THE IDEOLOGY OF MUTTAHIDA QUAMI MOVEMENT (MQM)

Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) believes in Realism and Practicalism.

Acceptance of reality with an open heart is Realism, a concept based uponthe philosophy of its Founder and Leader Mr. Altaf Hussain. Based on

Realism positive achievement made through ideologically supportedpragmatic programs is called Practicalism.

The short history of Pakistan will show that the country has been ruled

throughout by feudal lords, waderas and bureaucrats belonging to the twoper cent privileged population of the country. This class dominates the

countrys political life, the administrative services, the militaryestablishments, the economy and the general decision making process, while

the 98 per cent under-privileged population is denied its rightful share in theexercise of political and economic power in running the affairs of the state.Being politically disadvantaged and economically handicapped this sector of

the society is unable to find a place in the assemblies and the corridors ofpower in the country. As a consequence, it remains perpetually deprived and

alienated.

It just plays second fiddle to the ruling class. It is obliged to vote for them,make up the crowd in their political gatherings and processions, raise

slogans and resort to appreciative clapping to their soulless and hackneyedspeeches, containing promises which are never meant to be fulfilled.

According to the Constitution of Pakistan, every citizen has the right to

participate in elections and represent the people in the assemblies. Howeverthe two per cent privileged class has made the entry of the remaining

population to the assemblies well nigh impossible. Lavish expenditures on

political campaigning have rendered elections as a rich mans game in whichthe less fortunate class cannot compete. All major political parties routinely

voice sympathy and concern for the poor but refuse to accommodate themin the assemblies and national power structure. Thus the poor workers

despite sincere work and sacrifices remain perpetual bystanders.

In the above circumstances, therefore, real democratic culture could not beestablished in Pakistan. Real democracy means the rule of the majority or in

other words Government of the people, by the people, for the people. Butstrangely in Pakistan even in the name of democracy, the same two per cent

privileged class manages to induct its members into the assemblies and

other positions of power, while the 98 per cent of the lower and middle classpopulation is totally deprived of its genuine representation.


2/28

The democratic system has not developed strong roots in Pakistan, as thetwo per cent privileged class now ruling the country has neither any concern

for the masses nor any genuine love for the democratic institutions. Theirprimary objective is to remain in power and protect their interests at all

costs.

Naturally, therefore, people belonging to such a mindset neither resistundemocratic and unconstitutional activities in the country nor feel any

compunction in readily accepting and recognising illegal governments, so

long as their personal interests are protected and they are also allowed ashare in the booty.

If we look at the record of the various governments of Pakistan since itsinception, we will easily notice that be it a democratic government or martial

regime, it has always been monopolised by the same two per cent privileged

class of the country. As a clever move, this class has inducted its membersinto all major political parties of the country. This ensures their permanent

link with the power irrespective of which party is in the government at agiven time. This monopolistic plan of the two per cent privileged class is the

main cause of the instability in the democratic institutions of the country.

The twoper cent ruling class mainly comprises of the feudal lords, Whilethe remaining 98 per cent population consists of the poor , oppressed and

deprived ones. It is now for the people of Pakistan to judge and decide as tohow this small self-centred two per cent ruling class could solve the

problems faced by the 98 per cent. Isolated and insulated from the masses,

this class is totally unaware of the sufferings, agonies, anxieties as well as

the aspiration and hopes of the poor and oppressed people. The livingstandards and the life style of the privileged class are poles apart from theway of life of the less fortunate and alienated people. In fact there is hardly

any meeting point between the two of them. The members of this privileged

class spend millions of rupees to get elected to the national and provincialassemblies. Hence, their first priority on coming to power is to recover their

capital spent on the election campaign, of course, along with compoundinterest and dividends. They have little time and energy for resolving the

problems of their constituencies. For them, power and privileges are themain objective in coming into politics, they do not hesitate to compromise

our principles and ideologies and willingly indulge in all kinds of

undemocratic practices in order to maintain their hold on the establishment.

As the elected people from the elite class on reaching the corridors of power

work only for the interest of the twoper cent population, the masses who

elected them find their problems unresolved. They are consequentlybecoming more rich. They are accumulating wealth with both hands. New

land holdings are being acquired, prestigious bungalows, villas are being


3/28

purchased within the country and abroad, and factories are beingestablished with dubiously acquired capital.

MQM, therefore, feels strongly that Pakistan can never prosper unless the

prevailing corrupt political, economic and social system is brought to an end.

It is certain that under the existing set up, the people of Pakistan cannotmove ahead towards prosperity nor can there be any stability in thedemocratic system. It is possible only when the 98 per cent poor and middle

class people get united and adequately represented in the assemblies and

places of power through qualified, honest and committed people belongingto their own class.

The under privileged majority in the country should therefore realise that ifthey want deliverance from the clutches of the exploiting class and also wish

to see the country stable and prosperous then they should elect

representatives from their own ranks. Prima facie, it is a difficult task aswithout wealth any success in elections is next to impossible. But this is

really not true. MQM has shown the way.

In the political history of Pakistan, MQM has demolished this antiquatedsystem of thinking. Accepting the facts and realities as they exist in the

country, MQM adopted the path of Practicalism and finally made abreakthrough. It succeeded in sending a large number of lower and middle

class educated members to the provincial and national assemblies from

Karachi, Hyderabad and other urban centres of Sindh without any monetaryburden on the part of the incumbents. MQM feels that having shown the way

the poor and middle class individuals in other regions of the country shouldalso try to reach the assemblies. But to achieve this, it is necessary that the

lower and middle classes of the country should adopt the MQM philosophy of

Realism and Practicalism. They should be ready to make a concertedstruggle and be prepared for sacrifices. Once the lower and middle class

dominates the assemblies, we shall be able to bring about true democracy inthe country and solve the problems of the oppressed masses.

WHAT DOES MQM WANT?

Ideologically speaking, MQM is not a proponent of Socialism, Communism orunbridled Capitalism. It only believes in Realism and Practicalism. By

adopting this philosophy it desires to establish an economic system based on

free market economy in accordance with the spirit of democracy. MQM seeksdrastic reforms in all sectors including agriculture, industry, commerce,

education, health, defence, finance and judiciary. These are consideredessential for the solidarity, security, progress and prosperity of the country

as well as for the welfare of the common man. MQM wants to see total


4/28

elimination of corruption, bribery, injustices, tyranny, exploitation, illiteracy,unemployment, poverty, drug trafficking and other such social evils. It aims

to introduce a comprehensive program to make Pakistan prosperous andstable, and create a just society in which opportunity to progress and

prosper is available to all, without discrimination.

