'MQM Pakistan expels Nadeem Nusrat, others'

This is apropos a Business Recorder news item "MQM Pakistan expels Nadeem Nusrat, others" carried by the newspaper yesterday. According to it, Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan has decided to expel four eminent leaders of party's London chapter. A decision to expel four London-based eminent members of the MQM was made at a meeting of MQM Pakistan Rabita Committee. Dr Farooq Sattar presided over the meeting at his party's makeshift office.
The meeting decided that since Nadeem Nusrat, Wasey Jalil, Mustafa Azizabadi and Qasim Ali Raza had not been following the MQM Pakistan's policies they should be expelled and their party membership should be cancelled. The meeting also repudiated the statement of Nadeem Nusrat in which he said there is no minus-Altaf MQM was MQM nothing without its founder Altaf Hussain.
This development clearly dispels impression that MQM Pakistan led by Dr Farooq Sattar is still deriving its political sustenance from London. The doubting Thomases must stop MQM-bashing that is usually evident on TV screens. No doubt Altaf Husain has committed a cardinal sin. The party's Pakistan chapter that has disassociated itself from him and his London-based coterie must not be forced to repent for the sin committed by him.
MQM Pakistan, however, is required to ask all of its parliamentarians to resign and seek re-election through by-elections in order to prove that MQM can still do well in polls without its founder.
