I am Haq parast but ..........

MQM did well to table Deweaponisaion Bill in National Assembly of Pakistan but my question is that if,

MQM will Deweaponise itself (90) first before Deweaponising other parts of Pakistan?

It is accused that MQM is involved in target killing, kidnapping for ransom, bhatta khori Etc. Ofcourse every Pakistani knows this, but problem is that MQM blackmailed every Government with killing and destabilization in Karachi. Now days MQM Blackmailing PPP.
MQM beleive in Violence. MQM is a Party whose Founder is a British. If MQM Founder loves Pakistan why don't he come to Pakistan? Why he living like a coward in UK? Looks like British Agencies using Altaf Hussain to destabilize Pakistan. If Altaf Hussain loves Pakistan he should come and live like a braveheart in Pakistan.
Dear Altaf Bhayya Come to Pakistan i will welcome you at Airport. I Like Altaf Bhayya acting, ofcourse he is a great actor.

Agar Altaf Bhayya Pakistan ke leader hein to woh Pakistan aa kar rahein. Altaf bhai ko mera message ha kah ”BE A PATRIOT ALTAF BUKRI, don’t be such a coward EXPATRIATE”. Leader woh hota ha jo NATION ke sath khara ho. Koi muje Jawab de kah jab Pakistan mein Flood ya earthquake aya, sari dunia se representative Pakistanyun ka dukh share karne Pakistan aye. Kya us time Altaf Bhayya jo kehte hein muje Pakistan ke Awam se muhabbat ha Pakistan aye? Kya woh mazoor (disable) they us time kah aa kar apne mulk mein apne logun ke grief ko share na kar sake? Us insaan ko Pakistan se kya pyar bho ga jo Mulk ana chahta hi nahi or us ki Party ke paish kiye huwe BILL ki koi value nei ho gi kyun kah MQM sirf popular hone ke liyie aise Dramey kerti ha abhi recently unhun ne PPP se alag ho kar aik bara Drama kiya sirf media mein popular honey ke liyie.
Agar Altaf Bhayya Pakistan mein hotey or un ki apni party sab se pehle is bill par amal kerti ha to mera khayal ha he is great leader lekin you can see he is not among us because he is coward and his party not ready to surrender for target killing, bhatta khori, blackmailing and kidnapping.
Jiye Altaf Bukri
Geo Altaf Bhai lekin Shair ban ke na kah Bukri.

MQM criminals and their end

* International Murders of MQM: *
Dr. Imran Farooq's Murder
Dr Imran Farooq former leader of the MQM was involved in heinous crimes in Pakistan. Imran Farooq was never invited to the meeting held just before his death, which proves the point that he was ‘no more in the party’. The way MQM people are minding the family and parents of Imaran Farooq is like if they are in house arrest without open access to the media. We see images of Alataf Hussain weeping on the TV screens but nothing from the family, parents, brothers and sisters? How bizarre is that?
It would be useful and may help solving the current crime if Scotland Yard investigate/study the murder of Haji Jalal reportedly a British Citizen who was member of the MQM core committee, living in London for many years and killed in Karachi in July 2009, after having reported disagreements with Altaf Hussain. MQM issued no statement on his death and no one from the party attended his funeral?
The propaganda by MQM – Altaf in the Western countries that they are fighting against Taliban is utter ‘non sense’. A senior General once said, ‘MQM will disappear in the air once countered with Taliban’. They see every man with a beard from North of Pakistan as Taliban and sing from the hymn sheet coming from abroad. In fact it is a bunch of criminals and killers now violating British laws for many years.
Since 2001, MQM has done nothing practical in fight against ‘terrorism’ apart from sending faxes and false reports to the foreign embassies and governments. They are part of every government since 2002 and done nothing apart from collecting extortion money from Karachi and sending to London via illegal channels. The over exaggerate and propagate visits of junior US officials in media as if White House and President Obama is keeping them in the loop. They have become part of the problem than part of the solution for Pakistan and burden on British taxpayers.
Dr Imran Farooq had Rs 50 Lakhs (Rs. 5 million) head money, and was a convicted and charged in Major Kaleem’s case. The others who were charged are Altaf Hussain (London), Saleem Shahzad (London), Aftab Ahmed, Ashfaq Chief, Javed Kazmi and Hajji Jalal (was in London and eliminated in Karachi), are reportedly in London and frequently appear on TV screens in the meetings of inner circle of Altaf Hussain. The rest are Yousuf, Nadeem Ayubi, Ayub Shah, Ismail alias Sitara, Ashraf Zaidi in USA, Sajid Azad, Asghar Chacha, Rehan Zaidi and Safdar Baqri.
On 5th February 1998 Advocate-General Shaukat Zubedi asked for a RE-TRIAL before a competent court, but the court didn’t agree with his contention and acquitted the appellants. Sind High Court acquitted them because the prosecution seemingly did not peruse the matter. Well if prosecution don’t persue the case under ‘political pressures’, defence is going to win but that does not mean justice has been done.
The incident happened on June 20, 1991 and the FIR of the incident was lodged on June 24. The accused in the case had been charged with kidnapping the army officers and torturing them. Trial before STA Court No. 3 began before judge Ghazanfar Ali Shah in March 1993 and the judgment was delivered on June 9, 1994 when Altaf Hussain was in London and not in Pakistan.
Major Kaleem and three other Pakistan Army officers were patrolling the Landhi area in civilian clothes in an army jeep when about 20-armed terrorists took them hostage after seizing their weapons. The army men were taken to a place called White House in Landhi a torture cell where they were allegedly tortured and kept for seven hours. They were rescued when the police reached the place.
It was Altaf Hussain and MQM who issued a memo to his workers saying,” if there was war between Indian and Pakistan, MQM workers will be remain neutral”. Why Altaf Hussain did issue such treacherous instructions? Whose side is he on? He has already chosen to be a British Citizen.
A senior analyst said, “Altaf Hussian of MQM is becoming a headache for the British Government. His so-called International Secretariat in London is centre of criminal activities. Police would be interested to know who is funding this secretariat and are there any mafia links? Altaf and his cronies allegedly own quite a few properties in London worth millions. Well then what is Serious Fraud Office in Scotland Yard doing about it as it was reported in a London weekly newspaper? Well for Serious Fraud Office properties are allegedly worth Millions and there is no reason for SFO not to investigate if they are not doing already?”
A senior British parliamentarian said to me, “I am living here for many decades and I cannot afford these kinds of properties”. Some one said, ‘in an ideal situation if British Government treat MQM and its leader by law without protecting with legal loopholes, like every one else and not as an ‘asset’, the whole so called Mafia den would be closed down in minutes? Surely security services and GCHQ have records of all the coded communications, speeches?
It seems Altaf Hussain soon will be questioned in local police station under caution for inciting hatred, racism, money laundering, and financial corruption. His passport may be confiscated and travel restrictions might be imposed on all the inner circle.
Can someone like (Altaf Hussain) be tried under Race Hate crimes in Britain, (keeping in view his inflammatory speeches), I asked senior British lawyer Amjad Malik?
He said, “I must say that if some one in Britain used his oratory in a negative way and target his audience to create hatred against any other class in that society which results in violent activities against those group or community and/or results in killings and entails acts committed at any time as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population with knowledge of the attacker including offences such as murder, blackmailing, targeted killing in revenge and to create terror, torture, rape, severe deprivation of liberty, enforced disappearance of persons, damage to property or Genocide, Terrorist activities, or Organised crimes to advance political aims, or he incites racial and religious hatred by using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour the answer is yes, that person may be investigated and later charged under s. 18 of Public Order Act 1986 and further for using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or displays any writing , sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting under s.4(a) Public Order Act 1986.In my opinion those oratory intimidation and criminal behaviour will be considered racially aggravated offences if racially motivated under s.28(1)a of Crime and Disorder Act 1998 which confirms ‘that at the time of committing the offence, or immediately before or after doing so, the offender demonstrates towards the victim of the offence hostility based on the victims membership or (presumed membership) of a racial group; or b) the offence is motivated (wholly or partly) by hostility towards members of a racial group based on their membership of that group’. Incitement for racial hatred is similar to incitement of race and religious hatred which we see under s.29a and b) of Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006. I will give example the case of Abu Hamza here as an example as in similar situation one can be investigated by UK police under Police and Criminal Evidence Act and may be asked to attend an interview under caution to see if there is a satisfactory response to the allegations of incitement to racial hatred and as a result of that investigation may be charged by the State if there is sufficient evidence to prosecute and one can be tried in UK under existing national laws, and if one is foreign national and/or naturalised, he can be stripped off his nationality and may be extradited to the State where he originally belongs and where those crimes actually take effect subject to some conditions and human rights provisions. In all circumstances Britain will offer a fair trial to the accused”.
There is a possibility that Altaf Hussain and his gang might be extradited to Pakistan under Interpol ‘Red Warrant’ after the nullification of National Reconciliation Ordinance, which some people called ‘National Robbers Ordinance’.
Altaf Hussain should be sacked from the leadership, brought to justice and MQM must elect a new local Pakistan based leader if they are a political party and not a mafia. MQM need to ‘disarm’ as soon as possible to save more innocent lives in Karachi and in London. Many people in Karachi have grievances against Altaf Hussain’s gang for killings of their relatives. He should be brought to justice before some one brought ‘gang war on the streets of London’.

