Many people will testify that during the Nizam-e-Mustafa movement in 1977, straight fire was opened on the demonstrators in Karachi under the orders of Pakistan Army but when this demonstration was held in Lahore, the officers and men of the army refused to open fire on the demonstrators. They said that they would not fire on their brothers. In spite of all this we are told to talk about Pakistani nationhood and one nation.”
He asked if it was not unjust that MQM, which is the most organized political party of Pakistan, does not get even one per cent coverage on the national television channel. MQM news are not broadcast because we are not considered Pakistanis.”
Addressing the think tank of the armed forces Mr Hussain appealed that this discrimination should end. Steps should be taken to provide justice to all.
People of Hyderabad have been demanding the establishment of a university in their city for the past 67 years. Former Education Minister of the Sind Province said that a university in Hyderabad would be made over his dead body. On the other hand, the Sindhi dignitaries ask the Urdu-speaking people to become Sindhis and not consider themselves as Mohajirs. We want to ask them if Hyderabad is not a part of Sindh. Why no protest was held on opposing the demand for making a university in Hyderabad?”
Mr Hussain said that the MQM had been striving for the rights of Sindh province and its people. “The MQM refused to sign the NFC Award when Sindh was not given its due share in the award. The MQM become a strong wall against the Kalabagh Dam because of the reservations of the people of Sindh. But despite all this we are not considered Sindhis.”
Mr Hussain said that he had been living in exile for the past 25 years away from his colleagues and families of the MQM martyrs. “My heart yearns to come to my people and offer prayers on the graves of the martyrs.”
Mr Hussain said that the MQM was the first political party of the country that only talked about the rights of the poor people but also actually got elected poor but educated people and sent them to Senate, National Assembly and Provincial Assembly. Those who say that the PTI is the first part that gave political awareness to the poor do not tell the truth.
Mr Hussain said it was because of the sacrifices of the martyrs that Bills for establishing universities in Karachi, Hyderabad and Nawabshah had been unanimously passed by the Sindh Assembly.
