The Founder and Leader of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Altaf Hussain has said that the country was passing through the most critical juncture in its history and "we were busy in frolicking and hosting dinners."
Altaf Hussain said that many people might become angry at his speech but he cared little for their anger as he valued the security and existence of the country above anything else.
Speaking about talk shows on television channels he said that many anchor-persons enjoyed cock fighting instead of giving any solution to the problems of the country.
MQM Quaid said that one has to die only once but if the security of the country can be safeguarded he was ready to die. Criticising big political parties for their apathetic attitude in the aftermath of the raid by US forces in Abbottabad on 2nd May he said that he waited in vain for a response from them. President Zardari who was also the Supreme Commander of the armed forces, Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani, the Federal cabinet, leader of all the big political parties were supposed to guide the nation in this difficult time but the people were being fooled once again through traditional slogan mongering.
MQM Leader And Founder Altaf Hussain declared that all these political elements were maintaining criminal silence and were not informing the nation about the true state of affairs.
Further said that the people at the helm of affairs would say that Altaf Hussain was spreading despondency and hopelessness.
Altaf Hussain Said that more than 80 per cent of the budget is spend on defence and defence related institutions and if action was not taken against their responsible elements then the country will have to face consequences.
Speaking about the raids by terrorists at PNS base Mehran in Karachi MQM Quaid Altaf Hussain said that not a month had passed after the US raid in Abbottabad when terrorists took the Mehran base by storm. 4, 6 or 8 terrorists not only penetrated inside the base but engaged all the firepower of military for over 16 long hours.
While Speaking about the Afghan war in the past he said that the responsible people should come clean that a mistake was made in the past by jumping in the war between the USA and Russia. The Taliban were trained by our people and now they have become Frankenstein's monster.
Altaf Hussain Referring to the discussions in the talk shows on TV in which questions were being asked if this was our war or the war of the United States. If this was the US war then whose people are being killed?
MQM leader And Founder Altaf Hussain While Speaking about the criticism being directed against the army and ISI over the incident of 2nd May, he said that it would be unjust to blame General Kayani or Lt General Shuja Pasha for the failure. It is the institution that had failed and not the individual. The institution did not discharge its responsibility with honesty, integrity and a sense of duty.
He said that we should think in earnest about the past mistakes and make amends for them. The president and the prime minister should cancel their foreign trips immediately and call a round table conference of all the religious and political parties. Every political party should be asked to give its input over the situation. They should be asked as to what they can do on their part to solve the problem.
MQM Quaid said that despite everything we continue to blame the US for every fault. We had to decide whether we want the US aid or we are prepared to go without US aid? The time for the decision is now.
He added the institution of army and ISI as whole were not bad. It was the top down organization structure that was affected by gangrene and TB. He said that the gangrenous part should be surgically removed in order to save the entire institution. The part affected by TB should be cared for in sanatorium and taken back only after they were fully recovered.
MQM Leader And Founder Altaf Hussain asserted that blaming the army and the ISI would be to please the enemies of the country.