While the MQM primarily espouses the cause of the 98 per cent poor andmiddle classes, it does also recognise the twoper cent elite class as useful

citizens of the country. It has no intention to take away their legally acquired

wealth. Its objective is to evolve on the principle of Realism and Practicalisma just system in which all classes of the country should feel themselves fully

secured. Without taking any thing away from the men of status, the poorand middle class people should have the opportunity to come out of the

quagmire of poverty through merit and hard work. Additionally, the systemshould be free from exploitation, hatred and injustices. Furthermore,

adherence to any particular cast, creed, language, ethnicity, sex, sect and

religion, should in no way prejudice any ones fundamental or human rights.

DETAILS OF MANIFESTO

MQM has issued its 18-point Charter of Demand seeking the rights of all the

citizens of Pakistan along with the rights of the Mohajirs. MQM herebypresents its manifesto to the people of Pakistan for the prosperity of

Pakistan and the welfare of its people. MQM urges the people of Pakistan to

extend their full support to the party to help it correct the wrong doings ofthe past 50 years and to build a new Pakistan based on solid ideological

foundations and true democratic traditions.

1. NATIONAL INTEGRATION

MQM wants to see national integration flourish and is of the view that

without establishing a just and equitable system, national integration andthe concept of Pakistan as one nation can never be achieved. MQM is of the

view that mere slogans and sermons cannot consolidate and concretise

national integration. To achieve this object all unjust policies and laws haveto be abolished. It is through these discriminatory laws that injustice and

exploitation is being perpetuated on the basis of language, ethnicity, culture,territory, nationality and religion against certain segments of the society.

Whenever any class of people is unjustly treated, it gives rise among them a

sense of deprivation and alienation which in turn weakens the bond ofnational integration. MQM therefore desires that all such unjust laws and

policies should be dispensed with allowing all citizens of the country to enjoythe benefits of justice. Only then a feeling of belonging and a sense of

national integration would flourish.


5/28

MQM wholeheartedly accepts the cultural, linguistic, regional, racial andreligious identities of all citizens of the state. To deny such distinctions and

identifications is tantamount to denying reality. Realism and Practicalismfurther assert that by accepting all these identities, the injustices can be

eliminated thereby bringing the various communities of the country closer to

each other. National integration will also strengthen as a consequence. It istherefore imperative to recognise and accept the constitutional rights of

Sindhi, Punjabi, Pakhtoon, Mohajir, Baloch, Saraiki, Brohi, Makrani and allother nationalities, fraternities, lingual, cultural and religious units to provide

them justice so that the fervour of national integration could grow and

kinship develop.

MQM desires that by mutual co-operation in the spirit of give and take and

with consensual approach, steps be taken to formulate and execute suchdevelopment programs by the federal and provincial governments in which

every region of the country is able to participate and effectively share its

benefits and that no class of the populace should feel left out and bypassed.

2. EDUCATION

In todays world, education is the basic and most important factor to achieve

progress for a nation. Well-educated nations in the world enjoy dominanceover other nations. Nations lacking in education cannot achieve

advancement. It is deplorable that since the inception of Pakistan successive

governments paid very little attention to education. Even today the countrysbudget provides meager sums for education, and as a result more than 70

per cent of the population of our country has remained illiterate.

If we desire to see Pakistan a developed, prosperous and dignified countrythen we have to make full use of our resources and ensure education is

made available to every citizen as without education no one can expect thecountry to be progressive and prosperous.

MQM also wants to make education easily available throughout the country

by making full use of all the available resources on an emergency basis,whereby within five years the rate of literacy could be enhanced, to at least

70 per cent. This target is not impossible. With determination and goodintentions desired results can be achieved. Korea and some other under-

developed countries are a good example to follow. In this connection MQM

wants to take the following steps:

In all towns and villages a network of schools and colleges needs to be set-

up and for this purpose not only should government resources be utilised on

a large scale but also non-governmental organisations and other private


6/28

sector institutions should be encouraged in setting up the educationalinstitutions throughout the country. With a view to achieving this objective,

mutual co-operation among such organisations and institutions should beorganised by forming a common platform under the governments

supervision and help. By granting more powers and providing enhanced

resources to the elected local bodies their role in the education, up toprimary and secondary level should be increased and the framework and

scope of these institutions to be enlarged and used to full potential. As anadditional step, the federal and provincial governments should provide

grants to the elected local bodies. The education up to primary level should

be made compulsory and free; and all the textbooks should be provided freeof cost to primary students.

The prices of secondary and higher education textbooks need to beconsiderably reduced, so as to enable even the poor families to meet the

expenditure on education with less burden. The educated people in general

and youth in particular should be encouraged to form voluntaryorganisations to help and launch a crusade against illiteracy and campaign to

ensure education for all. Allocation in the budget for education to beincreased adequately to achieve these goals.

Private educational institutions need to be encouraged to ensure their

educational standards and by making legislation so as to upgrade and notallow them to become only businesses and profit making organisations. Merit

should be the predominant factor in selection as MQM considers that

education is a social service and should not become a trade.

A net work of libraries should be established in all the cities and towns of the

country. These libraries should be linked with each other through a well-

connected system, including mobile libraries for the villages outside urbanareas, to provide benefit to rural areas.

MQM wishes to establish new universities, colleges, medical colleges,engineering colleges, technical institutes and other higher educational

institutions in accordance with the increasing need of the population in a

systematic and planned manner, on a regular basis. The present distributionof grants, given by the University Grants Commission to the universities of

the country should be made fair and equitable.

In every part of the country, especially in villages, towns and small cities,more and more vocational training centres should be established so that the

younger generation and women can acquire useful skills. Special measuresmust be taken to develop scientific research and in this regard the private

sector should be encouraged in an organised manner.


7/28

Elimination of dual education system

The educational system of our country suffers from dual standards. In our

country, advance education seems to be the right of children belonging to

the rich ruling elite and bureaucrats, while the education system and the

facilities for the middle class and down trodden people are that of secondand third grade. Education for the rural population has been made difficultwhere it is considered to be the right of the children of feudal and tribal lords

only. MQM believes that no one should be deprived of a good standard of

education and therefore, we have to abolish this dual system of educationand standardise the education system throughout the country. MQM believes

that whilst Pakistan belongs to all, then why is the educational standard forall Pakistanis not equal?

