A joint meeting of the Co-ordination Committee of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) was held in Karachi and London simultaneously today and it strongly condemned the false accusations and malicious and disparaging allegations made against the MQM by Zulfiqar Mirza. In a statement after the meeting the Co-ordination Committee said that Zulfiqar Mirza has been trying to drive a wedge between the permanent residents of Sindh. Following this malicious agenda, Mirza inflamed the fire of hatred in Sindh several times, and today he has once again made a vicious conspiracy to kindle the fire of hatred, violence and turmoil in Sindh.
Referring to the absurd allegations by Zulfiqar Mirza the Co-ordination Committee said that such allegations have always been leveled against the MQM ever since its inception these ludicrous allegations have been proved wrong in the fullness of time. The MQM was accused of Jinnahpur in the past but those who leveled the allegation later admitted that it was a drama.
The Co-ordination Committee said that Zulfiqar Mirza should have told the nation why the incidents of kidnapping for ransom of the children of businessmen, industrialists, traders and shopkeepers and extortion started in Karachi soon after his becoming the Home Minister. Zulfiqar Mirza should have informed as to who soaked the shopkeepers of Kabari Market in Sher Shah in blood a few months ago. The accused against whom the shopkeepers had registered the case were handed over to the police in whose office and who threatened the shopkeepers with murder if they identified the killers.
The Co-ordination Committee said that Zulfiqar Mirza should have also told as to who was involved in the butchery in Karachi in the past few days. Acting on whose behest were the Urdu-speaking people abducted and taken to the torture cells of People’s Amn Committee where they were subjected to inhuman torture and their heads were cut off? Zulfiqar Mirza should have also informed as to the place from where the kidnapped people were recovered.
The Co-ordination Committee said that Zulfiqar Mirza should have also informed as to who was stoking the fire disturbances in Karachi in collusion with the drug mafia, land mafia and arms mafia. The Committee asserted that it was Zulfiqar Mirza, who was aiding and abetting killers, terrorists, kidnappers, dacoits and other criminals involved in heinous offences
The Co-ordination Committee said it was because of his patronage to the killers, terrorists, extortions and kidnappers that Zulfiqar Mirza kept silent when the Rangers carried out operation in other parts of Karachi but when the Rangers moved against the criminal elements in Lyari, Zulfiqar Mirza started criticizing Rehman Malik, who was overseeing the operation thereby amply demonstrating that he was directly involved in the bloodbath in Karachi.
The MQM maintains that the operation against killers, terrorists, kidnappers and hardened criminals involved in heinous crimes must continue. The Co-ordination Committee demanded of President Asif Zardari and the higher leadership of the PPP to take serious notice of the absurd allegation of Zulfiqar and explain their position.
The Co-ordination Committee appealed to the public not to get provoked at the malicious and absurd allegations of Zulfiqar Mirza and restrain their emotions. The committee hoped that the conspiracies against the MQM would come to naught, and the enemies of the MQM would not succeed in their efforts.