• International Murders of MQM: *
Dr Imran Farooq - life & death!
by Dr Nadia Khan
Finally, Dr. Imran Farooq has met with his fate! Each one has to die but few people leave everlasting marks on history pages for their remembrance whereas late Imran Farooq has ended up this world with broken heart, very few MQM workers know that!
Altaf Hussain, in his most emotional & dramatic appearance in front of media men, condemning the murder of Imran Farooq, cried and presented his sentiments showing his 'love' for a man once he was his loyalist and called him 'Martyr of Revolution.' Though he has received this title but no one knows what efforts late Imran Farooq has on his credit for revolution! As few days before, Altaf Hussain, in one of his most controversial speech, had invited Army Generals to bring the country back on corruption-free path to avoid People’s Revolution. He hinted that he was ‘gifted’ with his lieutenant murder as he has started the talk of revolution. One could conclude that in his speech he had spared Army or ISI, so it is somebody else for whom Altaf Hussain is saying that ‘the murderers of Imran Farooq could not be spared by Allah!’
The cunning comments and emotional ‘dialogues’ of Altaf Hussain have paved the way for many thinkers to observe his body-language carefully as what extra ordinary late ex-convener had done as he deserves such admiration, but only after his death.
As a fact, the late convener was out of London-based party leadership for over two years. He was suspended to perform any administrative activities of the party. The party was directly run by the top leader (Altaf Hussain) even ex-convener had no right to conduct any official party men meeting in party’s Edge ware office. He wasn’t consulted over core party issues and sidelined fully. His last political appearance was in Dr. Shahid Masood’s “Mayray Mutabiq” around two & half years ago when his tone was down and one could easily identify as what trauma is going on with this leader!
With this state of situation, the highest-ever tribute by the top leadership is eye-opener, as something is wrong somewhere. Either at party end, or at late ex-convener end, or at top leadership end. No matter what ever is the truth, the last remnant of 1984 MQM is gone with the wind. Late Azeem Ahmed Tariq was the top notch leader of the then MQM, and surprisingly Altaf Hussain saying on 17th September 2010 that “murder of Imran Farooq is the biggest ever sad news for me” has astonished many observers that the “killing of Azeem Ahmed Tariq wasn’t the biggest ever sad news for him!”
Farooq Sattar in his tribute has said that “he was the symbol of respect & nobility in Pakistani politics.” Like all I am also surprised as what Imran Farooq has credited to Pakistani politics except his 7 years of struggle for MQM against 1992 Army Operation, arranging group of hardcore MQM workers to fight against Army men in Karachi and taking the city hostage as & when needed. Finally his links with Indian consulate had been exposed (where he was instrumental in arranging Indian visas for number of party workers) to leave the country and out of Pakistani law. This was the main cause of Indian Consulate, Karachi office closure.
When his murder news was broke out, I wanted to observe the ‘reaction’ in Karachi to verify the words of party leader. By 17th September night I was in Karachi. As per past experiences, when any low-profile party worker or Sector in charge had died or killed then MQM workers took the whole city hostage killing scores of innocent non-Muhajirs and burning out public properties. It was a shock for me that for such a high-value party leader ‘once who was the only source of resistance against Army from 92-97,’ MQM party workers reaction was most mild in its kind. Only public transport was off the road, probably due to their own fear, otherwise streets were not empty, shops were open partially and most strange factor was MQM workers behavior; don’t interfere in people’s actions. No procession, no protest (like the way MQM does normally), no black banners etc. Whole Karachi city was calm!
Cool and calm Karachi on 17th Sept - was it a tribute to hardcore loyalist of Altaf Hussain or the ex-convener of Rabita Committee, once who was the symbol of ‘loyalty & resistance’ for Altaf group among MQM workers? I was surprised!
Late Imran Farooq, while continuing his struggle against the then Army Operation, when realized that all his loyal supporters either left Karachi or caught by the security agencies, had adopted a new approach of survival. He had taken refuge in Dawat e Islami organization, changed his outlook and started wearing green turban and had grown the long beard. Many MQM criminal elements had adopted this approach and had hidden themselves either in the fold of Tableghee Jamat or Dawat e Islami as both the organizations take people for forty days or four months or for one year, city to city, town to town, and country to country staying in mosques only and preaching the basics of Islam. This is the safest way of hiding himself and changing the outlook by making security agencies fool. When Imran Farooq had arrived in London, he had boarded from Lahore Airport, and his outlook was the perfect example of a Dawat e Islami preacher. I assume that with same outlook he had got UK visa and made all security agencies fool to get out of the country. His maiden press-conference at MQM office London had showed him with long beard. Later, he had changed his outlook after getting the political asylum and returned back to the path of secular MQM.
Insiders say that it was the main cause of Altaf Hussain dissatisfaction with him as ‘how Imran Farooq came out of Pakistan without the blessing of ISI?” Either he became the double-cross agent having links with ISI Generals and sitting in party’s main office in London controlling workers paving the way for him to take over the party leadership! This doubt gradually reached to highest level and when Altaf Hussain had decided to take side of General Mushraff, late Imran Farooq was the most critical voice within the party! This was an alarming situation and he became moved out to a level when he was stabbed to death, he was without any guard or close aide, alone on his evening walk!
As Muslims, we strongly believe in Allah’s justice! The man who controls Karachi with his few loyalists, no one cries for him in Karachi when he died. Has he ever thought in his dreams? He spends 7 precious years of his life, by putting his own life at stake, for a party who kicked him out of it in few seconds! The Heavenly justice is visible for those who kills innocent people under the banner of ‘party protest’ but justice take its way – though slowly- but finally. No one will cry for such elements
Be it Shaheed Dr Khjasta (died by snipers firing on 7th Feb 1991; a day of MQM strike at Gulshan Chawrangi) till Khaled Bin Waleed killing over skin dispute, hardcore leaders like Dr. Imran Farooq shall be held responsible for setting up militant wings within political parties like MQM!!!
• International Murders of MQM: *
Karachi - South Africa - London
Who killed Haji Jalal, Javaid Shaikh and Imran Farooq?
By Dr Shahid Qureshi
Thursday 23 Sep 2010
Road side assassination of MQM gangster Haji Jalal, his sons and innocent bystander in Karachi and alleged street murder of Imran Farooq in London left many questions for the living, then the answers. This is second international murder of MQM leader first one was in South Africa when a senior MQM organiser Javeed Shaikh was killed.
According to news reports published on 9th July 2009, “Hajji Jalal senior member of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), two of his sons and a passer-by were shot dead on 8th July 2009, within the area of Landhi police station. The deceased include MQM leader Hajji Jalal, 60, his sons Usman Jalal, Abdullah Jalal and a passer-by Adnan Sohail, while the injured were Ahad and Raja who were admitted with critical injuries. Jalal was elected as counsellor of Landhi 4 in 1987, and was a renowned leader of the MQM. Jalal had been detained in Central Jail Karachi for several years in the case of abduction of Pakistan Army Major Kaleem”.
MQM gangster Hajji Jalal was murdered on the road in broad day light while Altaf Hussain was/ is in full control of Karachi? Hajji Jalal was in the inner circle of the self exiled British Citizen and London based leader of MQM Altaf Hussain. He was one of the criminals wanted in connection with the torture and kidnapping of Pakistan Army Major Kaleem and his companions. He was killed with his two sons in suspicious circumstances and we did not see much of Altaf Hussain usual enthusiasm and performance asking for the arrest of the killers. Why no one from MQM higher command in Karachi attended his funeral and his wife allegedly blaming Altaf Hussain for the killing? He was a man with many secrets? Who ordered and benefited from his elimination? If Haji Jalal was a British citizen Scotland Yard can ask for his investigation report from the Karachi police?
MQM terrorists and criminals who were charged and convicted in Major Kaleem’s case were Altaf Hussain, Saleem Shahzad, Dr Imran Farooq with Rs 50 Laks head money, Aftab Ahmed, Ashfaq Chief, Javed Kazmi and late Hajji Jalal, reportedly in London and frequently appear on TV screens in the meetings of inner circle of Altaf Hussain. The rest are Yousuf, Nadeem Ayubi, Ayub Shah, Ismail alias Sitara, Ashraf Zaidi in USA, Sajid Azad, Asghar Chacha, Rehan Zaidi and Safdar Baqri.
He was close ally of the self exiled leader now British asset Altaf Hussain? Then who killed him? Why MQM did not protest as they normally do and no senior leader attended his funeral? He died with lots of secrets with him? Was it an inside job? A source said that when Azeem Ahmed Tariq Chainman of the MQM was killed in his house, it was allegedly ‘Syed Mustafa Kamal former ‘mayor’ Nazim of Karachi who opened the door for the killers’. Azeem Ahmed Tariq use to call him ‘nephew’. Well there are many mafia style skeletons in the MQM’s closet. The others who were allegedly killed as inside job after Azeem Ahmed Tariq were, Ahsan Tariq (Finance Secretary), Senator Mustafa Kamal, Dr Nishat Malik, Razaq Khan, Shahood Hasmi and Khalid bin Waleed.
There are many similarities among both the criminals Imran Farooq and Haji Jalal:
Both were in the inner most golden circle of the mafia
Both were allegedly linked with the criminal activities
Both were charged and convicted in Pakistan Army Major Kaleem abduction case
Both lived in London under British protection after claiming asylum
Both had disagreements with boss Altaf Hussain
Both killed on the road in gruesome manner
MQM issued no statement on Hajia Jalal and his sons killings,
No MQM leader attended his funeral. Why?
But in case of Imran Farooq, MQM-Altaf claimed the ‘dead man’ and re-instated his position after his death as convener of the party. Why?
Is there a policy change for image and perception of the party?
The whole family of Imran Farooq is under MQM custody as media is managed closely and Karachi based media groups are too scared even to publish the comments of his father that ‘my son was living hand to mouth modestly (while Altaf and Co are rolling in millions thanks to the curtsey of ‘tycoons of Karachi’.
In past few months Pakistan Rangers and other security agencies have arrested terrorists of MQM who confessed their involvement in ‘targeted killings’ and also receiving orders from London. The MQM assassins from South Africa are also reportedly activated and could have been used for international crimes.
It is reported that approximately 27 terrorists have been arrested who confessed their crimes including murder, extortion and ‘targeted killings’. The report prepared by the provincial Home Department in Karachi might provide clues about the master minds of Imran Farooq’s assassination. There is a possibility that Scotland Yard might want to access the report in connection with the Imran Farooq murder case as well trace the ‘hidden assets’ of this poor party, worth beyond imagination. It is reported that money transferred by illegal channels is invested in properties, restaurants, and businesses.
There is a little doubt that self exiled mafia style boss of MQM - Altaf Hussain proved to be a true asset to many stake holders and probably to the highest bidders’. Altaf Hussain has never reportedly worked and paid any taxes since his arrival in the United Kingdom. If he has, no body knows about it.
The spin by the certain elements that Taliban could have been involved in the gruesome murder of Imran Farooq a former leader of the MQM in London sounds too far fetched? There are many active and current MQM leaders who are living and reaping the fruits of power in Pakistan. None of them is even scratched by any religious group let alone so called criminal Taliban.
In response to an introductory comment about Imran Farooq as anti-taliban politician from the presenter of LBC London Radio, I said that, ‘taliban don’t have the capacity to do this kind of killing in London. Moreover what benefit would they get by killing a non active and side lined MQM politician? It is not an attention seeking exercise or a joke? The whole world knows that British Police and security services would hunt them down and MQM’s taliban spin will not work’ because MQM might have some ‘political mileage’ for the British government. But surely no compromises would be made at the cost of British national security and public order.
One can describe this so called liberal and false anti-taliban stance of MQM- Altaf Hussain by connecting Imran Farooq’s killing with Taliban in the words of Lord Nelson, ‘if you can’t baffle them with brilliance than dazzle them with bull****’