Unfortunately, the fees and expenditure of a good standard school is beyond

the reach of the 98 per cent poor and middle class people. The standard ofeducation of the schools where the children of 98 per cent poor and middle

class receive their education is extremely backward in comparison withprivate and grammar schools and other schools.

MQM wants the education standards of government and municipal schools

where the 98 per cent of poor and middle class people of the country sendtheir children for education to be raised to the standard of Grammar

Schools. This is not beyond the realm of possibilities because MQM as an

experiment has made some municipal schools in Karachi on an equal footingwith top class schools.

MQM understands that to raise the standard of education, the method of

appointment of teachers and increase in their salaries is vital. MQM wants tobring the pay scale of the teachers to a level that not only the good and

qualified teachers are easily available but they should also feel proud injoining the teaching profession and enjoy a comfortable standard of living. In

order to achieve this objective the teachers should be graded separatelyfrom other government employees.

It is necessary to point out here that government affairs and its

administration are being conducted in the English language. In our country,owing to the dual educational system, the medium of instruction is usually in

two languages. In State schools from primary level onwards the medium of

instructions is usually Urdu, commonly known as Urdu Medium Schools.Whereas in good quality, expensive and private schools the medium for

instructions is always English, these schools are termed as English MediumSchools. Invariably, the government and administrative jobs go to the

people who have knowledge of English and for top positions only those


8/28

people are appointed who have fluency in English language. The majority ofthe population in the country gets its education in Urdu language and does

not know the English language at all or certainly does not have the fluencyin English language. For this reason a great majority of the population is

deprived of applying for top jobs despite the fact that they are quite capable

of carrying out the functions. They are deprived of these positions becauseof the dual standards of the education system. In order to involve the

majority of the public in all modes of administration so they can participatein the running of the country, the dual standards of education has to be

eliminated. The medium of education should be the same in English medium

schools and Urdu medium schools with a view to getting rid of thesuperiority which the English medium schools have taken for granted over

the Urdu medium schools. Having removed the difference between the Urduand English medium schools, MQM wants to introduce an education system

where all citizens participate equally without any sense of deprivation so

they can utilise their abilities to the full and everyone would have the rightto qualify and hold any suitable position.

3. HEALTH

Good health and good education is necessary for a strong and healthysociety. In order to provide the poor with medical facilities it is essential that

from small towns to small villages and small cities to the big cities in allareas and localities a network of small health units should be installed.

These units should become the centre for health and in this way at State

level every citizens health and care would be ensured. In other words a

system taking the form of National Health Scheme would be established.

In every district at least one government hospital should be set-up and in

rural areas health centres comprising of at least 20 beds should beestablished wherein maternity services would also be provided.

With a view to removing the shortage of essential medicines and a reductionin prices, private investment and local manufacturing in pharmaceutical

industries should be encouraged.

To provide medical care for the poor people, non-governmental, social andwelfare organisations and institutions from the private sector should be

encouraged. MQM wants the present conditions of State controlled hospitals

and health centres to improve. Furthermore, in order to improve thedeficiencies in administrative matters, the involvement of bureaucracy

should be minimised and the hospitals should be under the control ofprofessionals.


9/28

4. FOREIGN POLICY

MQM believes in an independent and non-aligned foreign policy and wishes

to promote close and friendly relations with neighbouring countries and the

rest of the world.

5. DEFENCE

MQM wants to strengthen the defence of the country by making it

unassailable. It is the MQMs view that immediate compulsory militarytraining should be introduced so that every citizen may share in the defence

of the country. Such policies should be formulated that will enable everyindividual of every region of the country to be recruited into the armed

forces for the defence of the country. MQM wants to make Pakistan self-

sufficient in the production of armaments for its own use.

6. JUDICIARY

The prevalent judicial system of our country is such that the poor oppressed

masses face enormous difficulties in obtaining justice. Invariably, lawsuitsdrag on indefinitely and as a consequence the accused has to stay in prison

for many years. Similarly, the person involved in litigation has to face great

hardships. For this reason thousands of innocent people are still languishingin jails awaiting their trials to conclude. It is, therefore, essential that the

people be provided inexpensive and expeditious justice. Hence the judicialsystem has to be organised on scientific and modern basis. The judicial

process and methodology should be simplified. The number of judges andcourts should be increased accordingly.

MQM has a firm belief in the independence of judiciary. Without independent

judiciary, a democratic society cannot develop. MQM wants to make judiciaryindependent of the administration.

MQM wants to abolish all the special courts from the country. All the cases

should be tried in the established courts of law. Special courts negate theconcept of independent judiciary. Because the judges are appointed by the

administration and their transfer and salaries are fixed by the government,

their services are used for political aims and objectives. The independence ofjudiciary and the principles of justice demand that all special courts are

abolished forthwith.

7. MEDIA


10/28

MQM believes in the independence of the press and is opposed to all suchpolicies which impede the freedom of press and news media. The

independence of the press and media is one of the indispensable elementsfor the development of a democratic society. MQM believes in positive and

constructive journalism and wishes to see the Press free from all

governmental and non-governmental shackles and restrictions. MQM alsowants to see the standard of living of journalists to improve along with other

people in Pakistan. MQM is totally against yellow journalism and wants thejournalists of the country to form an independent commission which would

effectively eliminate the curse of yellow journalism from the country.

MQM is against government control of the media and wants radio andtelevision to be freed from government control. These institutions should be

represented as the voice of the people and not the State or the Government.These institutions should play their role in reporting correctly, prepare the

people ideologically, and encourage them to form their own opinions.

8. HUMAN RIGHTS

MQM has a firm belief in human rights and demands that the fundamentalrights as incorporated in the Constitution of Pakistan must be fully

respected. Pakistan is facing embarrassment throughout the world due torepeated violations of the human rights by the successive governments.

MQM is of the view that all citizens of the country must be granted equal

rights irrespective of their cast, colour, creed, race, language, religion,region, culture, faith, sect and sex or any political affiliation. In order to

check the violations of human rights, MQM wants judiciary to be independentand free. MQM wants at government level an independent effective

institution to be established that would investigate alleged violations and

breaches of human rights in the country. The institution must have theauthority to take action against any Government or the State functionary or

employee wherever necessary and to institute proceedings through the courtof law. From MQMs point of view, race, language, colour and region should

not be considered while appointing people for industry, trade and commerce,whether in government institutions or non-governmental organisations. The

criteria should be merit and merit alone for obtaining employment. MQM

wants to see the end of child labour and desires that realistic and practicalsteps are taken, and policies formulated, whereby child labour is wiped out

from the country forever.

