Altaf Hussain demands representation of GB in NA and Senate

GILGIT: Gilgit-Baltistan should be given representation in the lower and upper house of the country, said Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain. Addressing a press conference on telephone from London Altaf Hussain said the day is not far when the people of this region would enjoy representation in the National Assembly and the Senate.

Mr. Altaf said the MQM is against the feudal system and trying to eliminate the corrupt political culture. He said he wants to come back but members of the Rabita Committee advise him to stay in London. Altaf Hussain directed members of the National Assembly belonging to the MQM to raise voice on the floor of the House on national issues. Declaring the MQM a liberal party, Altaf Hussain wished sectarian harmony in Gilgit-Baltistan.
