LONDON (UK) Feb 3 (ANI): In a significant development, the leader of the Mohajir Qaumi Movement or MQM, Altaf Hussain has called for self determination for the Mohajir people - virtually signalling a plan to break away from Pakistan. The MQM said that Pakistan’s Military repressive actions date back to decades and the non-Punjabi nationals like Baloch, Pashtuns, Sindhis and Kashmiris settled in different provinces of the country are enforced to live like slaves and have been facing genocide and hence these nations have been completely irked and now want freedom from Punjabi establishment’s repressive dominance. In particular, the Mohajirs are fully repressed and they are restricted to involve in politics and welfare acts. MQM being their sole representative party and Mr Hussain, who is their sole beloved leader, are being placed under an embargo. The MQM founder has now demanded the right for the self-determination in Pakistan under the aegis of the UN. Not only this, he has also invited the other oppressed nations, the Pashtoon, the Baloch and others to join him in the demand for the right of self-determination and he kept the leadership option open saying that he is not eager of being the leader of the movement for the self-determination right and anyone from the oppressed nations could choose to the leader of it.
