Qazi condemns raid at JI office in Hyderabad
2005-08-26
Qazi Hussain Ahmed, the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal president and Jamaat-e-Islami ameer, has condemned the police raid on a JI office in Hyderabad as ‘unwarranted use of force’. He demanded an inquiry and re-polling, especially in the areas where government’s allied parties ‘resorted to violence to win the elections’.

In a statement on Thursday, Qazi said that Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) activists came from Karachi and marred peaceful polling in the city. He said that MQM activists smashed MMA women activists’ cars. He said that reports coming from Hyderabad suggested that the ‘fascist party’ had hijacked the election process at gunpoint. He said that police action against Al-Khidmat group’s activists in Hyderabad and raids on the JI office were carried out under MQM convener Dr Farooq Sattar’s supervision. Qazi crticised the Election Commission’s officials for not taking action against massive rigging and irregularities despite several complaints from all over Pakistan. He said people would reject election results.
