London: 13th May 2015

MQM Founder and Leader Altaf Hussain has strongly condemned the deadly attack on a bus near Safoora Chowrangi in Karachi resulting in the death of over 43 people. He expressed his deep sense of grief and sorrow on the horrific killings.
Mr Hussain said that the firing on a bus was the worst kind of terrorism, and those who are involved in this gory incident are cold-blooded killers.
“Doctors, professors, engineers, religious scholars, traders and ordinary people are being gunned down on the streets of Karachi on a daily basis. The brutal killing of people near Safoora Chowrangi has exposed the failure of the Sindh Government and law-enforcing agencies in bringing peace in the city.”
Mr Hussain said that instead of going after terrorists, peaceful workers of the MQM are being victimized and implicated in fabricated cases. “Every effort is being made to defame the MQM by subjecting it to a worst kind of media trial.”
He said that the Sindh Government and the law-enforcing agencies did not take any action against the criminals and terrorist elements. It was because of this inaction that terrorists were carrying out their activities unstoppably.
Mr Hussain said that the Safoora Chowrangi tragedy has made it clear for everyone to see that criminal elements and terrorists are free to operate. Instead of arresting these criminals and terrorists, the MQM workers being criminalized under a well-planned conspiracy.
He said that victimizing innocent people and portraying them as terrorists because of political vendetta and giving open licence to terrorists for certain vested interests was nothing but blatant state terrorism.
Mr Hussain demanded PM Nawaz Sharif, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and CM Sindh to ensure immediate arrests of the perpetrators of the Safoora Chowrangi tragedy. He said that the direction of the Targeted Operation in Karachi should be put aright in order to bring killers and terrorists to justice.
Mr Hussain expressed heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved families and the leaders of the Agha Khan community. He also prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured.
