Pulwama terror attack will throw regions into flames of war: Altaf Hussain

Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founding leader Altaf Hussain on Saturday said Pulwama terror attack, which took place on Thursday, would throw the regions into flames of war.

Hussain vehemently slammed Pak-based terror outfit, JeM, for carrying out the suicide terror attack on a convoy of CRPF. He expressed his solidarity with the slain soldiers and bereaved families.

He said: "It is an established factor and reality that JeM was founded in Pakistan and operates from Pakistan across the world. Its headquarters is based in Pakistan. The videotaping of the suicide attack proved that JeM is not an ordinary terrorist but is an organisation fully trained by the ghoulish ISI."

MQM leader claimed that he has always supported the idea of establishing friendly ties with the neighbouring countries like Iran, India, Afghanistan, and China but that does not necessarily mean that Pakistani soil should be leased out to China.

"The entire Gwadar region has been converted into Chinese Red Zone where the local population of Balouchs is not allowed to enter. Conversely, Karachi is being reshaped for the ease and comfort of Chinese invaders. Houses and property of Mohajirs are being demolished in the garb of encroachments," he said.

MQM leader Hussain also said that the military junta of Pakistan has in the garb of democracy imposed an undeclared Martial Law and the incumbent PTI's government is nothing but a sheer puppet government that is working on dictations.

"There is Martial Law and Stratocracy in Pakistan being imposed and the world has to take notice of these draconian steps taken by the Pakistani military," he said.

"UN, IMF, World Bank, and all other money lending international institutions have to revisit their policies towards Pakistan and should stop lending money to the country because the Pakistani military and military intelligence agencies like MI and ISI would use that money for creating more terrorist organisations and the world would once again be on the verge of devastation like that of 9/11 and 7/7," he said.

"The fact is that the army has occupied the whole country. It is the need of the hour that a Truth and Reconciliation Commission should be constituted and the military junta should realise their blunders and decide whether they are ready to live with the oppressed nations, Mohajirs, Balochs and Pashtuns or not," he said.