Crimes list of MQM

1. THE MOHAJIR QAUMI MOVEMENT (MQM) IN KARACHI JANUARY 1995-APRIL 1996
November 1996
Disclaimer
4. HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES BY THE MQM
Sources indicate that many political parties and groups in Karachi maintain armed militias (AI Feb. 1996, 22; The Herald Dec. 1994a, 34), and that "none of the militias reportedly hesitate to commit human rights abuses" to further political or criminal objectives (AI Feb. 1996, 22). While both MQM factions have repeatedly denied that their members are involved in human rights abuses in Karachi[6] (IPS 8 Dec. 1995; AI Feb. 1996, 22; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1335; Jang 31 Jan. 1996, qtd. in India Abroad 9 Feb. 1996, 10), human rights monitors and knowledgeable observers in Karachi indicate that MQM members have used violence to further their political ends (AI Feb. 1996, 22; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1335; HRW 1995, 166; The Herald Oct. 1995a, 46; ibid. May 1994a, 30). According to The Herald, the MQM leadership is "well-informed about which of its members are involved in [criminal and] terrorist activities" (Oct. 1995a, 46; ibid. May 1994a, 30), but chooses not to expel them because such people are useful to achieving the party's short-term goals (ibid.; ibid. May 1994a, 30).
4.1 Violence Against Security Forces
Government, media and human rights sources indicate that about 225 to 250 Karachi police personnel were killed by militants in 1995 (The Frontier Post 16 Mar. 1996; AFP 28 Feb. 1996; The Herald Jan. 1996a, 51; AI Feb. 1996, 23), as were at least 13 Rangers and 11 military personnel (ibid.). The Herald reports that most of these law enforcement personnel died in targeted killings rather than in shoot-outs with militants (Jan. 1996a, 55; ibid. Nov. 1995b, 49). According to Amnesty International, many were off-duty, unarmed and not in uniform, and many were abducted and tortured before being killed (AI Feb. 1996, 23). Sources indicate that many of these were retaliatory or revenge killings (ibid., 24; The Herald Jan. 1996a, 55). States The Herald: "Each time an MQM activist was killed [in 1995], the death of a law enforcement official invariably followed, after which more MQM men were gunned down. That these were vendetta killings is certain" (Jan. 1996a, 55).
On 18 July 1995, retired police official Raja Mohammad Ishaq "was abducted from a bus and tortured to death" (AI Feb. 1996, 23; Reuters 18 July 1995). His body was later found in a car in the Gulbahar area of Karachi (AI Feb. 1996, 23; Reuters 18 July 1995). In a separate incident on 18 July 1995, assistant subinspector Abdul Razzak was shot and killed in Gulbahar (AI Feb. 1996, 23; Reuters 18 July 1995). According to police he had been abducted, blindfolded and his hands and feet bound before being shot, after which his body was placed in a sack and dumped (AI Feb. 1996, 23; Reuters 18 July 1995). A note found on the body reportedly stated "anyone who confronts us will meet the same fate" (AI Feb. 1996, 23; Reuters 18 July 1995).
Other state personnel have also been targeted. On 30 September 1995, the bodies of two airmen from the Korangi airforce base were found on a deserted road in Korangi (FEER 19 Oct. 1995a, 24). The men had been abducted at gunpoint and then bound, gagged and shot in the head at point-blank range (ibid.). Colleagues of the slain men reportedly stated their regulation short haircuts had identified them as military personnel, and they were killed for this reason alone (ibid.). Military personnel have reportedly been instructed not to wear uniforms when off duty, and some officials have removed government-issue licence plates from their cars (ibid.).
Family members of police personnel and government officials have also been targeted. On 27 September 1995, two adult sons and the guard of Karachi police superintendent Kazi Abdul Rashid were killed when their car was ambushed outside their home in Central district (AI Feb. 1995, 24; FEER 19 Oct. 1995b, 28; AFP 27 Sept. 1995; AP 27 Sept. 1995). The driver and a second guard were seriously wounded in the attack (AFP 27 Sept. 1995; Reuters 27 Sept. 1995). On 15 October 1995, five family members of Karachi police deputy superintendent Khawaja Nisar were shot and killed by gunmen in their North Nazimabad home (AI Feb. 1995, 24; AFP 15 Oct. 1995; AP 15 Oct. 1995; Reuters 15 Oct. 1995). Nisar, who was not home at the time, had reportedly escaped an earlier rocket attack on his house (AFP 15 Oct. 1995). Police speculated this latest attack was in retaliation for the custodial deaths five days earlier of MQM activist Fahim Farooqi and his three colleagues (see subsection 4.4) (ibid.; AP 15 Oct. 1995). Also killed on 15 October 1995 were a Karachi police officer, the brother of a murdered Central district PPP official, and Ahmed Ali Soomro, a former advisor to the Sindh chief minister (AFP 15 Oct. 1995; AP 15 Oct. 1995; Reuters 15 Oct. 1995).
One person was killed and eight to ten people injured, most family members of police officers, in a 13 November 1995 mid-morning attack on a police station and adjacent housing compound in the Garden East area of South district (AFP 13 Nov. 1995; AP 13 Nov. 1995; DPA 13 Nov. 1995; Reuters 13 Nov. 1995; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1336). Militants hidden on the rooftops of adjacent buildings fired five to ten rocket-propelled grenades at the complex, followed by heavy automatic weapons fire, in a 20-minute gun battle in which one militant was killed (AFP 13 Nov. 1995; AP 13 Nov. 1995; DPA 13 Nov. 1995; Reuters 13 Nov. 1995). Police blamed the MQM for the attack (AFP 13 Nov. 1995; AP 13 Nov. 1995), which one official described as a "serious security breach" (Reuters 13 Nov. 1995). Rangers cordoned off the neighbourhood and conducted a house-to-house search for the remaining attackers (DPA 13 Nov. 1995); one source reports that "at least" 100 people were detained for questioning (Reuters 13 Nov. 1995).
On 23 November 1995, Ehsan Ali Shah, the apolitical younger brother of Sindh Chief Minister Abdullah Shah, and his friend and driver, were killed near his home in Karachi's Federal B Area (AI Feb. 1996, 24; The Herald Jan. 1996a, 55; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1336). Two days earlier the Urdu daily Takbeer had reportedly quoted an MQM source as stating that one of Shah's relatives would soon be killed (AI Feb. 1996, 24).
Many of the unidentified and mutilated bodies found in gunny sacks in Karachi in 1995 had notes attached declaring them to be police informants (ibid.; AP 27 Sept. 1995). On 14 August 1995, 14 people were killed in Karachi (The Herald Aug. 1995a, 27; The New York Times 15 Aug. 1995; The Guardian 15 Aug. 1995). The blindfolded and bullet-riddled bodies of six of the dead were found in the back of a minibus (The New York Times 15 Aug. 1995; JEN 15 Aug. 1995); one body was reportedly stuffed in a sack clutching a note stating "'a gift for Interior Minister Gen. Nasirullah Babar and the fate of an informer'" (AI Feb. 1996, 24; JEN 15 Aug. 1995). The mutilated body of another suspected police informant bearing a note with the message "a gift for Nasrullah Babaar" was found on 27 September 1995 (AP 27 Sept. 1995).
4.2 Violence Against Party Dissidents, Political Opponents and the Press
Sources indicate that members of both MQM factions abducted, tortured and killed members of the rival faction in 1995 (AI Feb. 1996, 26-28; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1337; Asian Survey Nov. 1995, 1003; AFP 21 Mar. 1995). After 30 months of official patronage the MQM(H) was "more or less dumped" when the military withdrew from Karachi on 30 November 1994 (The Herald Mar. 1995a, 31; ibid. Feb. 1995, 17), and the MQM(A) moved quickly to settle accounts and re-establish its authority in areas such as Nazimabad, Korangi, Pak Colony, Malir, Faisal Colony, Landhi and New Karachi (ibid. Jan. 1995b, 50; ibid. Feb. 1995, 17; The Far East and Australasia 1996 1996, 860-61). "What is usually described as
d
sniping' is actually a kind of gang war," reported The Herald in early 1995, with the Haqiqis "gradually losing the battle" (Jan. 1995b, 50; ibid. Feb. 1995, 17; ibid. Mar. 1995a, 31). While the MQM(A) leadership has reportedly characterized its anti-MQM(H) campaign as a drive to "purge the party of terrorist elements" (The Herald Oct. 1995a, 46), one source notes that extortion is a "major source of revenue" for both factions, and the fighting is sometimes about "who gets a bigger piece of the pie" (AFP 21 Mar. 1995).
On 13 February 1995, five teenage MQM(H) activists were killed and three wounded in a drive-by shooting in front of party offices in Nazimabad (The Herald Mar. 1995b, 31; DPA 14 Feb. 1995; AFP 14 Feb. 1995). Within 24 hours three MQM(A) activists were reportedly killed, as were another two MQM Haqiqis (The Herald Mar. 1995b, 31; AFP 14 Feb. 1995). On 12 March 1995, 12 or 13 MQM(H) activists were killed in Pak Colony, in Karachi's West district (The Herald Mar. 1995a, 27; ibid. Mar. 1995b, 31; AI Feb. 1996, 27; AFP 21 Mar. 1995; AFP 18 Jan. 1996). Six or seven of the activists were killed in a "gunbattle" at an MQM(H) "command centre" (AI Feb. 1996, 27; The Herald Mar. 1995b, 31; The New York Times 13 Mar. 1995), which was subsequently searched and set afire (ibid.), and the remainder were reportedly located and killed after the gunmen conducted a house-to-house search in the area (The Herald Mar. 1995b, 31). MQM(H) offices in Landhi, in East district, were attacked with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades on 17 January 1996, allegedly by MQM(A) militants (AI Feb. 1996, 27; AFP 18 Jan. 1996). The MQM(H) claims that 95 party workers were killed by MQM(A) militants in 1995 (AI Feb. 1996, 27). The MQM(H) was also responsible for attacks on MQM(A) activists; according to the HRCP, at least seven female MQM(A) workers were raped by MQM(H) activists in 1995 (Country Reports 1995 1996, 1337).
