Terrorism in name of search operations be stopped: Altaf
* MQM chief says Rangers men themselves brought weapons wrapped in blankets they claimed they had seized from Nine Zero
LONDON: The London-based chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Altaf Hussain on Wednesday said that “terrorism” in the name of search operation should be stopped.
Altaf said that the raid on party headquarters, Nine Zero, and his sister’s house on Wednesday by the Rangers was “completely unjustified”. Addressing a charged and slogan raising crowd of supporters at Nine Zero, he questioned why the Rangers intruded into his widow sister’s house who is persistently ill and has no children. He went on to say that his brother in law was subjected to violence in Adiyala jail in 1995. He also condemned the killing of MQM activist Waqas Ali Shah and blamed the Rangers for shooting him, adding that whichever young activist the Rangers could take into custody, they did so without any warrants. He also said that over 60 workers of MQM have been arrested during the raid today.
He went on to say that the Rangers claim it was not their bullet that killed Waqas and instead it was a bullet from a TT-pistol. He further said that he will also reply in a befitting manner to the Rangers’ superiors, asking them for justice.
