LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif on Sunday criticised Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain for supporting dictators and accused the MQM of violence in Karachi, a private TV channel reported on Sunday.
Addressing a public gathering at Muzaffarabad, the PML-N chief said that dictators had betrayed the people of Pakistan. Nawaz made a formal announcement for launching of the PML-N Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) chapter. He said the PML-N was a revolutionary party. He asked why 50 people were killed in Karachi when Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry arrived in the provincial capital on May 12. He said those demanding revolution should define the word first. “Is it a revolution that MQM leader Imran Farooq is murdered in London and dozens of people are killed in Karachi in its reaction?” Nawaz asked.
“Those political parties who are talking about bringing a revolution in the country are the same ones who have been serving dictatorship for the last 11 years,” he said, adding that at the time of the earthquake in AJK, he was in Jeddah. He said he had intended to come back to Muzaffarabad, but a person who was not currently in the country had stopped him at the time. He deplored that the “most-corrupt people” were being hired at key posts, adding that Pakistan does not have a good history. “The dictators always toppled the public-elected governments... some hanged public leaders, others ousted them. Musharraf exiled me, but today he is sitting in exile,” the PML-N chief said.
Nawaz said that he was a friend of Pakistan and not a companion of President Asif Ali Zardari. About the PML-N’s role as a “friendly opposition”, he said, “Neither am I a friend of the present rulers, nor will I be.” He said that President Zardari was voted by those who had been talking about a revolution, adding that the PML-N did not support him. Regarding the present government, he said that it was not too late for those at the helm, adding that they could still reform themselves. Concluding his address, the PML-N chief vowed to make an independent government in the future, the channel reported.
