LAHORE: A Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader submitted a resolution in the Punjab Assembly secretariat on Wednesday against the statements made a day earlier by chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Altaf Hussain, urging Pakistan’s armed forces not to follow any ‘anti-state orders’ of the government, DawnNews reported.
Hussain made statements which could lead to anarchy in the country, the resolution said.
The resolution further condemned any step that promoted strife in Pakistan.
Earlier on March 18, the MQM chief while addressing a rally organised to celebrate 30th foundation day of the party, urged Pakistan’s armed forces to not follow any ‘anti-state orders’ of the government with regards to sending troops abroad, in an apparent reference to reported shift in government’s policy over Syria in the aftermath of $1.5 billion ‘friendly donation by Saudi Arabia.’
Hussain had also warned the rulers against inflicting sectarian disharmony in the country by following ‘policies of others’.
