The Sindh assembly today unanimously passed a resolution against exiled Mutthaida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain, demanding action against him under the treason laws for making anti-Pakistan remarks.

'The house condemns all sorts of crimes, torture, terrorism and anti-Pakistan slogans and activities carried out by any side and the most strict action should be taken against those responsible as per law and the Constitution,' said the resolution which was also backed by the MQM lawmakers.

The resolution also stated that the assembly expresses solidarity with the parliament, armed forces, media, judiciary and all democratic institutions in Pakistan.

It was the first sitting of the Sindh assembly since August 22 when the MQM chief made anti-Pakistan comments while addressing a hunger strike camp outside the Karachi Press Club which led to violence in the area and an attack on the ARY news channel offices.

The MQM lawmakers supported the resolution just a day after the MQM's Pakistan leadership removed Altaf's London-based advisors from the party's top decision-making forum.