Mohajirs who join political parties other than the MQM have been subjected to violence (UNRISD June 1993, 25; AI Feb. 1996, 25-26), and according to Amnesty International, "seem to be particularly at risk" (ibid., 25). Amnesty International spoke to several mohajir PPP members who claim to have been harassed, threatened, beaten and had property destroyed by MQM activists in 1995 (Feb. 1996, 25-26). Government figures provided to Amnesty International indicate that 10 mohajir PPP members were killed in the four-month period 1 June 1995 to 30 September 1995 in West district alone (ibid., 26). Official statements, media reports and individual reports indicate that at least 32 PPP members were killed in Karachi in 1995 (ibid.).
Reports that the MQM uses torture cells against political opponents and party dissidents have been around for years (Human Rights in Developing Countries Yearbook 1994 1994, 305; AI Dec. 1993, 38-40; ibid. 5 Apr. 1994), and continued in 1995 (ibid. Feb. 1996, 26-27; The Herald July 1995b, 31-32, 35; Reuters 8 Jan. 1995; ibid. 8 June 1995). One alleged MQM-run torture cell was uncovered in a 22 July 1995 police and Rangers operation in Gulbahar, Central district (AI Feb. 1996, 26; The Herald July 1995b, 31; DPA 23 July 1995). Journalists taken to the site hours later reported seeing ropes, electric cables and blood-stained floors; area residents claimed the site had been occupied by militant youths ten days earlier and reported seeing blindfolded people being dragged inside (AI Feb. 1996, 25). Area residents reported the nearby Khajji Grounds, a football field, also had been used by MQM militants to ill-treat prisoners (ibid., 26; The Herald July 1995b, 35; DPA 23 July 1995). On 1 September 1995 Karachi police uncovered another alleged MQM(A)-run torture cell, this time in Korangi (Xinhua 3 Sept. 1995). As in the Gulbahar case journalists were given a tour of the cell, where they saw an axe, knives, a handgun, an iron chain and a rope, as well as the dried blood, clothes and jewellery of victims, some of whom police claimed had been tortured for ransom (ibid.). The cell had reportedly been in operation for six months, and was one of several uncovered in Korangi in the previous few weeks (Xinhua 3 Sept. 1995; Moneyclips 8 July 1995; AFP 6 July 1995).
Reporters, editors and publishers critical of the MQM have been threatened and attacked by MQM activists in recent years (Human Rights in Developing Countries Yearbook 1994 1994, 308; AI Feb. 1996, 22, 25; IPS 17 Mar. 1996). On 4 December 1994 Mohammad Salahuddin, editor of the Urdu weekly, Takbeer, was shot and killed outside his office in Karachi (AI 13 Dec. 1994; AI Jan. 1995, 32; AI Feb. 1996, 25; Asian Survey Feb. 1995, 144; The Herald Dec. 1994b, 38-39). Salahuddin had been highly critical of both the MQM (AI 13 Dec. 1994; AI Jan. 1995, 32; AI Feb. 1996, 25; The Herald Dec. 1994b, 39) and the PPP (ibid.), and in late 1991 had reportedly had his office ransacked and house set on fire by MQM activists (AI 13 Dec. 1994; ibid. Jan. 1995, 32; ibid. Feb. 1996, 25).
4.3 Alleged Violence Against Other Ethnic Groups
Sources indicate that members of certain ethnic groups in Karachi were deliberately targeted and killed in 1995 (ibid., 26; DPA 2 Nov. 1995), but determining responsibility for these killings is often "impossible" (AI Feb. 1996, 26, 28; AFP 21 Mar. 1995). According to Amnesty International, the killings may be intended to "create, maintain or spread a climate of fear" in Karachi (AI Feb. 1996, 23).
On 3 August 1995, the day after the killings of Farooq Putney and three other MQM workers in an alleged encounter with police near Karachi's airport (see subsection 4.4), 22 to 27 people were killed in what police described as MQM "revenge killings" (AI Feb. 1996, 24; AFP 4 Aug. 1995; The Herald Aug. 1995a, 27; AP 3 Aug. 1995a; DPA 3 Aug. 1995). Twelve of the dead were found in a minibus in Orangi, where they had been blindfolded, had their wrists tied and been killed with shots to the head and chest (AI Feb. 1996, 24; AFP 4 Aug. 1995; AP 3 Aug. 1995a; DPA 3 Aug. 1995). Police initially said the 12 victims appeared to have been chosen at random (AP 3 Aug. 1995a; ibid. 3 Aug. 1995b; AFP 4 Aug. 1995), but later claimed the dead were Punjabis and Sindhis killed by the MQM on suspicion of being police informants (AI Feb. 1996, 24). The MQM has denied responsibility for the 12 minibus killings, reportedly stating they were "the work of someone bent on fanning ethnic violence in Karachi" (The Herald Aug. 1995a, 28; DPA 3 Aug. 1995).
Another incident reportedly involving the MQM was the 2 November 1995 slaying of 15 Seraiki-speaking labourers from southern Punjab province in a house in Samanabad, Federal B Area (AI Feb. 1996, 26; DPA 2 Nov. 1995). The labourers were blindfolded, lined up against a wall and shot, and a note saying "a gift for Naseerullah Babar" left with the bodies (ibid.). Hundreds of Sindhis reportedly fled Gulbahar in July 1995 after MQM militants took control of the area and began targeting them (AI Feb. 1996, 26). One source indicates that Pathans and Baluchis, fed up with having their property destroyed by MQM gunmen, sometimes abduct, torture and kill mohajirs who stray into their neighbourhoods (The Ottawa Citizen 4 July 1995).
4.4 Abuses Against Ordinary Citizens and Mohajirs
Most political parties and factions in Karachi collect bhatta (protection money) from businessmen, shopkeepers, traders and ordinary citizens (AI Feb. 1996, 22; Freedom Review Mar.-Apr. 1996, 40; The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40a-40c), which they use to arm and maintain their militias (AI Feb. 1996, 22). An "age-old" practice in Karachi and other parts of Pakistan, bhatta collection reportedly became "much more deadly and organized" in the late 1980s and early 1990s when "the MQM and some PPP activists [came to] the forefront of this practice" (The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40b; Human Rights in Developing Countries Yearbook 1994 1994, 303). The practice became especially prevalent in Central and East districts, where it was considered a "routine affair," with party goondas (musclemen) approaching people at their residences (The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40b). Money is extorted at gunpoint or with threats (AI Feb. 1996, 22; The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40b), and those who refuse to pay are beaten and their businesses or property damaged (ibid.). While bhatta is collected by both MQM factions in Karachi (AFP 21 Mar. 1995; The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40a-40c; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1335; HRW 1995, 166), the Haqiqi faction has acquired "notoriety" in the practice (The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40c; HRW 1995, 166; also see subsection 6.1).
Sources indicate that MQM activists restricted Karachiites' freedom of movement in 1995 (AFP 4 July 1995; The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62). MQM militants erected barricades, blocked roads with burning vehicles and established checkpoints to prevent security forces personnel and activists of rival factions from entering MQM-controlled areas (AFP 4 July 1995; The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62). Residents reportedly could not pass without being spoken for by another resident (AFP 4 July 1995), and the checkpoints in some areas were impassable at night (ibid.; The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62). Large parts of predominantly mohajir areas such as Orangi township, a "rabbit warren of unplanned lanes and alleys, with only one road running through it" (AFP 18 Feb. 1996), and Korangi township (The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62), were "virtual no-go zone[s] for the rest of the city's residents," and off-limits even to heavily armed convoys of police and Rangers, especially after dark (AFP 18 Feb. 1996; The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62; The Ottawa Citizen 4 July 1995). Parts of Karachi were reportedly "in a state of complete paralysis," with residents unable to return home after sundown because of heavy fighting between the MQM(A) and MQM(H), and between both factions and the police (The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62; AFP 18 Feb. 1996; Reuters 1 Oct. 1995).
The MQM called "at least" 25 strikes in Karachi in 1995 (ibid. 18 Apr. 1996; AFP 21 Jan. 1996; Reuters 4 Jan. 1996; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1336, 1345), and at least seven in the first four months of 1996 (Reuters 18 Apr. 1996), most to protest harassment, arrest, torture and extrajudicial executions of party activists (AFP 21 Jan. 1996; Reuters 7 July 1995; AFP 24 Aug. 1995; Reuters 17 Feb. 1996). Although compliance with MQM-sponsored strikes was ostensibly voluntary (Reuters 3 Sept. 1995), MQM activists enforced them with violence and the threat of violence (Country Reports 1995 1996, 1336, 1345; AFP 10 Sept. 1995; Reuters 14 Mar. 1996), attacking motorists, pedestrians and businesses that tried to remain open (Country Reports 1995 1996, 1345). Fear of MQM-sponsored violence often prevented many Karachiites "from leaving their homes to go to work, schools, and the market" (ibid.; Reuters 4 Jan. 1996).

