Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Tuesday announced a targeted operation by Rangers in Karachi as Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain gave the federal government a 48-hour notice on Tuesday to bring Karachi back to order after another eight people were killed in ceaseless targeted violence in the embattled city.
The interior minister held two separate meetings in Karachi on the deteriorating law and order and ordered Rangers to proceed with a targeted operation based on real-time intelligence, without discrimination. The Rangers and police were told not to spare any individual or group regardless of their claims of influence or association with any political party. Malik also announced that police powers had been given to the Frontier Constabulary (FC), which would remain in reserve and its services would be utilised when needed. Meanwhile, addressing President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, MQM chief Altaf Hussain said: “I am giving the rulers a notice of 48 hours. If the bloodthirsty terrorists responsible for spilling the blood of innocent people, attacking homes, shops and factories, and setting ablaze motorcycles and properties are not arrested, the innocent people being made the victim of such terrorist attacks would be free to defend themselves. The government shall be directly responsible for the ensuing consequences.” Hussain’s warnings come amid continued targeted violence in the provincial capital, where despite the interior minister’s tall claims another eight people were murdered on Tuesday, raising the death toll from the violence to 139 in the last 10 days. Sindh IG Wajid Ali Durrani told a meeting at Chief Minister’s House that 91 assassins had been arrested who had confessed to 191 targeted killings so far.
food stock: The meeting also announced a Rs 5 million reward to anyone who provided information about the whereabouts of assassins. If a photograph or video of the assassin were provided to police along with the information, the reward would be Rs 10 million, it said. In a late night development, Hussain told the people of Karachi to stock food for a month even if they had to sell their valuables. He said he was asking the people to do so because the government and law enforcement agencies had become “insensitive”.
SUPER ACTION……….AMAZING! THEY ARE JUST SLEEPING IN THEIR CAVES
Altaf Hussain is not mincing any words. He is clearly inciting people to take arms in their hands. This is not surprising. MQM has a militant wing allegedly armed with Israeli guns.
This will lead to further bloodshed. The more the violence and bloodshed the more revitalised MQM becomes. The government’s so called reconciliation policy has not worked. Because of this policy MQM thugs who were arrested have been freed. If the perpetrators of 12th May were taken to courts the present security situation would not have happened.
Karachi was always a city of peace. Historically speaking, ever since MQM came into existence, it never saw peace again. But the fact remains, MQM is a major political player in Karachi. All parties who have any following in Karachi must be brought on board & a serious effort be made to improve the situation. It is high time that Altaf Hussain personally returns to Karachi and along with government & other parties lead public efforts to bring peace. He must not shun his responsibility and stay away on the pretext that his Rabita Committee is not allowing him to return. The Committee will only stop him till he does not want to return. The day he decides to return, RC will start working round the clock to give him a grand reception. Altaf Hussain, please return immediately … Karachi needs your sincere peace efforts.
there will be no peace in karachi until the govt. gets the courage to take strict action against the mqm.mqm is a fascist organisation which uses violences and intimidation to bully others.they've threatened the media to such an extent that no anchor or reporter has the courage to tell the truth about the mqm.everyone is scared to death of the bhai log party.the media has seen what mqm did to wali babar and they don't want the same thing happening to them.
mqm and their godfather in london both need to be brought to justice.if this is not done the violence in karachi will continue.
Karachi was always a peaceful city. People were busy doing their work. Its trade & industry was incentive for many people to migrate to Karachi.
Ever since MQM appeared on its political scene, times have changed. It has become a dangerous city. Nobody feels secure. Perhaps, other players have also entered the arena.
Looking at election results since 1988, MQM has the largest following. It is now time for Altaf Hussain to return in person to work for peace & harmony alongwith all other parties and stakeholders. Sitting abroad in the safe & comfortable environment of London will not help.
I am sure as soon as he decides to come back, Rabita Committee will be no hurdle. On the contrary, it will immediately start working on organising a huge welcome for him.
I would earnestly appeal to Altaf Hussain to return as soon as possible. Delay in return will be criminal.
Dear Altaf Hussain, please come & do everything for the peace of a city which has shown you so much respect. You owe it to Karachi.