9. RELIGION

MQM wants to establish a system in the society whereby all citizens may

lead their lives in accordance with their religion, faith and belief. MQM is


11/28

against exploitation and injustices in the name of religion, faith and sect. Italso aims at providing full protection to religious minorities.

10. MINORITY RIGHTS

MQM wants the rights of minorities in the country to be protected like allother citizens and they should be allowed to live honourably. The genuine

grievances of minorities should be redressed.

11. FEUDAL SYSTEM

It is MQMs view that without abolishing the feudal system, Pakistan cannot

progress. The country would go from bad to worse economically due to the

antiquated and tyrannical feudal system. That is why MQM wants to see theend of the feudal system in Pakistan.

Twice in the past, attempts were made to enforce agricultural reforms butbecause of the grip of the feudal oligarchy those reforms could not becarried out. It is, therefore, essential that the ceiling for landholding be

established and effective land reforms be implemented.

12. AGRICULTURE

With a view to dismantling the feudal system in Pakistan, MQM is in favour

of limiting the ownership of agricultural land. This is necessary to establishan egalitarian system in the country and until such time that the feudal

system is totally eliminated the following actions are necessary:

There has been an immense progress in the agricultural sector in theworld on a scientific basis but in our country agriculture is the most

outdated sector of its kind.

In our country 70 per cent of the total population is involved inagriculture but the poor peasants who cultivate the land are treated

like slaves. The feudal lords are the sole beneficiaries of the

agricultural produce. After their round the clock labour the poorpeasants get just about enough to survive.

In the development of the feudal culture many other problems havebeen created in the country. Due to the contemptuous feudal

mentality, hundreds and thousands of acres of land are not being

cultivated because the feudal have more land then they need and theycannot, and do not want to cultivate their entire holdings. They are

still not prepared to hand over their land to peasants for cultivation of


12/28

food and other necessities. The situation causes a great loss to thenation. Patriotism demands that whosoever holds surplus land and is

not in a position to put it under cultivation, they should either cultivatethis land in the interest of the country or distribute such surplus land

to the peasants free of cost or at an affordable price.

With this in mind, MQM wants the Government to take such steps thatthe landowners would cultivate all the land they possess. If they fail to

do so then a "non-cultivation tax" should be levied on every single

acre of land not cultivated and this tax should be collected for thebenefit of the peasants.

MQM wants that the government to take steps and ensure that everysingle inch of cultivatable land should be cultivated with a view to

increasing the agricultural productivity so that the nation becomes

self-sufficient in food and other agricultural produce. This would alsoenable us to export our agricultural produce.

To achieve this increase in agro-products, all available resources

should be put to use to mechanise agriculture on modern scientificmethods. In this regard the foremost objective of all concerned is to

provide education about agriculture to the peasants. To achieve this,the Government with the co-operation of non-governmental and social

organisations must start a campaign for adult education in villages for

the peasants and their families. In this regard there should be anappeal to educated young people to come forward voluntarily.

Moreover, some basic and easy courses on scientific farming are to bemade available to the peasants.

The development of industries in areas relating to agriculture should

be enhanced. For instance the fertiliser factories, agricultural machinetool factories and similar industries should be established in the rural

areas. For making the country self-sufficient in agricultural produce itis essential to raise the living standard of the peasants. MQM wants to

end the exploitation of peasants and stamp out the use of forced

labour which is tantamount to slavery in villages. To achieve this MQMwants peasants working on the land of feudal lords to be recognised by

the law as agriculture labour or farm labour. New labour laws shouldbe introduced in this regard and strictly enforced.

It is MQMs policy to provide peasants with a share of the agriculture

produce on similar grounds as the industrial labour in town gets ashare in the profits from industries.


13/28

MQM is in favour of levying tax on agricultural income and wants toimprove the system of collecting Ushr tax in the country. An effective

system of monitoring agricultural loans procured from Banks and otherfinancial institutions should be introduced. This is because the feudal

lords often use agricultural loans for their personal use rather than

agriculture.

Water logging, salinity and irrigation system

MQM desires that immediate attention must be paid to updating the

irrigation system and the cleansing of canals etc. to increase the agriculturalproduce. With the consensus of all provinces, and keeping in mind the

agreed formula for the distribution of water, new canals should be dug tocultivate barren land. A system for the disposal of the surplus water from

the canals is to be strengthened so that the water level should not rise.

A comprehensive plan needs to be introduced for solving the salinity andwater logging problems and in this connection the maximum number of tube

wells should be installed.

13. TRADE AND INDUSTRY

Industrial development and progress is an essential ingredient for theprosperity of the country. MQM is against the nationalisation of industries

and favours privatisation for healthy competition. MQM is not anti-capitalistor anti-industrialist but it does not want the accumulation of wealth in a few

hands only and thereby opposes monopoly and monopolistic trends insociety.

MQM is of the view that such policies should be formulated whereby

small industries are established and small investors are encouraged toparticipate without undue restrictions.

MQM wants to see cottage industries flourish in the country and wants

the Government to encourage the setting-up of such industries inevery city, town and village. Such policies should be adopted that a

network of cottage industries is established in every corner of the

country. This would result in a reduction in unemployment andenhancement of national productivity and income.

MQM wants to see Pakistan enter into the industrial era and transform

into a modern industrial society. For this purpose policies should beformulated which would readily establish industries throughout the


14/28

country without unreasonable legal impediments and bureaucraticinterference.

MQM wants to see that by introducing a "one-window operation"; the

people should have access to all the safeguards, advantages and

protection for the development of industry. The loans for the setting-up of industries should be made easier and simpler to obtain and landshould be made available at a reasonable rate. The taxation system

should be made simple and easy to understand.

A uniform industrial policy should be drafted for the entire country witha view to establishing industries in the rural areas. Special incentives

should be provided such as land at minimum rates and the supply ofwater and electricity to the industries in those rural areas. Also in rural

areas the industrialists and their employees must be provided with

safety and the protection of the law.

