Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) once again brushed aside the allegations leveled by former Sindh home minister Dr Zulfiqar Mirza, terming them as completely baseless and false, a private TV channel reported Tuesday.
Flanked by MQM members Dr Sagheer Ahmed, Nasreen Jalil and others, former district nazim Mustafa Kamal addressed a press conference to air party’s reply against the allegations leveled by Dr Mirza on August 28 against MQM and its chief Altaf Hussain.
“These allegations are not new for MQM which has been stigmatised in the past with false accusations of Jinnahpur,” Kamal said. The army generals who had maligned MQM with allegations of breaking up Pakistan had been proven wrong, he added.
Terming Dr Mirza’s allegations as totally ridiculous, he said MQM understood that the letter written to former British prime minister Tony Blair was fake. “If Zulfiqar Mirza has evidences he must go to court,” he said. Kamal said a conspiracy was being hatched against the MQM which was aimed mainly at character assassination of MQM and its chief.
“Our silence should not be mistaken for weakness,” Kamal said, adding that MQM wanted to see a prosperous Pakistan. Kamal requested the chief justice of Pakistan to launch a probe into the arms licenses issued by Zulfiqar Mirza as the latter had confessed in front of media. “He (Mirza) had been at work to build a Lashkar to dismember Pakistan.”
“Ajmal Pahari’s confessions are extracted through application of force,” he said and added that MQM could not be eliminated through conspiracies and that plots to push what he termed muhajirs (immigrants) against the wall must be stopped forthwith.