Reality of MQM

* International Murders of MQM: *

Dr. Imran Farooq's Murder

Dr Imran Farooq former leader of the MQM was involved in heinous crimes in Pakistan. Imran Farooq was never invited to the meeting held just before his death, which proves the point that he was ‘no more in the party’. The way MQM people are minding the family and parents of Imaran Farooq is like if they are in house arrest without open access to the media. We see images of Alataf Hussain weeping on the TV screens but nothing from the family, parents, brothers and sisters? How bizarre is that?

It would be useful and may help solving the current crime if Scotland Yard investigate/study the murder of Haji Jalal reportedly a British Citizen who was member of the MQM core committee, living in London for many years and killed in Karachi in July 2009, after having reported disagreements with Altaf Hussain. MQM issued no statement on his death and no one from the party attended his funeral?

The propaganda by MQM – Altaf in the Western countries that they are fighting against Taliban is utter ‘non sense’. A senior General once said, ‘MQM will disappear in the air once countered with Taliban’. They see every man with a beard from North of Pakistan as Taliban and sing from the hymn sheet coming from abroad. In fact it is a bunch of criminals and killers now violating British laws for many years.

Since 2001, MQM has done nothing practical in fight against ‘terrorism’ apart from sending faxes and false reports to the foreign embassies and governments. They are part of every government since 2002 and done nothing apart from collecting extortion money from Karachi and sending to London via illegal channels. The over exaggerate and propagate visits of junior US officials in media as if White House and President Obama is keeping them in the loop. They have become part of the problem than part of the solution for Pakistan and burden on British taxpayers.

Dr Imran Farooq had Rs 50 Lakhs (Rs. 5 million) head money, and was a convicted and charged in Major Kaleem’s case. The others who were charged are Altaf Hussain (London), Saleem Shahzad (London), Aftab Ahmed, Ashfaq Chief, Javed Kazmi and Hajji Jalal (was in London and eliminated in Karachi), are reportedly in London and frequently appear on TV screens in the meetings of inner circle of Altaf Hussain. The rest are Yousuf, Nadeem Ayubi, Ayub Shah, Ismail alias Sitara, Ashraf Zaidi in USA, Sajid Azad, Asghar Chacha, Rehan Zaidi and Safdar Baqri.

On 5th February 1998 Advocate-General Shaukat Zubedi asked for a RE-TRIAL before a competent court, but the court didn’t agree with his contention and acquitted the appellants. Sind High Court acquitted them because the prosecution seemingly did not peruse the matter. Well if prosecution don’t persue the case under ‘political pressures’, defence is going to win but that does not mean justice has been done.

The incident happened on June 20, 1991 and the FIR of the incident was lodged on June 24. The accused in the case had been charged with kidnapping the army officers and torturing them. Trial before STA Court No. 3 began before judge Ghazanfar Ali Shah in March 1993 and the judgment was delivered on June 9, 1994 when Altaf Hussain was in London and not in Pakistan.

Major Kaleem and three other Pakistan Army officers were patrolling the Landhi area in civilian clothes in an army jeep when about 20-armed terrorists took them hostage after seizing their weapons. The army men were taken to a place called White House in Landhi a torture cell where they were allegedly tortured and kept for seven hours. They were rescued when the police reached the place.

It was Altaf Hussain and MQM who issued a memo to his workers saying,” if there was war between Indian and Pakistan, MQM workers will be remain neutral”. Why Altaf Hussain did issue such treacherous instructions? Whose side is he on? He has already chosen to be a British Citizen.

A senior analyst said, “Altaf Hussian of MQM is becoming a headache for the British Government. His so-called International Secretariat in London is centre of criminal activities. Police would be interested to know who is funding this secretariat and are there any mafia links? Altaf and his cronies allegedly own quite a few properties in London worth millions. Well then what is Serious Fraud Office in Scotland Yard doing about it as it was reported in a London weekly newspaper? Well for Serious Fraud Office properties are allegedly worth Millions and there is no reason for SFO not to investigate if they are not doing already?”

A senior British parliamentarian said to me, “I am living here for many decades and I cannot afford these kinds of properties”. Some one said, ‘in an ideal situation if British Government treat MQM and its leader by law without protecting with legal loopholes, like every one else and not as an ‘asset’, the whole so called Mafia den would be closed down in minutes? Surely security services and GCHQ have records of all the coded communications, speeches?

It seems Altaf Hussain soon will be questioned in local police station under caution for inciting hatred, racism, money laundering, and financial corruption. His passport may be confiscated and travel restrictions might be imposed on all the inner circle.

Can someone like (Altaf Hussain) be tried under Race Hate crimes in Britain, (keeping in view his inflammatory speeches), I asked senior British lawyer Amjad Malik?

He said, “I must say that if some one in Britain used his oratory in a negative way and target his audience to create hatred against any other class in that society which results in violent activities against those group or community and/or results in killings and entails acts committed at any time as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population with knowledge of the attacker including offences such as murder, blackmailing, targeted killing in revenge and to create terror, torture, rape, severe deprivation of liberty, enforced disappearance of persons, damage to property or Genocide, Terrorist activities, or Organised crimes to advance political aims, or he incites racial and religious hatred by using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour the answer is yes, that person may be investigated and later charged under s. 18 of Public Order Act 1986 and further for using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or displays any writing , sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting under s.4(a) Public Order Act 1986.In my opinion those oratory intimidation and criminal behaviour will be considered racially aggravated offences if racially motivated under s.28(1)a of Crime and Disorder Act 1998 which confirms ‘that at the time of committing the offence, or immediately before or after doing so, the offender demonstrates towards the victim of the offence hostility based on the victims membership or (presumed membership) of a racial group; or b) the offence is motivated (wholly or partly) by hostility towards members of a racial group based on their membership of that group’. Incitement for racial hatred is similar to incitement of race and religious hatred which we see under s.29a and b) of Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006. I will give example the case of Abu Hamza here as an example as in similar situation one can be investigated by UK police under Police and Criminal Evidence Act and may be asked to attend an interview under caution to see if there is a satisfactory response to the allegations of incitement to racial hatred and as a result of that investigation may be charged by the State if there is sufficient evidence to prosecute and one can be tried in UK under existing national laws, and if one is foreign national and/or naturalised, he can be stripped off his nationality and may be extradited to the State where he originally belongs and where those crimes actually take effect subject to some conditions and human rights provisions. In all circumstances Britain will offer a fair trial to the accused”.

There is a possibility that Altaf Hussain and his gang might be extradited to Pakistan under Interpol ‘Red Warrant’ after the nullification of National Reconciliation Ordinance, which some people called ‘National Robbers Ordinance’.

Altaf Hussain should be sacked from the leadership, brought to justice and MQM must elect a new local Pakistan based leader if they are a political party and not a mafia. MQM need to ‘disarm’ as soon as possible to save more innocent lives in Karachi and in London. Many people in Karachi have grievances against Altaf Hussain’s gang for killings of their relatives. He should be brought to justice before some one brought ‘gang war on the streets of London’.

International Murders of MQM: *
Dr Imran Farooq - life & death!
by Dr Nadia Khan

Finally, Dr. Imran Farooq has met with his fate! Each one has to die but few people leave everlasting marks on history pages for their remembrance whereas late Imran Farooq has ended up this world with broken heart, very few MQM workers know that!

Altaf Hussain, in his most emotional & dramatic appearance in front of media men, condemning the murder of Imran Farooq, cried and presented his sentiments showing his 'love' for a man once he was his loyalist and called him 'Martyr of Revolution.' Though he has received this title but no one knows what efforts late Imran Farooq has on his credit for revolution! As few days before, Altaf Hussain, in one of his most controversial speech, had invited Army Generals to bring the country back on corruption-free path to avoid People’s Revolution. He hinted that he was ‘gifted’ with his lieutenant murder as he has started the talk of revolution. One could conclude that in his speech he had spared Army or ISI, so it is somebody else for whom Altaf Hussain is saying that ‘the murderers of Imran Farooq could not be spared by Allah!’

The cunning comments and emotional ‘dialogues’ of Altaf Hussain have paved the way for many thinkers to observe his body-language carefully as what extra ordinary late ex-convener had done as he deserves such admiration, but only after his death.

As a fact, the late convener was out of London-based party leadership for over two years. He was suspended to perform any administrative activities of the party. The party was directly run by the top leader (Altaf Hussain) even ex-convener had no right to conduct any official party men meeting in party’s Edge ware office. He wasn’t consulted over core party issues and sidelined fully. His last political appearance was in Dr. Shahid Masood’s “Mayray Mutabiq” around two & half years ago when his tone was down and one could easily identify as what trauma is going on with this leader!

With this state of situation, the highest-ever tribute by the top leadership is eye-opener, as something is wrong somewhere. Either at party end, or at late ex-convener end, or at top leadership end. No matter what ever is the truth, the last remnant of 1984 MQM is gone with the wind. Late Azeem Ahmed Tariq was the top notch leader of the then MQM, and surprisingly Altaf Hussain saying on 17th September 2010 that “murder of Imran Farooq is the biggest ever sad news for me” has astonished many observers that the “killing of Azeem Ahmed Tariq wasn’t the biggest ever sad news for him!”

Farooq Sattar in his tribute has said that “he was the symbol of respect & nobility in Pakistani politics.” Like all I am also surprised as what Imran Farooq has credited to Pakistani politics except his 7 years of struggle for MQM against 1992 Army Operation, arranging group of hardcore MQM workers to fight against Army men in Karachi and taking the city hostage as & when needed. Finally his links with Indian consulate had been exposed (where he was instrumental in arranging Indian visas for number of party workers) to leave the country and out of Pakistani law. This was the main cause of Indian Consulate, Karachi office closure.

When his murder news was broke out, I wanted to observe the ‘reaction’ in Karachi to verify the words of party leader. By 17th September night I was in Karachi. As per past experiences, when any low-profile party worker or Sector in charge had died or killed then MQM workers took the whole city hostage killing scores of innocent non-Muhajirs and burning out public properties. It was a shock for me that for such a high-value party leader ‘once who was the only source of resistance against Army from 92-97,’ MQM party workers reaction was most mild in its kind. Only public transport was off the road, probably due to their own fear, otherwise streets were not empty, shops were open partially and most strange factor was MQM workers behavior; don’t interfere in people’s actions. No procession, no protest (like the way MQM does normally), no black banners etc. Whole Karachi city was calm!

