The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) co-ordination committee member Iftikhar Randhawa has strongly condemned the shifting of the jailed party workers to interior Sindh. He blasted over Pakistan People's Party (PPP) for torturing the jailed MQM workers. It accused that the MQM's jailed workers were being subjected to physical torture and the MQM was being punished for coming out of the government.
It said the MQM had become a part of the opposition because of the decision of the party over the bloodshed of the Muhajirs was started in Qasba Colony. Later on the despotic commissionerate system was imposed in Sindh and now the incarcerated workers of the MQM were being subjected to physical torture and highhandedness, it said. Randhawa said they were appealing to Chief Justice of Pakistan, Chief Justice of Sindh High Court and human rights organisations to take notice of the inhuman treatment to the jailed MQM workers by the PPP and Zulfiqar Mirza.
He said MQM had warned the PPP earlier as well to mend ways and stop its oppressive actions and injustices else it would have itself to blame for the ensuing circumstances. It said that the inhuman treatment meted out to the MQM workers in jails was the violation of basic human rights. Iftikhar Randhawa asked the Chief Justices of Pakistan and the Sindh High Court to take serious notice of shifting of the MQM workers to the jails in interior Sindh and subjecting them to inhuman physical torture in closed wards. He also appealed that the jailed workers should be provided legal and constitutional protection available to them under constitution.
