The Coordination Committee of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has decided to move privilege motions in both the houses for action against parliamentarians involved in loot and plunder of the national wealth.
The motions will be concurrently moved by the MQM parliamentarians in the National Assembly and the Senate. Plans have been finalised and soon the motions would be submitted in both the houses.
This was revealed by the MQM Coordination Committee member Mustafa Azizabadi on Tuesday from London. He said this was being done to counter the privilege motion moved by the PML-N in the National Assembly where the PML-N member had submitted a motion that the statement given by MQM chief Altaf Hussain was against the democratic institutions and it had hurt the respect and dignity of the house.
Mustafa said the MQM Coordination Committee meeting, held in London and Karachi on Tuesday, decided to counter the the motions of the PML-N. He said Altaf’s statement had been welcomed across the board.
Mustafa said the Coordination Committee also discussed in detail the present political situation and pledged to continue help and support to the flood victims. The PML-F chief, Pir Pagara, has also endorsed the statement of Altaf Hussain for martial law, a section of the press reported. However, JUI-F chief Fazlur Rehman has criticised the statement given by the MQM chief.
