Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Altaf Hussain today called for deployment of army in Karachi to contain the ongoing wave of violence that left dozens of people killed in recent days.
In a telephone address from London today, Hussain said military should act indiscriminately against all groups to restore peace in the city.
His demand came a day after he set a two-day ultimatum for the President and the Prime Minister to restore peace in Karachi.
He said that most of the people, who were murdered in Karachi, were innocent. He asked Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah to stop patronizing land and drug mafias.
The MQM leader said that Punjabis and Sindhis had warmly received mohajirs (migrants) during partition of sub-continent. He said that MQM was not against any ethnic group but, he addded, that mohajirs were always targeted. "Mohajirs are not mohajirs any more, they are Pakistanis," he added. He also asked Indians if they would accept the migrants again.
The MQM, he said, condemns onging acts of violence in Karachi. It is being said that three parties are responsible for Karachi situation, nobody is speaking truth.
He further said that so-called heirs of Sindh were slaves of Hindus.
