Notorious terrorist, drug peddler and land grabber Tariq Khan belonging to the PML-N along with his gangsters is roaming around Nine Zero with a view to harras the MQM Leadership

10 September 1999

Throughout the day, Tariq Khan, armed terrorist, notorious drug peddler and land grabber, belonging to the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz Sharif Group), along with hundreds of other armed terrorists under the protection of police is roaming around Nine Zero (MQM Head Office). This act of aggression of the Government of Nawaz Sharif is being carried out to harass and intimidate the Members of MQM Central Co-ordination Committee, Senators, MNAs, MPAs, other office bearers and workers.

It should be recalled that MQM has called for a protest rally on 11 September 1999, and public gathering at Sharah-e-Quaideen in Karachi, Pakistan. Fearing from past experiences that MQM will certainly hold a mammoth public rally, the Government of Nawaz Sharif and its appointed political agent are now employing such cowardly acts to prevent the MQM from organising tomorrow's public rally.

MQM has been organising protest rallies throughout the province of Sindh to protest against the extra-judicial executions of its workers by the Police and other law enforcement agencies.

More than 350 MQM workers and supporters have been ruthlessly murdered since the present Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif came into power in 1997. Most recently, only in the month of September 1999 5 innocent MQM workers and supporters have been murdered extra-judicially.
