PML-N, PPP to be blamed equally for MQM’s crimes: Siraj

LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer senator Sirajul Haq has said the PPP and the PML-N were equally to be blamed for the MQM’s crimes as they had been taking the party as an ally in the government time and again.
Addressing the concluding session of the JI workshop for party workers at Mansoora Sunday, he said the PPP and the PML-N must explain to the masses where they had been when the MQM had been butchering innocent citizens of Karachi and their workers were being burnt alive.
He demanded that MQM chief Altaf Hussain be brought to the country through Interpol. Besides, he said, it must also be determined in the light of the 21st Amendment whether the MQM was a terrorist group or not. He said those patronising the MQM had proved through their action that they wanted to promote terrorism instead of bringing it to an end. The MQM had always been an ally of the government of the PPP, the PML-N and also during the rule of the generals, he added.
Stressing that justice must be done to all, the JI chief said it was an irony that those targeting religion, mosques and madrassas, detaining the ulema and curbing the voice of ‘Azaan’ were themselves giving honour to the killers of thousands of innocent citizens. Sirajul Haq said for the last 30 years, the economic life-line of the country had been in the grip of the workers of CIA, RAW and Mossad.
