What Mr. Altaf Hussain said in India about Pakistan's independence being a mistake is echoed on MQM's own website, quoting none other than Mr. Hussain himself:
"The slogan of two-nation theory was raised to deceive the one hundred million muslims of the subcontinent Altaf Hussain".

So, is Mr. Hussain calling Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah [the only REAL Quaid we have, sorry Altaf & Nawaz & countless others] a deceiver, along with all the leaders of the Pakistan Independence Movement, not to mention the great people of Karachi whose forefathers probably sacrificed the most among us to achieve Pakistan's independence?
I raise this issue today not because I hate MQM. I hate all of our failed political parties. In fact, MQM might be the best among them because it at least did one thing very well, and that is to bring middle and lower class Pakistanis into politics. But that is not enough. As a Pakistani, I do not accept Jeddah-, NY-, and London-based politicians running my country, including those with foreign passports. This includes many politicians, Mr. Hussain is only one of them. As a Pakistani I also do not accept what Mr. Hussain uttered on Indian soil, in New Delhi, when he cheaply pandered to anti-Pakistan Indians and said Pakistan's independence was a mistake. Today, when Mr. Hussian suddenly resurfaces with an advice to all Pakistanis ['Follow Quaid e Azam's instructions'], I need to ask him to clarify his statement in India. When Mr. Hussain made that statement, many surviving elders of the Pakistan Independence Movement came on TV and criticized Mr. Hussain for saying what he said. Many of those elders were actually from Karachi, from the very community that Mr. Hussain claims to have the sole authority to represent [Unfortunately, almost all of Pakistan's failed politicians claim to have the right to represent linguistic groups in the country. I don't know who or what gives them the right to claim such representation. Only Pakistan and its government represents all Pakistanis].
Mr. Hussain should address this point and take it seriously because it continues to create misunderstandings. I am one of those people who find Mr. Hussain now to be far more mature and reasonable than many other politicians. This point, however, about his controversial statement, will remain a soar that needs to be addressed. And please tell your 'Pitthoos' to please remove the quote above from MQM's website.
