Karachi violence: MQM calls urgent internal meeting

KARACHI:  The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has summoned an urgent session of the coordination committees in Karachi and London.

The session was summoned in the backdrop of relentless bloodshed in the city, particularly in localities of Orangi Town, including Gulfamabad, Qasba Colony and the Katti Pahari area.

Criticising police and Rangers for taking no action against armed militants creating widespread harassment in violence-hit areas, an MQM statement said that armed militants “have been attacking residential premises of the citizens…while police and Rangers…avoided taking any action against the militants”.

The statement said that the committee would meet at noon on Thursday and review the escalating violence by “armed outlaws” and base its future strategy on the result of its review of the situation.

I don't understand one thing, when MQM has stronghold in Karachi, and they must have known the real culprits behind this killing spree, then why they are silent? Why all the street crimes are being committed under MQM nose? Does MQM have any answer? They have been failed to control Karachi, its better decision for MQM then to join PML-N. Allah restore peace soon in Karachi, Ameen.
