Great work by MQM.
Only MQM can do that.
MQM Coordination Committee member and Sindh minister for Information Technology, Raza Haroon, said yesterday that the MQM is against all sorts of discrimination and all are equal in the eyes of its founder and chief Altaf Hussain.
Altaf Hussain has immense love for special people and has been striving to help solve their problems from the day one, he added.
He was speaking at a reception hosted in honour of handicapped people by MQM at Lal Qila ground. Large number of special people, including blind, deaf and dumb, came to the venue of the reception on wheel-chairs, stretchers and with the help of crutches.
Felicitating the Haq Parast representatives role in getting a Bill passed from the Assembly's Law and Justice Committee, Haroon said that their role under the vision of MQM Quaid for the rights of representation to a deprived section of the country was a laudable act. In this regard, he appealed to the leader of parliament to consider the Bill as his own issue and get the same passed immediately from the Assembly.
"There is no special terminology in the world as we are all ordinary people with equal rights to live and to all Pakistani institutions, schools and hospitals."
The MQM minister said that the policy of all developed nations was that they neither built separate school, college and house for special people nor made any special arrangements for their employment and the logic behind it was that special people should live with normal people so that they might not have any sense of deprivation.
At the outset, Haroon said that it was a matter to ponder over that in a house of 342 members only 25 legislators had been thinking about the welfare of special people.
He said that since there was no discrimination in the MQM, the special people were part of it. He urged the special people to continue their struggle by following the MQM's policy of non-discrimination.
Earlier, MQM Ladies Wing In-charge and Haq Parast MNA Ms Kishwar Zehra said that the MQM which had been serving without any prejudices had given new courage to the special people by presenting a bill in the assembly which was aimed at getting them representation.
Speaking on behalf of special people, Munne Bhai described Monday's reception 'a historic day', saying that Hussain and the MQM leadership had done such a great job for special people which no other political party of the country could do.
Another speaker from special people, Pirzada, felicitated the Sindhi translation of Altaf Hussain's biography 'Safar-i-Zindagi' and said that blind people could benefit with the release of the book in the form of video.
