KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has urged the Army chief to take notice of what he terms 'injustice and harassment' that is taking place in Karachi, DawnNews reported.
Speaking to party supporters in Karachi via telephone, the MQM chief said Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif and Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Chief Lt Gen Zaheer ul Islam should take notice of atrocities being committed against workers from his party.
He said police, rangers and other law enforcing agencies were involved in the killing of party activists.
Altaf Hussain said that even during the 1992 operation in Karachi, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government was at the helm of affairs.
He said that even in 1992, false allegations were leveled against the MQM and used as an excuse for conducting an operation against his party.
Altaf Hussain said the army not only defends the land but also the people living in it. He demanded justice for the people of Karachi.
The MQM chief said the people who migrated to Pakistan are also patriotic.
He said he has tried repeatedly to contact PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari but to no avail. He also demanded of the former president to do justice with the Karachiites.
