MQM to challenge commissionerate system at every level
Updated at: 1851 PST, Sunday, July 10, 2011
KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) strongly rejecting the governments decision of reviving the commissionerate system in Sindh on Sunday, vowed to challenge it at every level, Geo News reported.
MQM Deputy Convener Dr. Farooq Sattar said this while addressing a press conference after simultaneous meetings of MQMs Coordination Committee London and Karachi.
MQM strongly opposes and rejects the revival of Commissionerate System in Sindh and it will go to courts and people to raise its voice against the dictatorial step, he said, adding the governments decision will also be challenged and opposed in the National and provincial assemblies.
He termed the restoration of Commissionerate System by the government as a conspiracy to deprive the people of their basic rights and aimed only at strengthening the existing feudal system across the country.
He went on to say that the CS system negates the very norms and spirit of democracy.
Comparing the CS system with the local government set up, Dr. Farooq Sattar said the LG system ensured transfer of power to the grass roots level and offered a best way to resolve peoples issues by public representatives with direct access to citizens.
Democracies all over the world have been making a successful use of local government system.
He said the Commissionerate System was first enforced in British colonial era and only protected the interests of two percent elites. Now this system is non-existent even in Britain, he added.
Anees Qaimkhani says MQM would challenge the governments decision in all the courts and strongly oppose it in National and provincial assemblies
It is an attempt to break Pakistan and to divide Sindh and Karachi, it is a conspiracy against Sindi and Urdu speaking communities, he maintained.
