Protests should not be forced on the streets, MQM: Photo: Web Desk
Karachi: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Pakistan has demanded federal intervention on the unrest in Karachi.
The MQM leaders demanded the intervention of the federation while holding a press conference. MQM leader Nasreen Jalil said that we are tired of carrying funerals. There is an atmosphere of fear everywhere in the city. What kind of environment are we living in?
Ali Soharri said that the problem of street crime is not the problem of MQM. Shame on those ministers who say that the law and order situation is better. The families of those who have died should be asked what is happening to them. They will raise their voices in the national and provincial assemblies. It is also the responsibility of the federal government. Is she waiting for more bodies to fall before she gets serious and intervenes? Protests should not be forced on the streets.
On the other hand, provincial minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said in response to MQM’s press conference that MQM is the one who shouts the most in the Karachi operation. Muttahida should not make demands that affect them.
He said that police and Rangers are conducting targeted operations against street criminals. Muttahida says that those who speak such and such language are committing crimes which is a manifestation of hate politics. Criminals have no language, no religion or nationality. Criminals are enemies of humanity and peace. The Sindh government is following up the cases of street criminals better.
Nasir Hussain Shah added that it is surprising that the friends of Muttahida want to call the federation against street crime. On the one hand, Muttahida says that the local government system should be strengthened so that local bodies are stable, on the other hand, Muttahida asks the federal government to interfere in provincial affairs.
