| [DAWN] Leaders of Pakistain Sunni Tehrik ...formed in Karachi in 1992 under by Muhammad Saleem Qadri. It quickly fell to trading fisticuffs and assassinations with the MQM and the Sipah-e-Sahaba, with at least a half dozen of its major leaders rubbed out. Sunni Tehreek arose to become the primary opposition to the Deobandi Binori Mosque, headed by Nizamuddin Shamzai, who was eventually bumped off by person or persons unknown. ST's current leadership has heavily criticized the Deobandi Jihadi leaders, accusing them of being sponsored by Indian Intelligence agencies as well as involvement in terrorist activities... (PST) and its allied parties have distanced themselves from Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistan’s (TLP) call for countrywide protest on Nov 25 and said they were never part of TLP. Speaking at a hurriedly-called presser at the local press club on Saturday, Khalid Hassan Attari, Imran Soharwardi, Allama Jawad Raza Barkati, Allama Muharram Din Qadri and others said that they condemned hate speeches by TLP head Khadim Hussain Rizvi. They demanded immediate release of activists of Tanzeemat-e-Ahle Sunnat, a conglomerate of various religious parties including Pakistain Sunni Tehrik, Jamaat Ahle Sunnat, Darul Uloom Ahsanul Barkat, Dargah Syedna Sakhi Abdul Wahab Shah Jilani Trust and Paigham-e-Mustafa. They called for stopping crackdown against their parties and said that around six activists of PST and other parties had been tossed in the slammer Please don't kill me! by Rangers and police since Friday night soon after the arrest of TLP chief. They said that they condemned hate speeches by TLP chief and terrorist attack on Chinese consulate in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. 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... . They had always remained staunch supporters of Mighty Pak Army and never used objectionable language against institutions of the state, they said. |