MQM desires to formulate such policies at government level whereby

safeguards should be provided for industries countrywide. By keeping

in mind the countrys prevailing conditions, international markets andthe countrys resources, policies based on Realism and Practicalism

should be formulated to increase exports and decrease reliance onimports, especially of readymade goods.

In order to develop domestic trade and industry, MQM wants to see effective

steps taken to check smuggling, and people who are involved in these

heinous activities should be severely punished.

14. LABOUR POLICY

MQM is against all kinds of exploitation of the labour force and wants toprovide them with their rights so that the labour force can live a peaceful

and prosperous life and play their role to increase the national productivity.

For the progress of the country and welfare of the labour force it isessential that the industrial sector be cleansed completely of the

prevailing contractual system.

MQM wants to see an end to every form of forced and bonded labourin the country. Similarly, the curse of child labour should come to an

end forthwith.

To improve the economic condition of the labour force and to inculcatea sense of belonging, the labour force needs to participate in the


15/28

profits by owning shares in the industrial units. This policy wouldundoubtedly increase productivity of the units.

MQM wants the salaries and wages of labourers to increase in

accordance with the cost of living and price rises in the country.

Policies should be formulated for the welfare of the labourers and theeducation of their children, and for the care of their families in case ofsickness and subsequent rehabilitation.

MQM wants to see an increase in productivity that can be achieved by

allowing labourers to join trade unions for their rights, so they canwork hard and actively play their role in the development of the

country.

MQM feels that there is a need for reforms in the labour laws of thecountry so that they can be made compatible with the laws of the ILO

(International Labour Organisation).

15. CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS

MQM is in favour of a parliamentary form of Government and wishes to see

elected institutions becoming strong, stable and authoritative. The legislation

should be made through the Parliament.

Since anomalies in the Constitution impede the continuity and stability of the

democratic framework and tend to harm and restrict the role of elected

parliament, MQM desires that inconsistencies and contradictions in theConstitution of Pakistan should be corrected through consensus as a result of

discussions with all the political parties in the country.

MQM wants to see a balance in the powers vested in the president and the

prime minister of the country and it considers that the spirit of democracy

requires that absolute power should not be in an individuals hand, be it thepresident or the prime minister.

MQM wants to provide constitutional protection for the elected local bodies

throughout the country. MQM wishes to have such amendments in the

constitution as may ensure reservation of seats for women in the Senate,National and Provincial Assemblies and Local Bodies on a permanent basis.MQM is of the view that every adult citizen of the country has a democratic

right to franchise. MQM strongly feels that the people of Federally

Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) must also have the same right as otherparts of the country where the elections are conducted on the basis of adult

franchise. At present the minimum voting age in our country is 21 years.


16/28

MQMs point of view is that if a person of 18 years is considered adult andissued an identity card, then he or she should also have a right to vote. The

constitution therefore needs to be amended to reduce the voting age to 18.

16. PROVINCIAL AUTONOMY

MQM is in favour of maximum provincial autonomy and, therefore, wishes

that power be transferred from the centre to the provinces and from the

province to the elected local bodies so that the people of every part of thecountry feel involved in government affairs.

On the question of provincial autonomy, MQM wants consultations anddiscussions to be held with the leaders of all the provinces to seek an

appropriate and reasonable solution acceptable to all regions of the country

without weakening the Federation.

17. LOCAL BODIES

With a view to solving problems at local level, thereby generating a feeling

of participation by the people of all regions in the country, MQM favoursmaking local elected bodies strong and more effective by promoting the

concept of "Local Self Government".

The elected local bodies are basic institutions for the welfare of the people.Such bodies are close to the people who have easy access to them; they can

be extremely helpful and effective in solving local problems. But these

institutions have very limited authority for solving problems of the commonman. Local bodies do not have the powers and are dependent on the

provincial government in this matter. In most cases they are obliged toobtain the consent of the provincial governments, so much so that even

their budget has to be approved by the provincial government. Theprovincial governments also have the powers to dissolve the local bodies at

any time. The result is that the local bodies are completely at their mercy

and, therefore, cannot serve the people appropriately.

MQMs view is that the system of government should be so organised that

the citizens of all regions can participate in the national affairs. It is,

therefore, essential that power and authority is transferred from federal levelto provincial level and from provincial level to the elected local bodies.

MQM wants to see the elected local governments strong, effective and

respected. It is therefore, necessary that the elected local bodies are allowedto exercise greater authority and financial independence in line with other

developed countries of the world.


17/28

MQM wants the local self-government system to be given constitutionalprotection. All major cities including Karachi and Lahore need to be given the

status of Autonomous Metropolitan Corporation as it is elsewhere in theworld. For the establishment of effective local bodies, it is essential to hold

elections in accordance with the stipulated terms of the Constitution.

18. PLANNING

For the progress of a country it is essential to have comprehensive planningon realistic lines. It is regrettable that there has been no focus on future

planning in our country since 1947. The government administration has beenrun on an ad-hoc basis and it is still the case today. For the development of

the country it is vital to get rid of this system and definite plans should beformulated for future development in all walks of life. In this connection it

will be necessary to re-organise the Planning Commission and make it more

independent and effective.

19. CENSUS AND ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES

To conduct the affairs of the country in an effective and efficient manner it is

essential that a correct census be carried out so that definite plans could bedrawn up on the basis of facts and figures. MQM wants that census to be

conducted in the country on a modern scientific basis, regularly. In this

regard it is also essential that past mistakes and injustices are not repeatedand shortcomings in the existing procedure are corrected. A Census has not

been conducted in the country for a long time. As a result the country has

been faced with new problems all the time. Although the countryspopulation has increased significantly, it is regrettable that the national and

provincial constituencies have neither been increased nor re-demarcated inaccordance with the rise in population. The number of people in every

constituency has increased and the elected representatives cannoteffectively deal with all the problems faced by the people. It is, therefore,

essential that the number of constituencies are increased and adjustmentsmade in the national and provincial assembly seats in accordance with the

revised population ratio in different constituencies.

20. POPULATION PLANNING

The rapid growth in the population is extremely harmful for the progress andprosperity of the country. Therefore, MQM wants immediate effective

measures to be taken to control the increase in population. Furthermore,new problems are being created due to migration of rural population to the

cities. In order to deal with this effectively, MQM wants to take realistic

measures to resolve these problems.


