KARACHI....16 April 2009 Convener Coordination Committee of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and MNA Dr. Farooq Sattar Thursday said his party opposed the “so-called” Nizam-e-Adl Regulation in the larger interest of the country. Addressing a press conference here, Dr. Sattar said MQM informed the nation about what he called the serious consequences of implementation of Nizam-e-Adl. “We were Muslims yesterday and we are Muslims today and are well-aware of the teachings of our religion,” he asserted. Islamabad is only a few kilometers from Buner and after Swat it is now the turn of Islamabad, he feared. He was of the view that making agreement with the elements who perpetrated the crime of public flogging of a young girl in Swat is tantamount to giving permission to carry out illegal activities openly. “If these people call themselves Muslims then all other Pakistanis should stop calling them so,” he added. The MQM leader said by carrying out a suicide attack in Charsadda the Taliban celebrated victory of their violence-ridden campaign which has nothing to do with peace. “Their Shariah does not allow them laying down arms and those who support this deal have actually betrayed their voters,” Dr. Farooq Sattar maintained. MNA Haider Abbas Rizvi, on the occasion, said Chaudhry Nisar has violated the Parliamentary traditions by issuing a statement against MQM. He termed the statements against MQM Chief Altaf Hussain as regrettable. Dr. Farroq Sattar said now we also reserve a right to issue statements against Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif.

Altaf said that the MQM was not against implementation of Shariah rather it opposed the Taliban Shariah in Malakand division.He said the extremist elements were actively engaged in sabotaging the peace and law and order in Swat and its adjoining areas and challenged the writ of the government.
