Altaf Hussein Versus Allama Amin Shaheedi
(Hafiz Muhammad Noman, Karachi)
Majlis Wahdat-ul-Muslimeen (MWM)
General Secretary Allama Amin Shaheedi on Monday night along with the bereaved
families, who lost their dearer ones in Hazara town explosion, announced
unanimously that the sit-ins should be ended all over the country.
Amazingly, the leader of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Mr. Altaf Hussein
immediately responded and castigated on the decision of ending the sit-ins
saying that the decision was against the feelings of the bereaved families. He
specially criticized on Allama Amin Shaheedi as he used the words “some Shia
elders’.
Allama Amin Shaheedi, after Altaf’s statement, reacted strongly and asked, ‘When
did MQM became the well wisher of Shia community?’ He said that MQM should
firstly play its role to stem target killing of Shia community in Karachi.
Shia community, in Karachi, is considered to be the huge supporter of MQM and it
can be said that if Shia community did not cast their votes for MQM, it would be
difficult for the MQM to succeed in elections to rule over Karachi.
As Altaf Hussein criticized on Allama Amin Shaheedi and the Allama reacted
strongly against the statement, made by MQM leader, it feels that Shia community
has placed confidence in Allama Amin Shaheedi because after the announcement of
ending the sit-ins, approximately all the sit-ins were ended. On the other hand,
some of the Shia people placed their confidence in Altaf Hussein and it feels
that MQM can lose its voters in the upcoming elections.
