After the statement of Altaf Hussain, the British high commissioner has taken her statement very seriously, and it is very likely that there would be some action taken against Altaf Hussain. Recently during the election week in Pakistan, many questions were raised about the credibility of the Election commission of Pakistan that was damaged by MQM.
The ECP said that there would be a fair election in all parts of Pakistan, but it failed to do so as the MQM was found manipulating the results in Karachi where evidences were found that the MQM was directly involved in the rigging of the election. Hundreds of people were outside the polling station when they found that the MQM was influencing the elections in Karachi. In a protest against the rigging in elections, thousands of people gathered in Karachi to protest against the MQM, and the demand of the protesters was that there should be re-pooling in all parts of Karachi. The second major party that came up with the huge popularity in the elections of 2013 was the PTI which was led by Imran Khan one of the former captains of the Pakistani cricket team.The PTI supporters said that they were threatened by the MQM members that they would be facing extreme reaction by the MQM.
In response, the MQM leader while giving a statement tried to calm the people in Karachi live on telephonic conversation. Not only in Pakistan but also the international media were surprised by such a statement by Altaf Hussain. A lot of media coverage was given to the protestors so that their voice can be heard. In response, the election commissioner of Pakistan has taken an action, and announced that there should be re-polling in specific areas of Karachi where the polling wasn’t done.
Earlier, there were many statements by the MQM in which they have tried to treat people so that can come under their influence, but this time the protestors said that they won’t be backing up until there would be free and fair elections again.
The polling results that came up after the elections, particularly in Karachi were unacceptable because there were many witnesses that came up with the evidences that rigging was being-made in Karachi.
With the statement coming up of Altaf Hussain, there were complaints raised by thousands of people all around the United Kingdom and Pakistan that there should be notice taken by the UK government. There were complaints send to the London metropolitan police about the statement that Altaf Hussain addressed to the people of Karachi. People in the UK are also demanding that there should be some action taken against the MQM.
During the statement, Altaf Hussain, who was talking non-sense, said that if people didn’t like the MQM and they were not willing to accept the mandate given to them then it would be justified to separate Karachi from Pakistan. He said that if people have some problems with the MQM then it would be justified to say that Karachi should be handed over to the MQM as an independent state. However, we would all agree that there is no concept of state within a state. The MQM is intentionally provoking the people so seperation could be created in Karachi.
A statement like this can lead to chaos in Pakistan. After a strong response from the media and the people of Pakistan, the MQM spokesmen said in a statement that Altaf Hussain statement was misinterpreted by the media and it was manipulated, however the statement by Altaf Hussain was very much clear.
As a result of the complaints of the people in the UK, there was pressure on London Police to take a serious action against Altaf Hussain, and Thomson said in a statement that they were looking into the matter very seriously, and there were higher numbers of chances that Altaf Hussain may face some heavy charges. In the British law, it is a very serious crime if someone tries to provoke people to promote violence.
Altaf Hussain has denied the message that was understood from his statement a few days ago. He was advised by his doctors that he should have some rest so that he can continue his political activities.