18/28

21. STRANDED PAKISTANIS

The stranded Pakistanis have been living a povertystricken life since 1971

in Bangladeshi camps. Their only crime is that they believed in patriotism

and they still want to return to their own country, Pakistan. It is regrettable

that successive governments did not pay attention to this humanitarian andnational problem. Some political leaders exploited the situation for theirpolitical gains and had no real interest in solving the problem of repatriation.

In fact, those who oppose the repatriation of stranded Pakistanis actually

oppose the Two Nation Theory which was the basis for the division of Indiaand creation of Pakistan. MQMs point of view is that the stranded people in

Bangladesh are patriotic Pakistanis and should be brought back home,forthwith.

22. KASHMIR

MQM gives full support to the right of self-determination to the people ofKashmir and wishes the Kashmir issue to be resolved in accordance with the

UN Resolutions and according to the will of the people of Kashmir. MQM

condemns the human rights violations in Kashmir and is of the opinion thatPakistan must use her influence at every level to obtain peaceful settlement

of this Issue.

23. WOMEN

MQM is in favour of equal rights for women. Without active participation of

the women in national affairs, the progress of the country is not possible. Itis, therefore, essential that women are encouraged to participate in all walksof life.

MQM wants seats for women to be reserved on permanent basis in theSenate, National and Provincial Assemblies and also in the Local Bodies. A

provision in this respect should be made in the Constitution.

MQM wants the repeal of all laws and wants to discontinue the policies,which tend to discriminate against women. Moreover, the curse of dowry

should be eliminated with effective legislation.

Vocational training centres should be set up throughout the country wherewomen can be taught and trained in different arts and skills. MQM wants to

create such a social structure and system in the country whereby women

could play their full role in national development.

24. UNEMPLOYMENT


19/28

In our country the problem of unemployment, especially of the educatedclass has become very serious. Hundreds of thousands of educated youths

are currently unemployed. MQM, therefore, wants steps to be taken to solvesuch an urgent problem with a long-term definite plan.

MQM wants that more and more industries should be established in thecountry, especially small and cottage industries to resolve the problem ofunemployment.

Vocational training centres should be set-up for the youngsters to learn

different skills to enable them to stand on their own feet.

To set-up small businesses, young people should be given soft term loans.

Indiscriminate down sizing of public sector organisations resulting in

unemployment should be stopped.

25. MONETARY DISCIPLINE

For establishing an effective monetary system in the country, improvement

in banking systems, stability of the currency and effective monitoring ofgovernment malpractice, it is essential that the office of the Governor of the

State Bank is made free from government control. Therefore, MQM wants

the powers of the Governor of the State Bank enhanced and those powers tobe given constitutional protection.

26. REDUCTION IN EXPENDITURE

In Pakistan the 2 per cent ruling class has been ruling over the 98 per centpoor and oppressed people since the inception of the country. They have not

only ruled, but have also used the State resources and national exchequerfor personal gains, because a major portion of the State exchequer has been

utilised on wasteful luxuries and personal benefits. The national exchequer is

almost entirely depleted. In order to replenish the exchequer working peopleare further burdened with heavy taxes and loans are obtained from foreign

countries at exorbitant rates.

For not providing basic necessities to the people, the government put

forward the justification that it lacks resources, whereas, billions of rupeesare spent on the luxurious life style of top bureaucrats, ministers andmembers of the ruling party, the government advisors and their families.

Millions of rupees are spent on medical treatment overseas for these people.

The same privileged class also obtains huge loans from nationalised banks.


20/28

Millions of rupees are spent to win over the favours of opposition partymembers in the Assembly. The national exchequer is also being plundered to

pay for expensive functions, tea parties, luncheons and dinners. Billions ofrupees are spent on luxury cars, villas, bungalows and foreign tours for

those who are in position of power. Expensive plots of land are distributed

among the favourites at give-away prices. It is because of such extravagantunnecessary expenditure that our country today is facing severe economic

crisis. MQM wants to see an end to this extravagant expenditure on luxuryitems. The Government sends, at its own expense, the very rich feudal lords

and bureaucrats and their families for trips abroad and for medical

treatment. This practice must be discontinued. Luxurious costly functionsand extravagant dinners should be stopped. On foreign tours, instead of a

huge entourage the representatives concerned should travel with a minimumof staff to reduce unnecessary costs. The extravagance on fleets of vehicles

and the houses of ministers, advisors and their secretaries must be stopped.

The practice of distributing plots of land to favourites of ministers andgovernment officials should also be stopped. The loans given to the

privileged class must be recovered from them. Tax evasion must beeliminated and every extravagance on luxury items should be stopped.

27. TAXATION SYSTEM

An outdated and defective system for the collection of taxes exists in ourcountry. For that reason the country is deprived of billions of rupees in

taxation every year. Due to the inadequate policies, billions of rupees find

their way into the pockets of government officers and bureaucrats rather

than the government treasury. What is immediately needed is to establishan effective and simple system which will tend to minimise the tax burdenupon the people on one hand but controlling tax evasion on the other,

thereby, creating an increase in tax recovery.

Furthermore, for the collection of taxes in a better way, and to eliminatecorruption immediate steps should be taken to formulate a simple and

effective system where room for corruption is minimised. Instead ofimposing exorbitant new taxes without due consideration there should be a

levy of taxes that are endurable to the tax payers, so the tax payer would

not be tempted into corrupt practices and tax evasion.

It is absolutely essential to extend the tax recovery framework to all classes

of society with the aim of increasing State income and reducing the burden

upon poor people. The system must be extended to all classes of people sothey can play their role in contributing to the State exchequer. Unnecessary

burden upon a particular class or a few classes must not be imposed. In this


21/28

regard the enforcement of tax on agricultural income would be a step in theright direction.

The MQM point of view in this regard is that instead of increasing the burden

upon existing taxpayers to meet the increased monetary requirements of the

country, a positive policy should be introduced to promote and increaseproduction in the country. The increase in productivity would subsequentlylead to an increase in imposition and recovery of taxation revenue. Instead

of concentrating on the levy of further taxes, efforts should be concentrated

on making tax recovery efficient, enabling the country to increase itsRevenue income.

28. CORRUPTION

In order to eliminate corruption, MQM is in favour of an independent andautonomous Accountability Commission. Along with this, MQM wants to

strengthen the office of the Auditor General by making it independent andeffective. MQM also wants that immediate steps to be taken according to the

findings of the report of the Auditor General.

