Linking sustainable peace in Karachi to the banning of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, its rival party, the Mohajir Qaumi Movement-Haqiqi, demanded on Saturday that the Sindh governor and Jamia Binoria chief should also be interrogated and tried for the death of over 250 workers in the Baldia Town factory fire in 2012
In a joint investigation team report recently submitted to the Sindh High Court, Rangers had claimed that the MQM was behind the deadly fire.
Talking to reporters, MQM-H chief Afaq Ahmed demanded that the government should order a reinvestigation into the Boulton Market fire, the Ashura bomb blast, the Tahir Plaza incident and the May 12 mayhem.
“The findings of the report are shocking, but not surprising,” he added. “The MQM was involved in many terrorist attacks in which hundreds of people have been killed.”
Ahmed said Karachi should be completely rid of weapons. Besides, he added, concrete action should be taken against the spread of religious extremism.
