SUKKUR:
The Pakistan Peoples Party on Saturday stated that the Lyari gangster Uzair Jan Baloch, in custody in UAE, was taking his revenge on the PPP for action against him.
Uzair Baloch, who is in the custody of the United Arab Emirates authorities and the law enforcement agencies are trying hard to bring him back here, had fled abroad after a targeted operation was launched in Karachi against criminals.
After his arrest, there are widespread reports that Uzair Baloch — who is allegedly leading one of the two major gangs in Lyari — reportedly disclosed that certain senior leaders of the PPP were his partners in crime.
Speaking to reporters at his residence, Mr Shah avoided talking about death row convict Saulat Mirza’s allegation against the Muttahida Qaumi Movement leadership.
“I cannot talk about Saulat Mirza, but the case of Uzair Baloch is different,” he said.
He said that Lyari was a PPP stronghold, where the party had launched an operation to restore peace and order. Uzair Baloch had to escape abroad since the noose was tightening around his neck to the targeted operation, he added.
Mr Shah said that now he was levelling allegations against the PPP leadership in order to take his revenge.
