There will be 'Damadum Mast Qalander' if missing workers not recovered in 24 hrs: MQM's ultimatum
Raabta committee member said that there will be 'damadam mast qalandar' if workers not recovered.
KARACHI (Dunya News): Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has given a 24-hour ultimatum to the government to recover missing party workers.
Addressing media personnel here on Tuesday, MQM member Wasim Akhtar said that some police officers are openly conducting state terrorism and that citizens are fed up of carrying dead bodies every day.
Raabta committee member Ameen ul Haq said that there will be ‘damadam mast qalandar’ if workers not recovered within 24 hours.
Earlier, funeral prayers of the mother of MQM’s missing worker Mohammad Ali were offered in which a large number of party workers and officials participated.
It is pertinent to mention here that MQM Chief Altaf Hussain on Sunday pleaded to the Army Chief General Raheel Sharif for justice for MQM and ‘migrant populace’ saying that the Army is responsible not only for defending land but also its inhabitants. He had alleged that the former president Asif Ali Zardari didn’t respond upon contacting repeatedly. State institutions are subjecting MQM workers to the ‘third degree’ torture, he said while pleading the chief justice to take notice of extrajudicial killings of party workers. MQM Chief also claimed that police, rangers and other law enforcing institutions are involved in killing party workers. Police cannot torture party workers without consent of Sindh government, he added.
