He said Rangers and police have failed to pay heed to MQM's repeated calls to maintain peace in areas like the Qasba Colony, Banaras, Kati Pahari and Faqueer Colony where armed men were killing and plundering MQM's supporters. Furthermore he said the MQM activists had been confined to their homes in these areas.
