It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... 's Pir Elahi Bakhsh (PIB) Colony area early on Monday confessed during initial interrogation to 12 murders, including those of three coppers, a blurb issued by Sindh Rangers said. Muttahida Qaumi Movement ...English: United National Movement, generally known as MQM, is the 3rd largest political party and the largest secular political party in Pakistain with particular strength in Sindh. From 1992 to 1999, the MQM was the target of the Pak Army's Operation Cleanup leaving thousands of urdu speaking civilians dead... (MQM) leader Farooq Sattar, however, has raised questions about the authenticity of this claim. The MQM staged a walk-out from National Assembly over the alleged raid on Farooq Sattar's residence. Moreover, party workers and leaders also staged protests outside Karachi Press Club. The statement identifies the man as Shamshad Ali and maintains that the man is linked to a political party as a 'right-hand' man of a party leader. It accuses him of leading a murder ring that has killed 35 people on his orders. The statement says that the scope of the investigation would be expanded to include leaders of political parties, who have allegedly received proceeds from extortion and other illegal activities carried out by Shamshad. Shamshad was arrested along with two others by Rangers personnel from the PIB Colony. The arrests were made near the residence of Farooq Sattar, who said that the law enforcement agency had carried out a raid in his neighbourhood and removed his security detail. |
