MQM concerns genuine: Awan

KARACHI: Federal Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Babar Awan Tuesday said MQM chief Altaf Hussain’s concerns were genuine and that he fully agreed with the MQM leadership. Speaking to media representatives after attending a ceremony held in connection with ‘Past, Present and Future’ organised by Sindh Madrassah ul Islam, Awan said MQM chief Altaf Hussain’s concerns were genuine and that he fully agreed with the MQM leadership, adding President Asif Ali Zardari has assured that all ‘grievances’ of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) will be addressed.

MQM has expressed its concern over the socioeconomic problems of the people and similar are the views of the government, he added. Awan said the government was determined to solve the problems of the masses during the next two years. Awan also praised JUI-F chief Fazlur Rehman and said that Rehman played a constructive role in the coalition government.
“Difference of opinion is part of the democratic process and we do not believe in the policy of dictation,” Awan pointed out. He said the government was in no haste and it would complete its tenure and present a people friendly budget in the next two years. To a question about the decisions taken recently by the judiciary, Awan said the present government will always respect the judiciary. About the anti-corruption drive of the present government, he said a major move was in the offing to catch big bank defaulters. -Online
