Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Quaid, Altaf Hussain on Wednesday called upon the government to undertake the exercise for a country-wide census under the supervision of Pakistan Army. <br />Addressing a press conference here at MQM Headquarters via telephone from London, Altaf Hussain said: “It is our demand that the census exercise be carried out and completed at the earliest.” <br />The MQM Leader said ‘Sindh One and Sindh Two’ had been made in 1973 with the announcement of quota system for urban and rural parts of the province. <br />He said problems emanating from lack of census are aggravating with the passage of time. <br />Altaf Hussain said positive work of the government should be appreciated but wondered that if injustice with Sindh continued unabated, then can’t one choose the path of agitation. <br />“We should play an effective role of opposition for strengthening democracy,” he remarked. <br />He warned that before resorting to oppression the oppressors must not forget that just like them the people facing cruelty also have two hands. <br />He claimed that the number of MQM activists living in various cities of Sindh including Sukkur is such that it can perform the task of providing protection to the Sindhis. <br />Calling the attention of the Army, Altaf Hussain said if military leadership did not act judiciously, then it can lead to a possible public reaction.