29. FOREIGN LOANS

It is a matter of grave concern for every patriotic Pakistani to realise thatour country is sinking, day by day under the heavy burden of foreign loans.

We continue to procure loan after loan but have nothing to show for it. Theloans are not utilised for the projects they have been obtained for. Loans are

misappropriated through ineffective planning, malpractice and corruption.Little developmental work is seen because such a small amount is spent onthe projects for which these loans are procured. Due to defective planning

and corruption, we have not been able to achieve the economic advantagesthese loans could provide us. Little development is seen because

bureaucrats and corrupt politicians embezzle the funds earmarked for therepayment of previous loans and the rest is misappropriated by bureaucrats

and corrupt politicians. Due to the blatant corruption and embezzlement not

only is the burden of foreign loans upon the country growing constantly butno developmental work is being carried out either. MQM wants to see a

drastic reduction in dependence on foreign loans and to inculcate zealousparticipation by the people in promoting national development programs.

Furthermore, corruption, irregularities and defective planning should be

wiped out from the system. Such policies to be formulated that would proveto be helpful in making the country self-sufficient, to an extent that reliance

on foreign loans can come to an end.

30. INCREASE IN SALARIES


22/28

Whenever there is a price hike or inflation in the country, the worst affectedare the lower paid workers in the society. Already, due to lower salaries and

hyperinflation this class is disproportionately burdened. MQMs stance is thatthe salaries of the lower paid workers must increase in proportion to the

inflation rate to keep up with the ever-increasing cost of living.

31. PRIVATISATION

MQM is in favour of privatisation in the national economy. MQM supports theprinciple and practice of privatisation. It demands that all decisions for

privatisation must be taken in the national interest. No decision must betaken which may be against the interests of the national economy. MQM

wants to be sure that on privatisation the interest of the employees of theorganisations that are privatised are fully safeguarded and job security is

provided.

MQM wants the income that is produced through privatisation to beearmarked for the payment of foreign loans and not utilised for the revenue

expenditure of the Government.

32. MERIT

MQM is in favour of the rule of merit in every walk of life and wants this tobe compulsorily adopted at all levels for the sake of the countrys progress.

MQM wants to see all laws and policies that are inconsistent with the rule ofmerit, including the Quota System, to be repealed forthwith. This unjust

Quota System has not been contributing anything for the welfare of the poorpeople, on the contrary the 2 per cent privileged class has been takingadvantage of it at the expense of the people living in backward areas. MQM

wants to see that in all industrial, commercial, fiscal, municipal governmentand non-governmental organisations, employment should be given on the

basis of merit alone.

It is MQMs stand that in order to bring progress to the people of backwardand underdeveloped areas; it is essential to remove the crutch of the Quota

System. Instead, schools, colleges, universities and other educationalinstitutions, industrial units and health centres with up to date facilities

should be established in these areas, so that these regions are brought at

par with the rest of the country. The people could then compete on the basisof merit. In this regard, special funds should be earmarked from the national

exchequer, for the progress of the backward areas.

33. DRINKING WATER


23/28

It is extremely regrettable that in this modern age vast numbers of people inour country are deprived of clean drinking water. In order to solve this

problem, MQM wants to establish a special fund from the national exchequerand a comprehensive plan to be formulated whereby the citizens of all

regions, town and cities in the country would have access to clean drinking

water. Furthermore, in coastal areas and the cities on the seashoredesalination plants should be installed.

34. ENERGY

In the world today, procurement of energy has become extremely important.Those countries in the world are regarded as strong and stable who are self-

sufficient in energy requirements. Regrettably, our country is far behind inthis field and is seriously deficient in energy. With every passing day this

crisis is becoming more acute.

In order to solve the problem of energy, MQM wants to build more dams,atomic power houses and thermal power stations to increase the electricity

supply by utilising the country resources. It also wants to see exploration

work for oil and gas be accelerated, the efficiency of existing dams and theircapacity be enhanced, and the transmission system for electricity and gas

improved and efficiently integrated. MQM wants the private sector to beinvolved in the development of the energy industry, at the same time

ensuring that electricity and gas would still be available at an affordable cost

to the lower paid people.

35. COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORT

In order to make communication and transport easier and for industrial and

social progress it is essential that the transport system is improved andmade safer. To achieve this, the transport system in the cities must change

over to modern modes. The condition of roads must improve and newbridges and flyovers should be built. The road building methods should be

improved and new roads and highways be constructed.

The railway system in the country is in a desperate condition. It is necessarythat revolutionary changes are brought about to the entire railway system.

In short, following the pattern of the developed countries of the world, a

massive transport program should be adopted, on the lines of the MassTransit Program. The shipping industry in the country should also be

promoted so that they may be able to build more ships.

36. HOUSING POLICIES


24/28

In our country the housing problem has taken a very serious turn. MQMwants a comprehensive and effective policy to be formulated enabling every

citizen of the country to have a plot or a house at an affordable price so thateveryone may have some where to live. To achieve this objective, it is

essential that the private sector be given incentives to build cheaper and

affordable houses.

37. POLICE AND INTERROGATION CENTRES

In our country, the Police Administration has totally collapsed. For this

reason crime is on the increase and the law and order situation isdeteriorating day by day. There is only one way to improve the situation,

that is, the entire Police system should be restructured on scientific basis.MQM wants to restructure the Police system in such a way that educated

people are attracted to join the Police force.

MQM is in favour of local policing in all regions because people who join thePolice Department locally and perform their duties in their locality, would be

more able to control crimes in the area. MQM says that Policemen should be

recruited from the District they live in. Matriculation should be made as aminimum qualification for entry into the Police force.

There should be sufficient increase in the remuneration of ordinary

Policemen, and steps should be taken for their economic betterment so thatthey may lead their lives honourably and not be tempted into corruption and

bribery.

In the Police service an effective method of accountability must be set-up sothat necessary actions may be taken against Police officials violating the laid

down laws. Let the Administration of Accountability (Ehtesab) not only beapplicable to lower ranking officers but should also be extended to higher

ranking Police officers.

