Altaf criticises NA for endorsing ‘Talibanisation Bill’



Extending support to the Nizam-e Adal regulation by the National Assembly is in fact tantamount to accepting the “Talibanisation Bill,” Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has said.“The Muttahida Qaumi Movement will never accept or support this regulation at any cost because this law has been put up by a certain group in the name of so-called Nizam-e-Adal regulation,” he said on Tuesday while delivering a telephonic address from London at a meeting held at the Muttahida Qaumi Movement headquarters, Nine-Zero. “Two types of judicial systems cannot be run in the country and by supporting such a regulation, the National Assembly has paved the way for running parallel judicial systems in the country.”The situation will have serious repercussions and from now every sect will try to bring its own judicial system in the country, Hussain said. “We have serious reservations over the Niazm-e-Adal regulation and we regret that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement was not allowed to discuss or debate the matter in the House, which is against parliamentary rules and regulations,” he said.The Nizam-e-Adal regulation is also against the provisions of the 1973 Constitution and various political and religious parties have their reservations in this regard, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief maintaned.He said that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement will soon hold a convention of Ulema of all sects to discuss the Nizam-e-Adl Bill at length. “The Muttahida Qaumi Movement is not against Shariat, but against Talibanisation,” he said.Hussain declared that Muttahida Qaumi Movement had been opposing Talibanisation and will continue doing so, and this is “the final decision of the party.”Hussain also appealed to people to speak out against Talibanisation. He paid tributes to Muttahida Qaumi Movement legislators for opposing this regulation.
