KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief, Altaf Hussain, Wednesday questioned the silence of the Pakistan army and the ISI on the US operation to take out al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, in Abbottabad.
He called on Pakistan’s rulers to take the country into confidence regarding the facts behind the killing of the world’s most-wanted terrorist.
Altaf urged President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani to call a round-table conference of political and religious parties within the next 48 hours and brief them about the situation. He said that chiefs of all three armed forces and ISI chief, Ahmad Shuja Pasha, should also be called to the meeting.
He demanded that participants of the conference take the nation into confidence about the US raid and killing of Osama. “Under the prevailing circumstances, all countries are criticising the Pakistani government and security agencies. On the one hand, the president of the world’s super power and his aides were watching this live operation inside Pakistan and on the other, our government was busy with oath-taking ceremonies,” he noted.
The MQM chief also criticised Prime Minister Gilani for going ahead with his tour to France at this critical time.
