MQM canonier Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said that the sit-in will also be such that it will be a dharna of all dharas, Karachi will have returned to the people of Karachi on March 18.
He said that giving a one-week ultimatum to the People’s Party to correct the constituencies, the People’s Party promised and admitted that they had consumed 53 USCs in the constituencies, after admitting to withdraw the notification of Ten One. Liya, but how shameless are they? We said that if we don’t fight the election, then there won’t be an election and the election hasn’t happened.
Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said that a week from today, Karachi will be at the place where they will decide, all the roads of the city will be moving towards the sit-in, next Sunday, the sit-in will be shifted to Fawara Chowk, all the offices, departments will be there. We will shift and run this city from there because this city is ours and our father’s.
The MQM commander said that ‘I had already said that these fourteen seats must be returned to you and your father will also give them back. The election has been withdrawn, now we have to take another one, for the election that was withdrawn, now we have to fight, now we have to get out, the conspiratorial faces have been exposed.
He said that the census is being conducted five years ahead of time, this census is being conducted on the demand of MQM, each person has to count themselves, now we have to decide, the rulers were told that we should count. If not, you will have to weigh it, it was also said that you will not be able to digest this election, losing the election is not an option, start preparing for the election from today.
Speaking at the general workers meeting of MQM Pakistan, Senior Deputy Colonel Mustafa Kamal said that PPP did not give a single drop of water to the city during fifteen years but instead sold our water for billions of rupees. And government officials are involved.
He said that the provincial government distributed two and a half lakh jobs, but not one job was given to this city or Hyderabad. Till date, they have not implemented the 40% quota. Lockers are grabbing jobs, a new college is not a university, this ruling party is not making any difference.
He said that half of the population of this city was eaten, the population of three crores was halved, there were 209 union councils in the city, but despite the increase of 7 million population, only 36 union councils were increased instead of 150 in the city, one hundred and ninety one. A thousand votes is where our voter is, a UC is built on eleven thousand which according to them is their vote bank, when elections are held, the police, their presiding officer, are taking their ballot papers themselves.
Mustafa Kamal said that they are sitting on the streets and beating, did our forefathers build this country so that you don’t give us our rights, you take away our right to live, but now we have decided not to live like this. Now it will be decided whether we will get our rights or the business of the government will not work in this country. When people can protest for power, why can’t MQM protest for their rights?
He addressed the workers and asked if they are ready for the sit-in because it could be indefinite, it is not known how many days they have to sit for the rights of the city. Dharna Hoga Dharna Hoga’ slogans were raised.
Mustafa Kamal said that workers should think, defeat is not an option, we have to give to win the sit-in. We have to speak our mind peacefully, we don’t know how long the sit-in will last, just prepare. To sit round the clock’.
