The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) government has raised controversy by ordering government officials to “just keep quiet” on the matter of the murder of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) central leader Dr Imran Farooq, Pakistan Today has learnt.
Whereas accused in the Imran Farooq murder case were arrested in August 2011, the government, Interior and Home Ministers have maintained their silence on the matter.
On August 27, Pakistan Today revealed two ex-students of Karachi University, linked with a student organization, had been arrested for the murder of Dr Imran Farooq.
However, Interior Minister Rehman Malik denied any arrest from Karachi Airport in connection with the Imran Farooq murder case. Subsequently, all government personnel denied the arrest.
However, on Monday, London Commissioner Bernard Howe Hougan said two suspects had been arrested in Pakistan by Pakistani intelligence agencies for involvement in the murder of Dr Imran Farooq.
After the London commissioner’s statement, while the main allies of the PPP government come up with a strategy to control the damage, the PPP leadership has decided to enforce silence on the subject.
Talking to media on Saturday, Sindh Home Minister Manzoor Wassan said the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) was investigating the murder of Imran Farooq and he could not comment on the matter.
However, internal sources claimed the PPP leadership had met and decided to follow a policy of “wait and see.”
There are issues outstanding amongst the PPP and MQM leaderships on the Local Government’s system and the PPP is trying to take advantage from the pressure on the MQM after the London commissioners’ statement.
On the other side, intelligence agencies are yet to have shown the arrest of the suspects which asks the question: under what law have they not revealed the arrests of persons after 24 hours of their arrest. Sources said it is possible intelligence agencies had not produced the suspects as a favour to the governing alliance.
Sources said it appears that the Imran Farooq murder case has been solved and the PPP government is now using it as a pressure tactic.
Sources said the only hope to know who was involved in Imran Farooq’s murder lies in London since the PPP is using the matter to save their government.
Sources said the PPP’s silence also raising questions about the interior and home ministries since both ministers were confusing the people of Pakistan. Interior Minister Rehman Malik has yet to have commented on the matter after the statement issued from London.
This murder was committed in England and it is in the interest of public justice that the accused are first indicted and then convicted for the crime they have committed.
MQM CLOSE TO BEING EXPOSED
Good to see Tariq Habib an Islami Jamiat Talba's activist working for Pakistan Today.
Its interstng, Made a person controversial by declaring him an activist of a party. its cheep tactic.
Just talk about news. if its wrong, file a suit in court.
Mr. Arif Tauheed ur comnts showd tht only IJT activists have courage to say the truth.
My father is a high official of military intelligence. He declared this story 100 percent correct.
Both intelligence agencies of Pakistan have solid proves about the issue.
Tariq Bhai well said… In politics, there is no border… both parties have their cards. they are blackmailing each other…..
it is quite obvious now that PPP Govt. is black mailing MQM over the issue: refer to the MQM Rally favouring Zardari
MQM shor to bohat machati hay magr phr khamosh ho jaty hay. abi tak MQM na London ka zmadar ke janib sa jari honay waly byan ka jawab nai dya.
Another propaganda from the people who have been masters of doing propaganda campaign since the days of making naray bazzi for 9 sitaray
Tariq bhai keep it up….
When the issue of murder case was at hike and Zulifiqar Mirza also given some evidences, MQM opposites were hoped that any confirmation will come from Scotland yard or Britain embassy about the arrest of accused persons belong to Pakistan but they deny. it means they were also waiting for special movement., which I think now comes, it is also used against PPP govt as shown in your story., Why Imran khan withdrawn struggle to launch a case against MQM. why Britain Govt. didnt give him support? why a member of the house of common not given answers of his questions towards the MQM and its leadership. there are international interests are involved to destabilize our country through violence. at the one is Taliban and at the other hand MQM both are standing with support of west although they are shouting on it.
yes, it is true fact that the murderers were arrested at karachi but Zardari government wanted to use this against his blackmailer Altaf Hussain. Both the home minister are telling a lie as per instructions of their master.
it is very clear from all comments on TV and in Print media that there is no pakistani living in this country rather they are punjabis, sindhis, pathans, balouch.
