KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement's Coordination Committee has “strongly condemned” the press conference of police chief Karachi AIG Shahid Hayat for what they said implicating MQM in murder of Advocate Randhawa.
According to the statement issued here on late Tuesday, The MQM’s coordinationcommittee said that it was a part of conspiracies hatched against the party.
“AIG had accused MQM of murdering the advocate in a press conference. The AIG Sindh said in his press conference that a person named Kazim Abbas Rizvi was involved in the murder. He was affiliated with MQM and they had arrested him last time.”
The coordination committee said that AIG Sindh had leveled a “baseless and fabricated charge”. It said that the AIG had claimed that they had arrested him last time, adding “the fact is that Kazim Abbas Rizvi was arrested from his home on 27 September.”
It further said that the party’s claim would be testify by the neighbours of Rizvi. He has been in the police custody for the past five days, the statement added.
The coordination committee deplored that few days ago Police had given a statement after few hours of the murders of police personnel that MQM's MPA Nadeem Hashmi was involved in the murders and a case was registered against him. However, the statement said it was proved later that the charges are false.
The coordination committee demanded of the prime minister Nawaz and the federal interior minister to form monitoring committees for overseeing the targeted operation.
The statement further stated that if there were cases registered against MQM's workers then they must be arrested and produced in the court. If the charges are proved then they should be awarded punishment.
“It is outrageous a person should be declared a criminal on the basis of accusations. It is wrong to start a media trial of a popular party with a massive public support.”
The MQM had always supported measures taken by the government for the restoration of peace in Karachi. The party would continue to support such measures. However, this kind of whispering campaign against a popular party would not be tolerated, the statement concluded.
