Pakistan can make progress if nepotism is eliminated: MQM chief
Staff Report
KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has said that Pakistan could progress and become a country having a bright future if nepotism, dishonesty, corruption, loot, bribery and cheating are eliminated.
Talking to in-charge and joint in-charge of the International Secretariat of the MQM in London, Mustafa Azizabadi and Muhammad Ashfaq respectively, he congratulated them on their new responsibilities and advised them to take decisions purely on merit and not on nepotism, friendship, and personal likes and dislikes. He asked them to follow the party’s discipline and principles.
Hussain regretted that the system of merit had ceased to exist in Pakistan and appointments in government departments were being done on the basis of nepotism and personal likes and dislikes. It was because of this that all government institutions and departments were in a state of decline.
He asserted that the future of the country could brighten only if the malaises of corruption, cheating and loot were eliminated and judiciary was made independent and kept away from personal likes and dislikes.
Hussain said that it was equally necessary for the future of the country that the decisions of the parliament were motivated by general public welfare instead of protecting the interests of the majority part in the parliament. The majority party should keep the national interest above the party interest and it should work for the betterment of the people of Pakistan.
He advised the office-bearers of the International Secretariat of the MQM to convey to the coordination committee, elected representatives and elected representatives of the party to create awareness among the masses as to how the country could make advancement.Courtesy www.dailytimes.com.pk
