Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain on Wednesday announced the instigation of a reformation process within the party ranks, DawnNews reported.
Speaking to members of the partys Rabita (coordination) Committee via telephone from London, the MQM chief prohibited collecting any sort of donations from the general public. He said there is a ban imposed on funds collection, adding that the basic party membership of culpable worker/workers will be revoked upon any such complaints.
Hussain said the MQM follows zero tolerance policy when it comes to China Cutting, settlements and land-grabbing. There is no room in MQM for people involved in these unlawful activities, he added.
The MQM chief urged any party activist, involved in land and property grabbing or sale/purchase of houses, apartments or plots, to voluntarily resign from the party membership.
Otherwise, he added, upon receiving any such complaint, party membership of the guilty worker will be terminated.
Meanwhile the Supreme Court on Wednesday adjourned hearing of a constitutional petition against Altaf Hussain, the chief of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), while pointing out errors in the petition and directed the petitioner to resubmit it before the court.
The petition was filed by the leaders of Watan Party against Hussain praying the court to put a ban on the functioning of MQM in Pakistan and its chiefs broadcasts and telecasts also be banned by the apex court.
A three-judge bench, comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Chaudhry Ejaz Afzal and Justice Gulzar Ahmed, heard the petition.
During the short hearing, the bench pointed out several technical errors and omissions in the petition and directed the petitioners to re-submit it.
The court also directed the petitioner to verify the status of MQM with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to ascertain who the actual head of the party was and adjourned further hearing of the case for a week.
On Tuesday night, Altaf Hussain had also disbanded his partys Karachi Tanzeemi (organising) Committee citing hooliganism during his speech on Sunday morning.Agencies
