THE ESTABLISHMENT IS PROMOTING CRIMINALS AND JIHADI TO FORM AL-BADAR AND AL-SHAMS TYPE ORGANISATIONS IN SINDH

29 May 2002

The MQM deputy convenor Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said that the establishment is bent upon creating Al-Badar and Al-Shams type organisations in Karachi and other parts of Sindh province, to carryout massacre and mayhem of innocent Sindhis and Mohajirs as they did, of innocent Bengalis in the former East Pakistan, now Bangladesh.  He pointed out that according to reliable sources, the intelligence agencies are mobilizing gangs of criminals in different areas of Karachi, encouraging them to occupy localities, as they did earlier in Landhi, Korangi, Malir, Shah Faisal, Liaquatabad and New Karachi turning them into "no go areas" for the MQM.  On the other hand so called religious and jihadi organisations have been activated for this purpose.  In this context one so-called religious party have announced to start recruitment in Karachi.  He pointed out that this religious party at the behest of the establishment had formed Al-Badar and Al-Shams in the former East Pakistan, carried out genocide of Bengali Muslims and on the slogan of religion created feud between Bengalis and Mohajirs.  But after the fall of Dhaka, ninety three thousand soldiers came back to Pakistan and this religious party is enjoying power politics in Pakistan whereas more then two hundred fifty thousand Pakistanis, who were used in the name of Islam and Pakistan are languishing in Red Cross Camps even after last 31 years.  Now this religious party have become active once again to fulfill the nefarious designs of the establishment while on the other hand gangs of criminals one being organized to create organizations like Al-Badar and Al-Shams with the help of these criminals, Haqiqi terrorists and the so-called religious and jihadi organistaions.  Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said that at a time when the danger of war is looming and the country is passing through a very critical phase what is the purpose of encouraging and regrouping criminals to occupy different areas of Karachi?  While addressing the “Cavaliers” of the establishment he asked them to go to the borders and fight jihad instead of conspiring to shed blood of innocent people in Sindh.  Finally Dr. Siddiqui asked all the MQM workers to be vigilant and understand the conspiracies that are being hatched in all shapes and sizes.  They should use their wisdom instead of emotions and stay united and stead fast in their struggle.

He appealed to General Parvez Musharraf to take serious notice of the nefarious conspiracy hatched up by the Establishment in Sindh.  He also appealed to the United Nations and International Human and Civil Rights Organizations to take notice of these heinous conspiracies of murders and mayhem in Sindh province.