Cool and calm Karachi on 17th Sept - was it a tribute to hardcore loyalist of Altaf Hussain or the ex-convener of Rabita Committee, once who was the symbol of ‘loyalty & resistance’ for Altaf group among MQM workers? I was surprised!

Late Imran Farooq, while continuing his struggle against the then Army Operation, when realized that all his loyal supporters either left Karachi or caught by the security agencies, had adopted a new approach of survival. He had taken refuge in Dawat e Islami organization, changed his outlook and started wearing green turban and had grown the long beard. Many MQM criminal elements had adopted this approach and had hidden themselves either in the fold of Tableghee Jamat or Dawat e Islami as both the organizations take people for forty days or four months or for one year, city to city, town to town, and country to country staying in mosques only and preaching the basics of Islam. This is the safest way of hiding himself and changing the outlook by making security agencies fool. When Imran Farooq had arrived in London, he had boarded from Lahore Airport, and his outlook was the perfect example of a Dawat e Islami preacher. I assume that with same outlook he had got UK visa and made all security agencies fool to get out of the country. His maiden press-conference at MQM office London had showed him with long beard. Later, he had changed his outlook after getting the political asylum and returned back to the path of secular MQM.

Insiders say that it was the main cause of Altaf Hussain dissatisfaction with him as ‘how Imran Farooq came out of Pakistan without the blessing of ISI?” Either he became the double-cross agent having links with ISI Generals and sitting in party’s main office in London controlling workers paving the way for him to take over the party leadership! This doubt gradually reached to highest level and when Altaf Hussain had decided to take side of General Mushraff, late Imran Farooq was the most critical voice within the party! This was an alarming situation and he became moved out to a level when he was stabbed to death, he was without any guard or close aide, alone on his evening walk!

As Muslims, we strongly believe in Allah’s justice! The man who controls Karachi with his few loyalists, no one cries for him in Karachi when he died. Has he ever thought in his dreams? He spends 7 precious years of his life, by putting his own life at stake, for a party who kicked him out of it in few seconds! The Heavenly justice is visible for those who kills innocent people under the banner of ‘party protest’ but justice take its way – though slowly- but finally. No one will cry for such elements

Be it Shaheed Dr Khjasta (died by snipers firing on 7th Feb 1991; a day of MQM strike at Gulshan Chawrangi) till Khaled Bin Waleed killing over skin dispute, hardcore leaders like Dr. Imran Farooq shall be held responsible for setting up militant wings within political parties like MQM!!!

International Murders of MQM: *
Karachi - South Africa - London
Who killed Haji Jalal, Javaid Shaikh and Imran Farooq?

By Dr Shahid Qureshi
Thursday 23 Sep 2010
Road side assassination of MQM gangster Haji Jalal, his sons and innocent bystander in Karachi and alleged street murder of Imran Farooq in London left many questions for the living, then the answers. This is second international murder of MQM leader first one was in South Africa when a senior MQM organiser Javeed Shaikh was killed.
According to news reports published on 9th July 2009, “Hajji Jalal senior member of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), two of his sons and a passer-by were shot dead on 8th July 2009, within the area of Landhi police station. The deceased include MQM leader Hajji Jalal, 60, his sons Usman Jalal, Abdullah Jalal and a passer-by Adnan Sohail, while the injured were Ahad and Raja who were admitted with critical injuries. Jalal was elected as counsellor of Landhi 4 in 1987, and was a renowned leader of the MQM. Jalal had been detained in Central Jail Karachi for several years in the case of abduction of Pakistan Army Major Kaleem”.

MQM gangster Hajji Jalal was murdered on the road in broad day light while Altaf Hussain was/ is in full control of Karachi? Hajji Jalal was in the inner circle of the self exiled British Citizen and London based leader of MQM Altaf Hussain. He was one of the criminals wanted in connection with the torture and kidnapping of Pakistan Army Major Kaleem and his companions. He was killed with his two sons in suspicious circumstances and we did not see much of Altaf Hussain usual enthusiasm and performance asking for the arrest of the killers. Why no one from MQM higher command in Karachi attended his funeral and his wife allegedly blaming Altaf Hussain for the killing? He was a man with many secrets? Who ordered and benefited from his elimination? If Haji Jalal was a British citizen Scotland Yard can ask for his investigation report from the Karachi police?

MQM terrorists and criminals who were charged and convicted in Major Kaleem’s case were Altaf Hussain, Saleem Shahzad, Dr Imran Farooq with Rs 50 Laks head money, Aftab Ahmed, Ashfaq Chief, Javed Kazmi and late Hajji Jalal, reportedly in London and frequently appear on TV screens in the meetings of inner circle of Altaf Hussain. The rest are Yousuf, Nadeem Ayubi, Ayub Shah, Ismail alias Sitara, Ashraf Zaidi in USA, Sajid Azad, Asghar Chacha, Rehan Zaidi and Safdar Baqri.

He was close ally of the self exiled leader now British asset Altaf Hussain? Then who killed him? Why MQM did not protest as they normally do and no senior leader attended his funeral? He died with lots of secrets with him? Was it an inside job? A source said that when Azeem Ahmed Tariq Chainman of the MQM was killed in his house, it was allegedly ‘Syed Mustafa Kamal former ‘mayor’ Nazim of Karachi who opened the door for the killers’. Azeem Ahmed Tariq use to call him ‘nephew’. Well there are many mafia style skeletons in the MQM’s closet. The others who were allegedly killed as inside job after Azeem Ahmed Tariq were, Ahsan Tariq (Finance Secretary), Senator Mustafa Kamal, Dr Nishat Malik, Razaq Khan, Shahood Hasmi and Khalid bin Waleed.

There are many similarities among both the criminals Imran Farooq and Haji Jalal:

Both were in the inner most golden circle of the mafia
Both were allegedly linked with the criminal activities
Both were charged and convicted in Pakistan Army Major Kaleem abduction case
Both lived in London under British protection after claiming asylum
Both had disagreements with boss Altaf Hussain
Both killed on the road in gruesome manner
MQM issued no statement on Hajia Jalal and his sons killings,
No MQM leader attended his funeral. Why?
But in case of Imran Farooq, MQM-Altaf claimed the ‘dead man’ and re-instated his position after his death as convener of the party. Why?
Is there a policy change for image and perception of the party?
The whole family of Imran Farooq is under MQM custody as media is managed closely and Karachi based media groups are too scared even to publish the comments of his father that ‘my son was living hand to mouth modestly (while Altaf and Co are rolling in millions thanks to the curtsey of ‘tycoons of Karachi’.

In past few months Pakistan Rangers and other security agencies have arrested terrorists of MQM who confessed their involvement in ‘targeted killings’ and also receiving orders from London. The MQM assassins from South Africa are also reportedly activated and could have been used for international crimes.

It is reported that approximately 27 terrorists have been arrested who confessed their crimes including murder, extortion and ‘targeted killings’. The report prepared by the provincial Home Department in Karachi might provide clues about the master minds of Imran Farooq’s assassination. There is a possibility that Scotland Yard might want to access the report in connection with the Imran Farooq murder case as well trace the ‘hidden assets’ of this poor party, worth beyond imagination. It is reported that money transferred by illegal channels is invested in properties, restaurants, and businesses.

There is a little doubt that self exiled mafia style boss of MQM - Altaf Hussain proved to be a true asset to many stake holders and probably to the highest bidders’. Altaf Hussain has never reportedly worked and paid any taxes since his arrival in the United Kingdom. If he has, no body knows about it.

The spin by the certain elements that Taliban could have been involved in the gruesome murder of Imran Farooq a former leader of the MQM in London sounds too far fetched? There are many active and current MQM leaders who are living and reaping the fruits of power in Pakistan. None of them is even scratched by any religious group let alone so called criminal Taliban.

In response to an introductory comment about Imran Farooq as anti-taliban politician from the presenter of LBC London Radio, I said that, ‘taliban don’t have the capacity to do this kind of killing in London. Moreover what benefit would they get by killing a non active and side lined MQM politician? It is not an attention seeking exercise or a joke? The whole world knows that British Police and security services would hunt them down and MQM’s taliban spin will not work’ because MQM might have some ‘political mileage’ for the British government. But surely no compromises would be made at the cost of British national security and public order.

One can describe this so called liberal and false anti-taliban stance of MQM- Altaf Hussain by connecting Imran Farooq’s killing with Taliban in the words of Lord Nelson, ‘if you can’t baffle them with brilliance than dazzle them with bull****’

THE MOHAJIR QAUMI MOVEMENT (MQM) IN KARACHI JANUARY 1995-APRIL 1996
November 1996

Disclaimer
4. HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES BY THE MQM
Sources indicate that many political parties and groups in Karachi maintain armed militias (AI Feb. 1996, 22; The Herald Dec. 1994a, 34), and that "none of the militias reportedly hesitate to commit human rights abuses" to further political or criminal objectives (AI Feb. 1996, 22). While both MQM factions have repeatedly denied that their members are involved in human rights abuses in Karachi[6] (IPS 8 Dec. 1995; AI Feb. 1996, 22; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1335; Jang 31 Jan. 1996, qtd. in India Abroad 9 Feb. 1996, 10), human rights monitors and knowledgeable observers in Karachi indicate that MQM members have used violence to further their political ends (AI Feb. 1996, 22; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1335; HRW 1995, 166; The Herald Oct. 1995a, 46; ibid. May 1994a, 30). According to The Herald, the MQM leadership is "well-informed about which of its members are involved in [criminal and] terrorist activities" (Oct. 1995a, 46; ibid. May 1994a, 30), but chooses not to expel them because such people are useful to achieving the party's short-term goals (ibid.; ibid. May 1994a, 30).

