its incendiary anti-Pakistan statements unanimously  with calls for action under Article 6 of the constitution against those who issue anti-Pakistan statements.

The resolution strongly condemned the anti-Pakistan statements by Altaf Hussain in his August 22 speech to MQM workers camped outside Karachi Press Club, after which they attacked media offices.

“The house condemns all sorts of crimes, torture, terrorism, and anti-Pakistan slogans and activities carried out by any side, and the most strict action should be taken against those responsible as per law and Article 6 of the Constitution,” the resolution states.

The resolutions were tabled by Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P)  Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, and Pakistan Muslim League-Functional.

MQM’s Leader of the Opposition in the Sindh Assembly Khawaja Izharul Hassan got emotional as he addressed the house.

After Altaf’s speech, “what options did we have?” Izhar wondered. “Like others, we could power off our cellphones and thinking about saving our lives and leaving the country. We could have changed our party within the hour. Everything would have been resolved and the nation would appreciate our actions.”

Instead, the party’s leadership opted for a third option ─ To deliver the party from the pressure and the shame it faced after the chief’s speech.
