  • Comments Off on Altaf terms Supreme Court’s detailed verdict historic
Founder and leader of the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Altaf Hussain on Wednesday said that the historical and courageous judgement that the Supreme Court has delivered on matters relating to NRO is commendable. He, in a statement issued from the MQM's London-based International Secretariat, conveyed his praise to the entire nation particularly the full bench of the Supreme Court.

He appealed to all those officials and leaders who have been affected by this judgement should really respect this judgement despite their shock and disappointments and they should also prepare themselves to produce evidence in the court of law to defend their positions.

Altaf Hussain stated that accountability across the board of a person or the institution, which has squandered the national wealth is in the wider interest of the country. He observed that his comments may not go down well in certain quarters but he had always expressed his views honestly.

That is why he was passing his days in exile but for the sake of the people and country he shall continue to bear it. He pointed out that the country has not been plundered by just a few individuals, rather hundreds of persons have looted the national exchequer.

The justice must be seen to be done but if the actions are confined to a few individuals of smaller provinces, then that would create a negative impression and breed hatred, antagonism and sense of deprivation. He said that whosoever is responsible for illicit personal gains and had billions of rupees loans written off in his/her favour must be held accountable. -PR