4.1 Violence Against Security Forces
Government, media and human rights sources indicate that about 225 to 250 Karachi police personnel were killed by militants in 1995 (The Frontier Post 16 Mar. 1996; AFP 28 Feb. 1996; The Herald Jan. 1996a, 51; AI Feb. 1996, 23), as were at least 13 Rangers and 11 military personnel (ibid.). The Herald reports that most of these law enforcement personnel died in targeted killings rather than in shoot-outs with militants (Jan. 1996a, 55; ibid. Nov. 1995b, 49). According to Amnesty International, many were off-duty, unarmed and not in uniform, and many were abducted and tortured before being killed (AI Feb. 1996, 23). Sources indicate that many of these were retaliatory or revenge killings (ibid., 24; The Herald Jan. 1996a, 55). States The Herald: "Each time an MQM activist was killed [in 1995], the death of a law enforcement official invariably followed, after which more MQM men were gunned down. That these were vendetta killings is certain" (Jan. 1996a, 55).

On 18 July 1995, retired police official Raja Mohammad Ishaq "was abducted from a bus and tortured to death" (AI Feb. 1996, 23; Reuters 18 July 1995). His body was later found in a car in the Gulbahar area of Karachi (AI Feb. 1996, 23; Reuters 18 July 1995). In a separate incident on 18 July 1995, assistant subinspector Abdul Razzak was shot and killed in Gulbahar (AI Feb. 1996, 23; Reuters 18 July 1995). According to police he had been abducted, blindfolded and his hands and feet bound before being shot, after which his body was placed in a sack and dumped (AI Feb. 1996, 23; Reuters 18 July 1995). A note found on the body reportedly stated "anyone who confronts us will meet the same fate" (AI Feb. 1996, 23; Reuters 18 July 1995).

Other state personnel have also been targeted. On 30 September 1995, the bodies of two airmen from the Korangi airforce base were found on a deserted road in Korangi (FEER 19 Oct. 1995a, 24). The men had been abducted at gunpoint and then bound, gagged and shot in the head at point-blank range (ibid.). Colleagues of the slain men reportedly stated their regulation short haircuts had identified them as military personnel, and they were killed for this reason alone (ibid.). Military personnel have reportedly been instructed not to wear uniforms when off duty, and some officials have removed government-issue licence plates from their cars (ibid.).

Family members of police personnel and government officials have also been targeted. On 27 September 1995, two adult sons and the guard of Karachi police superintendent Kazi Abdul Rashid were killed when their car was ambushed outside their home in Central district (AI Feb. 1995, 24; FEER 19 Oct. 1995b, 28; AFP 27 Sept. 1995; AP 27 Sept. 1995). The driver and a second guard were seriously wounded in the attack (AFP 27 Sept. 1995; Reuters 27 Sept. 1995). On 15 October 1995, five family members of Karachi police deputy superintendent Khawaja Nisar were shot and killed by gunmen in their North Nazimabad home (AI Feb. 1995, 24; AFP 15 Oct. 1995; AP 15 Oct. 1995; Reuters 15 Oct. 1995). Nisar, who was not home at the time, had reportedly escaped an earlier rocket attack on his house (AFP 15 Oct. 1995). Police speculated this latest attack was in retaliation for the custodial deaths five days earlier of MQM activist Fahim Farooqi and his three colleagues (see subsection 4.4) (ibid.; AP 15 Oct. 1995). Also killed on 15 October 1995 were a Karachi police officer, the brother of a murdered Central district PPP official, and Ahmed Ali Soomro, a former advisor to the Sindh chief minister (AFP 15 Oct. 1995; AP 15 Oct. 1995; Reuters 15 Oct. 1995).

One person was killed and eight to ten people injured, most family members of police officers, in a 13 November 1995 mid-morning attack on a police station and adjacent housing compound in the Garden East area of South district (AFP 13 Nov. 1995; AP 13 Nov. 1995; DPA 13 Nov. 1995; Reuters 13 Nov. 1995; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1336). Militants hidden on the rooftops of adjacent buildings fired five to ten rocket-propelled grenades at the complex, followed by heavy automatic weapons fire, in a 20-minute gun battle in which one militant was killed (AFP 13 Nov. 1995; AP 13 Nov. 1995; DPA 13 Nov. 1995; Reuters 13 Nov. 1995). Police blamed the MQM for the attack (AFP 13 Nov. 1995; AP 13 Nov. 1995), which one official described as a "serious security breach" (Reuters 13 Nov. 1995). Rangers cordoned off the neighbourhood and conducted a house-to-house search for the remaining attackers (DPA 13 Nov. 1995); one source reports that "at least" 100 people were detained for questioning (Reuters 13 Nov. 1995).

On 23 November 1995, Ehsan Ali Shah, the apolitical younger brother of Sindh Chief Minister Abdullah Shah, and his friend and driver, were killed near his home in Karachi's Federal B Area (AI Feb. 1996, 24; The Herald Jan. 1996a, 55; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1336). Two days earlier the Urdu daily Takbeer had reportedly quoted an MQM source as stating that one of Shah's relatives would soon be killed (AI Feb. 1996, 24).

Many of the unidentified and mutilated bodies found in gunny sacks in Karachi in 1995 had notes attached declaring them to be police informants (ibid.; AP 27 Sept. 1995). On 14 August 1995, 14 people were killed in Karachi (The Herald Aug. 1995a, 27; The New York Times 15 Aug. 1995; The Guardian 15 Aug. 1995). The blindfolded and bullet-riddled bodies of six of the dead were found in the back of a minibus (The New York Times 15 Aug. 1995; JEN 15 Aug. 1995); one body was reportedly stuffed in a sack clutching a note stating "'a gift for Interior Minister Gen. Nasirullah Babar and the fate of an informer'" (AI Feb. 1996, 24; JEN 15 Aug. 1995). The mutilated body of another suspected police informant bearing a note with the message "a gift for Nasrullah Babaar" was found on 27 September 1995 (AP 27 Sept. 1995).

4.2 Violence Against Party Dissidents, Political Opponents and the Press
Sources indicate that members of both MQM factions abducted, tortured and killed members of the rival faction in 1995 (AI Feb. 1996, 26-28; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1337; Asian Survey Nov. 1995, 1003; AFP 21 Mar. 1995). After 30 months of official patronage the MQM(H) was "more or less dumped" when the military withdrew from Karachi on 30 November 1994 (The Herald Mar. 1995a, 31; ibid. Feb. 1995, 17), and the MQM(A) moved quickly to settle accounts and re-establish its authority in areas such as Nazimabad, Korangi, Pak Colony, Malir, Faisal Colony, Landhi and New Karachi (ibid. Jan. 1995b, 50; ibid. Feb. 1995, 17; The Far East and Australasia 1996 1996, 860-61). "What is usually described as


dsniping' is actually a kind of gang war," reported The Herald in early 1995, with the Haqiqis "gradually losing the battle" (Jan. 1995b, 50; ibid. Feb. 1995, 17; ibid. Mar. 1995a, 31). While the MQM(A) leadership has reportedly characterized its anti-MQM(H) campaign as a drive to "purge the party of terrorist elements" (The Herald Oct. 1995a, 46), one source notes that extortion is a "major source of revenue" for both factions, and the fighting is sometimes about "who gets a bigger piece of the pie" (AFP 21 Mar. 1995).

On 13 February 1995, five teenage MQM(H) activists were killed and three wounded in a drive-by shooting in front of party offices in Nazimabad (The Herald Mar. 1995b, 31; DPA 14 Feb. 1995; AFP 14 Feb. 1995). Within 24 hours three MQM(A) activists were reportedly killed, as were another two MQM Haqiqis (The Herald Mar. 1995b, 31; AFP 14 Feb. 1995). On 12 March 1995, 12 or 13 MQM(H) activists were killed in Pak Colony, in Karachi's West district (The Herald Mar. 1995a, 27; ibid. Mar. 1995b, 31; AI Feb. 1996, 27; AFP 21 Mar. 1995; AFP 18 Jan. 1996). Six or seven of the activists were killed in a "gunbattle" at an MQM(H) "command centre" (AI Feb. 1996, 27; The Herald Mar. 1995b, 31; The New York Times 13 Mar. 1995), which was subsequently searched and set afire (ibid.), and the remainder were reportedly located and killed after the gunmen conducted a house-to-house search in the area (The Herald Mar. 1995b, 31). MQM(H) offices in Landhi, in East district, were attacked with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades on 17 January 1996, allegedly by MQM(A) militants (AI Feb. 1996, 27; AFP 18 Jan. 1996). The MQM(H) claims that 95 party workers were killed by MQM(A) militants in 1995 (AI Feb. 1996, 27). The MQM(H) was also responsible for attacks on MQM(A) activists; according to the HRCP, at least seven female MQM(A) workers were raped by MQM(H) activists in 1995 (Country Reports 1995 1996, 1337).

Mohajirs who join political parties other than the MQM have been subjected to violence (UNRISD June 1993, 25; AI Feb. 1996, 25-26), and according to Amnesty International, "seem to be particularly at risk" (ibid., 25). Amnesty International spoke to several mohajir PPP members who claim to have been harassed, threatened, beaten and had property destroyed by MQM activists in 1995 (Feb. 1996, 25-26). Government figures provided to Amnesty International indicate that 10 mohajir PPP members were killed in the four-month period 1 June 1995 to 30 September 1995 in West district alone (ibid., 26). Official statements, media reports and individual reports indicate that at least 32 PPP members were killed in Karachi in 1995 (ibid.).

Reports that the MQM uses torture cells against political opponents and party dissidents have been around for years (Human Rights in Developing Countries Yearbook 1994 1994, 305; AI Dec. 1993, 38-40; ibid. 5 Apr. 1994), and continued in 1995 (ibid. Feb. 1996, 26-27; The Herald July 1995b, 31-32, 35; Reuters 8 Jan. 1995; ibid. 8 June 1995). One alleged MQM-run torture cell was uncovered in a 22 July 1995 police and Rangers operation in Gulbahar, Central district (AI Feb. 1996, 26; The Herald July 1995b, 31; DPA 23 July 1995). Journalists taken to the site hours later reported seeing ropes, electric cables and blood-stained floors; area residents claimed the site had been occupied by militant youths ten days earlier and reported seeing blindfolded people being dragged inside (AI Feb. 1996, 25). Area residents reported the nearby Khajji Grounds, a football field, also had been used by MQM militants to ill-treat prisoners (ibid., 26; The Herald July 1995b, 35; DPA 23 July 1995). On 1 September 1995 Karachi police uncovered another alleged MQM(A)-run torture cell, this time in Korangi (Xinhua 3 Sept. 1995). As in the Gulbahar case journalists were given a tour of the cell, where they saw an axe, knives, a handgun, an iron chain and a rope, as well as the dried blood, clothes and jewellery of victims, some of whom police claimed had been tortured for ransom (ibid.). The cell had reportedly been in operation for six months, and was one of several uncovered in Korangi in the previous few weeks (Xinhua 3 Sept. 1995; Moneyclips 8 July 1995; AFP 6 July 1995).

