APNS welcomes Safwanullah’s resignation

KARACHI (July 11 2007): The APNS has welcomed the resignation of Federal Minister for Housing Syed Safwanullah of the Muttaheda Qaumi Movement who resigned on Monday in compliance with his party’s directive.

The APNS has repeatedly contacted the Muttaheda Qaumi Movement on this issue following the May 22 hit list of anti-Mohajir ‘journalists’ issued by the Muhajir Rabita Council.

The APNS had urged the Muttaheda Qaumi Movement to remove Safwanullah from his Ministry in the federal government as he was the President of the Muhajir Rabita Council at the time of issuance of the journalists hit list.

The APNS believes that the Muttaheda Qaumi Movement has acted effectively, firstly, in disassociating itself from the Muhajir Rabita Council statement. Secondly, after effecting Safwanullah’s resignation from the Muhajir Rabita Council, it has withdrawn him from the Federal Cabinet as a consequence of the hit list issued by the Muhajir Rabita Council during his tenure as its President.

The only outstanding item from the agenda of the actions urged by the APNS is for the Muttaheda Qaumi Movement leadership to persuade the Muhajir Rabita Council to withdraw the 13-members hit list of journalists that the Muhajir Rabita Council had earlier issued.
