Malik telephones Altaf, says miscreants want to disturb peaceStaff Report
KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain in a telephonic conversation with Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Saturday discussed the overall political situation of the country besides law and order circumstances. Talking to the MQM chief, Malik said that the miscreants wanted to derail law and order situation of Karachi and Dera Ismail Khan.
According to a press release, Malik said that the miscreants were also hatching conspiracies to pit political parties against each other. There were intelligence reports that attacks would be carried out on the offices of political parties in order to stir tension among them, he said, adding that the government was taking steps for foiling the conspiracies, but it needed the support of all religious and political parties for the purpose. It was time that all the political and religious parties stand united to defeat the conspiracies of miscreants.
He appealed to the leaders of Pakistan People’s Party, Awami National Party, Jamaat-e-Islami, Muslim League and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam to take the notice of the conspiracies to create a law and order situation in Dera Ismail Khan and Karachi. MQM chief said it was the need of the hour that all political and religious parties remain vigilant about the conspiracies to create disturbance.
The political parties should defeat the conspiracies by interacting with each other and not getting provoked at the instigation of the enemies of peace, he added. In a different handout, Hussain said that the sacrifice of country’s first prime minister will not go in vain and the revolution of poor and middle class would definitely come in the country. Paying a tribute to Shaheed-e-Millat Khan Liaquat Ali Khan on his 60th death anniversary, he demanded of President Asif Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to make the investigations of Khan Liaquat Ali Khan’s assassination public.Courtesy www.dailytimes.com.pk
