That the dynamics of politics throw up unpredictable developments is often a grim reality. It was less than a week ago that Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain made highly objectionable remarks against country's security institutions, seeking the deployment of United Nations' and Nato's troops in Karachi to bring to an end the "extrajudicial killings" and "disappearances" of party activists by paramilitary force, Rangers.
The national leadership of MQM, however, has sufficient arrogance to defend, albeit meekly, Altaf's diatribe on various TV channels. What is, however, constitutes an unpleasant surprise is a Business Recorder news item that informs its readers that National Assembly speaker Ayaz Sadiq has telephoned London-based MQM chief and urged him to withdraw the motion that his party has submitted in the lower house of parliament with a view to de-seating Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNAs. The question is: Why are you seeking the co-operation of a person who, according to you, has committed treason and therefore is liable to be tried under Article 6 of country's Constitution to overcome a seemingly trivial parliamentary crisis?
