KARACHI: Condemning the arrests of its workers, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has said that certain quarters are trying to sabotage its possible dialogue with the federal government, according to local media sources.
The party blamed the Sindh Rangers for patronising its rival, Mu hajir Qaumi Movement, better known as MQM-Haqiqi, and to allow its cadre to occupy parts of Landhi, sources further added.
Addressing a press conference in Landhi on Friday, senior MQM leader Dr Farooq Sattar said that the Rangers had raided some party offices in Landhi and took 12 workers of the party into custody on the eve of Independence Day.
He termed the action a plot to destabilise Karachi, reportedly.
“The MQM will not stop celebrating Independence Day for fear of arrests,” he said.
