Phew! since we got that out of the way lets start!
I came across this photo of Altaf Hussain, the leader of the 3rd largest Political Party in Pakistan, some time ago and a lot of different questions sprung in my mind.
First of all, since the last elections, MQM has a majority in Sindh and they have done very well across the country and have enjoyed full support of the government. So why is Altaf Hussain still hiding in London? Why don't he go back to Pakistan in this uncertain political times? Whom is he hiding from? Is he hiding because of the 234 cases against him?
Another food for thought; It has been more than a decade since Altaf Hussain fled to London and as far as I know, he doesn't have a job there. So how can he live so lavishly in one of the most expensive cities of the world? Hmm.. so now I know where all the extortion money and revenue from cell phones are going to.
In May 2005, on a conference in India he said,
"Perhaps the idea of Pakistan was dead at its inception, when the majority of Muslims chose to stay back after partition, a truism reiterated in the creation of Bangladesh in 1971"
So a leader of Pakistan saying that idea of the Pakistan was a mistake? In my opinion this is an act of Treason.
Lastly, looking at the photo above, I just wanted to say one thing. If you are so ashamed of being a Pakistani and so proud of being a foreign national, why don't you just leave us alone. You obviously have no love or respect for your motherland.
These are some very basic questions that nobody seemed to have an answer for. I did not write this article to bash or bad mouth Altaf Hussain but to highlight these issues that needs to be addressed.