Reporters, editors and publishers critical of the MQM have been threatened and attacked by MQM activists in recent years (Human Rights in Developing Countries Yearbook 1994 1994, 308; AI Feb. 1996, 22, 25; IPS 17 Mar. 1996). On 4 December 1994 Mohammad Salahuddin, editor of the Urdu weekly, Takbeer, was shot and killed outside his office in Karachi (AI 13 Dec. 1994; AI Jan. 1995, 32; AI Feb. 1996, 25; Asian Survey Feb. 1995, 144; The Herald Dec. 1994b, 38-39). Salahuddin had been highly critical of both the MQM (AI 13 Dec. 1994; AI Jan. 1995, 32; AI Feb. 1996, 25; The Herald Dec. 1994b, 39) and the PPP (ibid.), and in late 1991 had reportedly had his office ransacked and house set on fire by MQM activists (AI 13 Dec. 1994; ibid. Jan. 1995, 32; ibid. Feb. 1996, 25).

4.3 Alleged Violence Against Other Ethnic Groups
Sources indicate that members of certain ethnic groups in Karachi were deliberately targeted and killed in 1995 (ibid., 26; DPA 2 Nov. 1995), but determining responsibility for these killings is often "impossible" (AI Feb. 1996, 26, 28; AFP 21 Mar. 1995). According to Amnesty International, the killings may be intended to "create, maintain or spread a climate of fear" in Karachi (AI Feb. 1996, 23).

On 3 August 1995, the day after the killings of Farooq Putney and three other MQM workers in an alleged encounter with police near Karachi's airport (see subsection 4.4), 22 to 27 people were killed in what police described as MQM "revenge killings" (AI Feb. 1996, 24; AFP 4 Aug. 1995; The Herald Aug. 1995a, 27; AP 3 Aug. 1995a; DPA 3 Aug. 1995). Twelve of the dead were found in a minibus in Orangi, where they had been blindfolded, had their wrists tied and been killed with shots to the head and chest (AI Feb. 1996, 24; AFP 4 Aug. 1995; AP 3 Aug. 1995a; DPA 3 Aug. 1995). Police initially said the 12 victims appeared to have been chosen at random (AP 3 Aug. 1995a; ibid. 3 Aug. 1995b; AFP 4 Aug. 1995), but later claimed the dead were Punjabis and Sindhis killed by the MQM on suspicion of being police informants (AI Feb. 1996, 24). The MQM has denied responsibility for the 12 minibus killings, reportedly stating they were "the work of someone bent on fanning ethnic violence in Karachi" (The Herald Aug. 1995a, 28; DPA 3 Aug. 1995).

Another incident reportedly involving the MQM was the 2 November 1995 slaying of 15 Seraiki-speaking labourers from southern Punjab province in a house in Samanabad, Federal B Area (AI Feb. 1996, 26; DPA 2 Nov. 1995). The labourers were blindfolded, lined up against a wall and shot, and a note saying "a gift for Naseerullah Babar" left with the bodies (ibid.). Hundreds of Sindhis reportedly fled Gulbahar in July 1995 after MQM militants took control of the area and began targeting them (AI Feb. 1996, 26). One source indicates that Pathans and Baluchis, fed up with having their property destroyed by MQM gunmen, sometimes abduct, torture and kill mohajirs who stray into their neighbourhoods (The Ottawa Citizen 4 July 1995).

4.4 Abuses Against Ordinary Citizens and Mohajirs
Most political parties and factions in Karachi collect bhatta (protection money) from businessmen, shopkeepers, traders and ordinary citizens (AI Feb. 1996, 22; Freedom Review Mar.-Apr. 1996, 40; The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40a-40c), which they use to arm and maintain their militias (AI Feb. 1996, 22). An "age-old" practice in Karachi and other parts of Pakistan, bhatta collection reportedly became "much more deadly and organized" in the late 1980s and early 1990s when "the MQM and some PPP activists [came to] the forefront of this practice" (The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40b; Human Rights in Developing Countries Yearbook 1994 1994, 303). The practice became especially prevalent in Central and East districts, where it was considered a "routine affair," with party goondas (musclemen) approaching people at their residences (The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40b). Money is extorted at gunpoint or with threats (AI Feb. 1996, 22; The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40b), and those who refuse to pay are beaten and their businesses or property damaged (ibid.). While bhatta is collected by both MQM factions in Karachi (AFP 21 Mar. 1995; The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40a-40c; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1335; HRW 1995, 166), the Haqiqi faction has acquired "notoriety" in the practice (The Herald Mar. 1995d, 40c; HRW 1995, 166; also see subsection 6.1).

Sources indicate that MQM activists restricted Karachiites' freedom of movement in 1995 (AFP 4 July 1995; The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62). MQM militants erected barricades, blocked roads with burning vehicles and established checkpoints to prevent security forces personnel and activists of rival factions from entering MQM-controlled areas (AFP 4 July 1995; The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62). Residents reportedly could not pass without being spoken for by another resident (AFP 4 July 1995), and the checkpoints in some areas were impassable at night (ibid.; The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62). Large parts of predominantly mohajir areas such as Orangi township, a "rabbit warren of unplanned lanes and alleys, with only one road running through it" (AFP 18 Feb. 1996), and Korangi township (The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62), were "virtual no-go zone[s] for the rest of the city's residents," and off-limits even to heavily armed convoys of police and Rangers, especially after dark (AFP 18 Feb. 1996; The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62; The Ottawa Citizen 4 July 1995). Parts of Karachi were reportedly "in a state of complete paralysis," with residents unable to return home after sundown because of heavy fighting between the MQM(A) and MQM(H), and between both factions and the police (The Herald Nov. 1994a, 62; AFP 18 Feb. 1996; Reuters 1 Oct. 1995).

The MQM called "at least" 25 strikes in Karachi in 1995 (ibid. 18 Apr. 1996; AFP 21 Jan. 1996; Reuters 4 Jan. 1996; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1336, 1345), and at least seven in the first four months of 1996 (Reuters 18 Apr. 1996), most to protest harassment, arrest, torture and extrajudicial executions of party activists (AFP 21 Jan. 1996; Reuters 7 July 1995; AFP 24 Aug. 1995; Reuters 17 Feb. 1996). Although compliance with MQM-sponsored strikes was ostensibly voluntary (Reuters 3 Sept. 1995), MQM activists enforced them with violence and the threat of violence (Country Reports 1995 1996, 1336, 1345; AFP 10 Sept. 1995; Reuters 14 Mar. 1996), attacking motorists, pedestrians and businesses that tried to remain open (Country Reports 1995 1996, 1345). Fear of MQM-sponsored violence often prevented many Karachiites "from leaving their homes to go to work, schools, and the market" (ibid.; Reuters 4 Jan. 1996).

I support this bill But ................

MQM did well to table Deweaponisaion Bill in National Assembly of Pakistan but my question is that if,

MQM will Deweaponise itself (90) first before Deweaponising other parts of Pakistan?

It is accused that MQM is involved in target killing, kidnapping for ransom, bhatta khori Etc. Ofcourse every Pakistani knows this, but problem is that MQM blackmailed every Government with killing and destabilization in Karachi. Now days MQM Blackmailing PPP.
MQM beleive in Violence. MQM is a Party whose Founder is a British. If MQM Founder loves Pakistan why don't he come to Pakistan? Why he living like a coward in UK? Looks like British Agencies using Altaf Hussain to destabilize Pakistan. If Altaf Hussain loves Pakistan he should come and live like a braveheart in Pakistan.
Dear Altaf Bhayya Come to Pakistan i will welcome you at Airport. I Like Altaf Bhayya acting, ofcourse he is a great actor.

Agar Altaf Bhayya Pakistan ke leader hein to woh Pakistan aa kar rahein. Altaf bhai ko mera message ha kah ”BE A PATRIOT ALTAF BUKRI, don’t be such a coward EXPATRIATE”. Leader woh hota ha jo NATION ke sath khara ho. Koi muje Jawab de kah jab Pakistan mein Flood ya earthquake aya, sari dunia se representative Pakistanyun ka dukh share karne Pakistan aye. Kya us time Altaf Bhayya jo kehte hein muje Pakistan ke Awam se muhabbat ha Pakistan aye? Kya woh mazoor (disable) they us time kah aa kar apne mulk mein apne logun ke grief ko share na kar sake? Us insaan ko Pakistan se kya pyar bho ga jo Mulk ana chahta hi nahi or us ki Party ke paish kiye huwe BILL ki koi value nei ho gi kyun kah MQM sirf popular hone ke liyie aise Dramey kerti ha abhi recently unhun ne PPP se alag ho kar aik bara Drama kiya sirf media mein popular honey ke liyie.
Agar Altaf Bhayya Pakistan mein hotey or un ki apni party sab se pehle is bill par amal kerti ha to mera khayal ha he is great leader lekin you can see he is not among us because he is coward and his party not ready to surrender for target killing, bhatta khori, blackmailing and kidnapping.
Jiye Altaf Bukri
Geo Altaf Bhai lekin Shair ban ke na kah Bukri.

Bill is in favour of Pakistan BUT.........

This is Unfair they are just showing comments which support MQM Deweaponisation Bill 2011. As I Already commented against this Bill and it is deleted from comments list. This is not fair that web developer is just showing comments in favour of this bill.
MQM did well to table Deweaponisaion Bill in National Assembly of Pakistan but my question is that if,

MQM will Deweaponise itself (90) first before Deweaponising other parts of Pakistan?
