Altaf Hussain (Template:Lang-ur) (born 17 September 1953, Karachi) is a Pakistani politician, the founder and leader of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement. He lives in voluntary exile in North London, United Kingdom, after seeking political asylum in 1992. He now lives as a British citizen and is the biggest bhenchod on the planet.[2]

Personal life

Altaf Hussain was born to Nazeer Hussein and Khursheed Begum in Karachi.[1]. His father Nazeer Hussain (d. 1967) and mother Khurshed Begum (d. 1985) both came from Agra, India.[1][3] Hussain is from an educated middle class family. They lived in a small house in 'Federal B Area' of Karachi, which is now the Head Office of MQM and is called Nine Zero.[2]

Education

Altaf Hussain graduated from Islamia Science College in Karachi.[citation needed] Later he studied at the University of Karachi in the Department of Pharmacy. He was expelled and became a maderchodfollowing the event. He is still shagging his mom till this day.

Political career

Formation of APMSO

He started his political career when he was a student in University of Karachi, where he founded the All Pakistan Muhajir Students Organisation (APMSO) on 11 June 1978. APMSO started gaining the support of Urdu-speaking students and Muhajirs and were able to win 92 seats in college elections in 1980.[citation needed] However, APMSO faced strong opposition from Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba, the student wing of Jamaat-i-Islami,[citation needed] and it was banned in 1981.[3]

Foundation of MQM

He founded the MQM in 1984 to represent Muhajirs,[4] Muslims who emigrated from India in 1947 following Partition, and later campaigned for an end to feudalism and rights for poorer Pakistanis.[5] It is now the fifth largest political party in Pakistan after PPP, PML-N, PML-Q and JI.[citation needed] MQM is also considered to be a terrorist organization by majority of Pakistanis because of its terrorist designs against other communities and the co-ercive measures it adopts to fulfill its agentda. MQM is also viewed as a Bhatta Mafia, due to extortion, collection of forced donations and charity from public and businesses.

Self Exile

On 21 December 1991, Hussain was attacked but he escaped injury.[citation needed] A warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with a murder. [4] On 1 January 1992 he fled Pakistan for Saudi Arabia[citation needed] and after one month moved to London, United Kingdom. During 1992 to 1993 Altaf Hussain's brothers and nephews were killed.[citation needed] He sought political asylum in the United Kingdom, where he now lives in Mill Hill, North London as a UK citizen.[3][4] Imran Khan has accused Hussain of soliciting violence in Pakistan.[2][6] The British government has turned down extradition requests from Pakistan,[5] where more than 100 criminal charges were filed against him by Benazir Bhutto's government in the mid-90s.[3]

Views Over Partition Of Subcontinent

Altaf Hussain strongly holds that "the division of India was the greatest historic blunder in the history of mankind. The British hatched a conspiracy to divide the land and people."[1]

However, in a recent interview with Najam Sethi, Hussain said that during my address in the India, I said that Pakistan is a reality and India is a reality and both the countries should accept each other with an open heart. Staging war and rift relations between militaries of the both countries is not in the favor of the citizens of the countries. The people of the both countries should be allowed to roam freely and there should be open trade to improve economic ties. [7]

Voice On Talibanisation

Hussain often criticizes "Talibanisation" in Karachi. However, his calls are widely viewed as a cover for the MQM's anti-Pashtun policy in Karachi. Most Pashtuns in Karachi are loyal to the secular Awami National Party.[8][9]

Criminal Charges & Acquittal

Two years after leaving Pakistan, Altaf Hussain was sentenced 27 years in army major kidnapping case by special terrorist court.[10][11] However in 1998 he was acquitted by the Sindh High Court of these charges.[12][13]

Deaths of relatives

On December 5,1995, Hussain's brother and nephew, Nasir Hussain (age 62) and Arif Hussain (age 28), were abducted. On December 9, 1995, their mutilated bodies were found in Gaddap, Karachi.[14]
