Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has asked Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah and members of Sindh Assembly to pass a bill stating that they did not need the 'oppressive' Rangers. He made the demand while talking to office-bearers of different wings of the MQM at Nine Zero.
"We will hold a sit-in at Chief Minister House against the repressive actions, arbitrary arrests, torture, and extra-judicial killings by Rangers. If they opened fire on the participants of the sit-in, the Rangers and Rangers' captain will be responsible for the consequences," he warned. Hussain said the Rangers issued a press release that they would arrest MQM's unit in-charges and sector in-charges because the Tanzeemi Committee of the MQM gave them training of militancy while there is no Tanzeemi Committee in the MQM for quite some time.
"Neither Sindh Chief Minister nor the judiciary took notice of this statement. Had the courts been free, they would have taken notice and sought an explanation from Rangers. They would have warned the Rangers that if they arrested anyone illegally action would be taken against them for violating the law and the constitution," he added. He regretted that human rights organisations were silent over serious violations of human rights in Sindh, particularly in Karachi.
Criticising the government for vesting more powers to FIA, he warned Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that these powers would be used against him in future. "Those anchors, analysts and political leaders, who are accusing the MQM of getting money from RAW should fight the Indian Army along with the PM Nawaz Sharif, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, DG ISI and DG Rangers Major General Bilal for liberating Kashmir and taking a revenge of the 1971 defeat," he added. "We don't need motorways and big development projects. We want Kashmir to be liberated. Rangers should be sent to Kashmir," he demanded.
