Dated: 17 January 2013

MQM will continue to extend moral support to Dr Qadri for bringing an end to the obsolete political system in the country

The Founder and Leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr Altaf Hussain has said that the demands put forwarded by the head of Tehreek-i-Minhaj-ul-Quran Dr Tahir -ul- Qadri are the collective voice of the people of Pakistan. He said that these demands should be accepted immediately and no hurdles should be created in the way of the Long March. He said that the government should refrain from using delaying tactics as witnessed in accepting the demands of the mourners of the Quetta tragedy. He said that it was necessary for the survival of democracy in the country that all legitimate demands of Dr Qadri be accepted without inordinate delays.

Mr Hussain warned that the situation may get complicated if strong-arm tactics were used to create obstacles in the way of the Long March. If the situation compounded the march may grip the entire country in the same manner as the sit-in of the mourners of the Quetta tragedy stirred the entire nation. He said that the MQM fully supported the agenda of Dr Qadri and it would continue to extend moral support to Dr Qadri for bringing an end to the obsolete political system in the country.
