Altaf Hussain praises the steps in NWFP taken by Federal Government
Altaf Hussain praises the efforts and steps taken by the Federal Government in improving law and order situation and establishing the writ of the state in NWFP and tribal areas
MQM Founder & Leader Mr Altaf Hussain praised the efforts and steps taken by the Federal Government in improving the law and order situation and establishing the writ of the State in NWFP and tribal areas. He said that the law and order situation in Swat and tribal areas has deteriorated, which has now spread to Peshawar and its surrounding areas. As a result, the people of these areas are very concerned and feel that the Government must take concrete steps to improve law and order situation in the province of NWFP. He said that if the agreement between Government and various groups would have been honoured and the writ of the Government would not have been challenged then we would not have been facing this situation today. He said that the MQM has always believed to resolve all issues through peaceful dialogues and to avoid the use of force. However, it is evident that if the writ of the State is challenged then the State will take action to restore the writ, maintain peace and improve the law and order situation. He praised the Government for taking necessary steps to curb terrorism, maintain law and order and provide security to the life and property of its citizens. He also praised the Federal Interior Advisor Rehman Malik for his relentless efforts towards tackling terrorism and establishing peace in the region.