The Police department must be structured on modern scientific lines. Today,the civilised world regards the act of violence towards accused persons as

barbaric and many countries of the world prefer scientific and psychologicalmethods of interrogation. It is a matter of great regret that in our country

the interrogation centres have torture cells where the detainees are

subjected to such brutal tortures that during the course of interrogation theydie. Despite such illegal and inhuman practices, enquiries are not conducted

into such cases, let alone punishment meted out to guilty officials. With aview to correcting this deplorable situation it is essential to eliminate all

government sponsored torture cells in Police stations, forthwith. For the

purpose of interrogation modern scientific and psychological methods should


25/28

be employed. Moreover, such laws should be passed which would awardsevere punishment to the officials who are guilty of torture during

interrogation. In this regard the powers and discretion of courts of lawshould be extended so that the aggrieved parties may get speedy and

effective justice.

38. PRISON ADMINISTRATION

The prisons are established with a view to punish the convicts as well as toreform them. In our country, the administration of prison is such that

convicts do not come out reformed but as hardened criminals. It is,therefore, essential that the administration of prisons be reformed

extensively so convicts come out of prisons reformed and not as hardenedcriminals. It is, therefore, necessary that in prisons there should be facilities

for educating the convicts.

The under-trial prisoners should not be subjected to rigorous labour inconfinement.

The convicts should have adequate facilities for medical treatment.

The prisoners should be provided with an adequate diet in accordance

with the requirement for good health.

The inmates should have facilities for exercise and study.

Every prisoner should be taught a skill so that when he comes out ofthe prison he could make an honest living.

In prisons, narcotics are freely available and used. In some cases more

narcotics are available in prisons than outside. A system of

administration should be evolved that narcotics cannot reach theinmates.

Prisoners do not bring with them items of daily use nor do the prison

authorities provide them. The prisoners, therefore, adopt unlawfulmethods to acquire those items. It is, therefore, necessary that the

prison authorities provide the items of daily use to the prisoners.

The hardened criminals and accidental or occasional criminals should

be kept separately in prisons.

There should be an improved procedure for the meeting of familymembers and relatives of the prisoners.


26/28

Due to the shortage of vehicles in the prison administration prisonersare not brought to the courts for hearing and therefore the cases are

prolonged unnecessarily. It is, therefore, essential that the vehiclesand personnel should be made available in sufficient number for the

prisoners to be brought to the courts for hearing.

The practice of inhuman brutal torture upon prisoners should bestopped forthwith.

The convicted prisoners are not compensated for their hard labour. It

is right and proper that upon completion of their sentence they arepaid adequately for their work, so on leaving the prison they could

start leading a decent life.

In jails there is no one to care for female prisoners and the Authoritiestreat them extremely inhumanely. It is, therefore, essential that

women prisoners be given due justice and atrocities upon them to bestopped forthwith.

In order to end brutalities and atrocities in prisons, a team comprising

of High Court Judges should be appointed who would carry outsurprise visits to the prisons. Respective Chief Justices should make

the appointment of these judges so that the malpractice can be

stopped.

39. ELECTION COMMISSION

MQM considers that to hold free and fair elections it is essential that the

Election Commission be autonomous, independent and all-powerful. In orderto achieve this MQM wants that the Election Commission to be provided with

constitutional protection.

40. FLOOR CROSSING

In the politics of our country the shameful act of floor crossing is endemic.

The sapling of democracy is being severely harmed and democracy has

become a joke. Through floor crossing and horse-trading millions of voters

are being mocked. To prevent floor-crossing it is an urgent requirement thatthere should be a legislation that if any member of the assembly joins anyparty other then the party on whose ticket he was elected, his seat is

declared vacant.

41. DRUGS AND NARCOTICS


27/28

It is unfortunate that the curse of drugs and narcotics has spread throughoutthe country. As a result, instead of providing the younger generation with

health, diet and education, they are being poisoned by narcotics. Millions ofpeople have become addicted to drugs. In this heinous trade of drugs, some

highly placed and influential people are also involved.

In order to save the country from destruction, it is imperative that the curseof drugs and narcotics should be rooted out. It is, therefore, essential that

irrespective of status and influence, whoever is involved in narcotics trade

should be subjected to the severest punishment. MQM wants not only toeliminate this curse but also wishes to establish centres where drug patients

could be rehabilitated free of charge.

42. PROMOTION OF SPORT

MQM wants to promote healthy tendencies by paying special attention to the

promotion of sports in society and to achieve this object immediate andpositive steps must be taken.

MQM further wants the selection of coaches and officials in the institutions

for national sports and the players for national teams to be selected only onmerit.

43. TOURISM

By promoting tourism we can greatly increase the States foreign exchange

earnings. MQM wants the coastal areas, northern regions and other likelytourist attractions to be developed so that tourism may flourish.

Furthermore, all the necessary measures be taken for the protection ofMoenjodaro, Harrapa, Taxila and other archaeological sites of the country.

44. OVERSEAS PAKISTANIS

Hundreds of thousands of Pakistani citizens from various parts of the country

have been living abroad for employment or businesses. These Pakistanis arenot only enhancing the good name of the country with their skills but are

also sending hard-earned foreign exchange to Pakistan. They have beenplaying a vital role in the economic stability of their country. Regrettably, to

this day no Government in the country has paid any attention to solve their

problems. These Pakistanis face tremendous difficulties in obtainingpassports, visas and acquiring travel documents from the Pakistani

Embassies and High Commissions abroad. In particular, the behaviour of thePakistani staff posted in the Embassies and High Commissions is most


28/28

unfriendly and discourteous. It is also a general complaint that theseEmbassies and High Commissions do not offer any help to any overseas

Pakistanis in hardship. On the other hand, even in Pakistan no Governmenthas ever produced a concrete plan to take advantage of the services and

expertise of Pakistanis working abroad. The Government has not taken any

concrete measures for housing and residential projects to attract overseasPakistanis to make investments. As a result amongst these Pakistanis there

has been a great deal of unrest.

MQM wants there to be a definite plan and program to solve the genuineproblems of overseas Pakistanis and to get maximum benefits from their

services and abilities. The overseas Pakistanis can play a positive role in theprogress and prosperity of the country. In this regard it is essential that

steps are taken to remove all the shortcomings existing in the PakistaniEmbassies and High Commissions abroad.

It should be noted that to solve the problems of overseas Pakistanis, there

exists a Ministry for Overseas Pakistanis but only the Government officials,top bureaucrats and other people who have permanent links with the

establishment seem to benefit from this ministry. MQM wants steps to be

taken to ensure that this Ministry for Overseas Pakistanis is not abused,fulfils its proper role and solves the problems of Pakistanis living abroad.
