HYDERABAD, Sept 17: The Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party Chairman Dr Qadir Magsi has lashed out at the Muttahida Qaumi Movement and held the party responsible for May 12 carnage, incident at Sindh High Court, murder of lawyer Raja Riaz and the killings of seven youths on Sept 13.

Talking to a delegation of political workers who had left MQM to join STP at Tarraqi Passand House on Sunday evening, Mr Magsi said that the activists who had left MQM and joined STP were true sons of the soil.

According to an STP spokesman, 35 MQM workers had resigned from the party and joined STP. Politically conscious people were fully aware of the fact that MQM was the creation of establishment and even this day it was sitting in the lap of its creator busy conspiring against the province.

He referred to the May 12 carnage, incident at Sindh High Court, murder of lawyer Raja Riaz and the killings of seven youths in Karachi on Sept 13 and said that the MQM had also voted for the release of funds for the anti-Sindh projects of Kalabagh Dam and Greater Thal Canal.

He said that this party had closed the doors of employment in Karachi on Sindhis and ridiculed the party’s claim that it was against feudal lords and landlords though it was sharing power in Sindh with the same feudal lords and landlords.

Mr Magsi said that MQM held 65 per cent posts of ministers in the province and for all practical purposes the party was the de facto ruler of Sindh. The STP was struggling for the emancipation of people and striving for the abolition of feudal system and restoration of true democracy in the country, he stressed.
