KARACHI, March 1: Leader of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Altaf Hussain has said Pakistan was a country of the masses and not of few privileged classes and families.

There should be a justified system in the country, which can provide equal rights to citizens.

Altaf was addressing people from Balochistan who hade come to attend the national conference on provincial autonomy and the Balochistan situation via telephone from London.

He said the situation in Balochistan would today not have been so critical had the people there been given due rights and full right over their resources.

He said: “We want to eliminate the feudal system from Pakistan and want to introduce a justified system, which can provide justice to all people. Respect should not only be because of money.”

Altaf said when society respected only those who had wealth, when feudal lords and the well-off were considered above the law, and when a few families ruled the country while the poor were forced to follow the rich people, then the rich become richer and a class war starts in society.

He said even today, the feudal system prevailed in Pakistan and only two per cent people ruled over the rest 98 percent.

He said the assemblies had feudal lords as members in every period, who returned again and again by just changing their faces.
