Altaf says Nawaz broke CoD
HYDERABAD: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain said Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif broke the Charter of Democracy (CoD) by supporting the restoration of the deposed judges; he is lying and it is his moral duty to burn out the CoD in front of people. Addressing a public gathering of women under MQM banner, Altaf Hussain said Nawaz Sharif should look at himself instead of expressing reservations over MQM character, adding Sharif signed CoD with Benazir Bhutto, which mentioned that recommendations for the appointment of judges of higher judiciary would be prepared through a commission headed by a chief justice, who never took oath under PCO. ‘CoD was signed on May14, 2006 and Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry and his companion judges were sacked on November 3, 2007,’ he said adding, ‘Nawaz Sharif now breaking CoD by supporting the restoration of judges.’ He proposed to Asif Ali Zardari to be wary of Nawaz Sharif. He said his party would never undertake such an action that would lead to confrontation, adding that every step by MQM would be aimed at the prosperity of the province and the country. He maintained that his party would side with them only if they bring such judges who never took oath under PCO. Altaf Hussain said MQM never begged for the power and will very gladly sit on the opposition benches. He congratulated the people of Hyderabad for making Haq Parast candidates successful in the recent polls. Altaf said women have active role than more than that of men in the victory of MQM candidates in recent elections. MQM obtained above 25 million votes in Sindh, it means that Hyderabad is city of Altaf Hussain, adding the seats of his party increased, whereas the graph of other parties came down. Commenting on standpoint of Nawaz Sharif over the restoration of the deposed judges, MQM Chief said, being a public leader, Nawaz Sharif should refrain from making a fool of the nation.
