ISLAMABAD: Stung by the privilege motion submitted by PML-N to the National Assembly Secretariat against Altaf Hussain, the MQM on Wednesday submitted three similar motions referring to the PML-N’s alleged contacts with the army and its governance in Punjab.
The motions, submitted in a tit-for-tat move, carried signatures of all the 25 MQM members and were handed over to the National Assembly secretary by the party’s parliamentary leader and federal minister, Dr Farooq Sattar. He was accompanied by Haider Abbas Rizvi, Farhat Khan, Salahuddin and Sajid Ahmed.
The PML-N had submitted a privilege motion on the contentious remarks made by the MQM chief while addressing his party workers on Monday, urging army generals to take ‘martial law-like action’ against ‘corrupt politicians’.
In their motion, PML-N members had termed Mr Hussain’s remarks “against the democratic norms and democratic institutions”.
The MQM leaders, in their first motion, stated that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif had breached the privilege of the house by hiding a secret deal with the military regime under which he was allowed to live in exile in Saudi Arabia even though he had been convicted by a court.
Through the second privilege motion, the Muttahida questioned the motive behind a secret meeting Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Opposition Leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had with the army chief, Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
It alleged the PML-N has always been in “good relations with the army” and that Shahbaz Sharif and Chaudhry Nisar had never taken the nation into confidence about these meetings.
It is waste of time. /What should be discussed and given priority to ways to eliminate corruption, relief for flood victims and their rehabilitation and how to end exploition of feudal, plutocrats, profiteers and reduce inflation and cost of living and progress on the ways to fight terrorism and extremism.
How the objective about these and other problems can be found and what to do about fake degree holders and ending corruption from educational and other institution.
PPP and PML(N) have louted the principles of republic government by dismissing Local Body Governments before having a clear cut infrastructure and putting the election in cold storage.

MQM shows its power every-time when they feel the smell of trouble. They start their blame-game but never tell why did they made that crime or illegal action. They did that on 12th may 2007 when CJ is about to visit Karachi. They put a ban on Imran Khan to enter in Sindh. I think they are the biggest gangsters among all political parties.
