| MQM Quaid Altaf Hussain has urged the government to eliminate hideouts of terrorists and sectarian seminaries. "People should boycott those religious leaders who cover up terrorism," he appealed, addressing public telephonically. He condemned Data Darbar attacks and said that terrorist attacks are a reaction to US policy and drone attacks so 'the US is equally partner in subversive activity at Data Darbar.' "I get used to tell the nation about malicious intentions of terrorists but my voice was not heard. Every time, some political elements began propaganda against me: Altaf Hussain is spreading panic among people etc. I repeatedly demanded that security of three holy shrines including Data Darbar, Bibi Pak Daman and Bari Imam should be beefed up," he said. He said Hazrat Ali Hajveri was such a religious personality that his devotees hail from all over the world. "An attack on his shrine is a great tragedy not only for Pakistan but for the entire Islamic world. The perpetrators cannot escape the wrath of Allah," he said. "I beg people in the name of holy saints of Islam that they should make arrangements for their security at their own because government has completely failed to protect them," Altaf said, adding that if the government could not act upon policies against terrorism it should better quit. He said the youth of Pakistan should be awakened now or else the existence of the country would be jeopardized. Altaf said that he would continue to make struggle against terrorism until his last breath. He asked the people not to get provoked on the matter as they should refrain from damaging public property. |
