THATTA, Oct 5: Jamaat-i-Islami Naib Amir Prof Ghafoor Ahmed on Sunday urged the Pakistan People’s Party to pull out of its alliance with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, accusing the latter of killing innocent youths, encouraging lawlessness and extorting money.

Prof Ghafoor said at a conference that it was necessary to foil what he called conspiracies being hatched at the Governor’s House in order to safeguard the democratic government and give relief to people of Sindh.

In the days of Arbab Ghulam Rahim urban areas had been in the clutches of MQM and so was the case under the PPP rule, he said and alleged that the MQM, under the patronage of PPP government, was victimising political opponents.

The party’s student wing shot dead two brilliant students Osama Gandro and Jabbar Baloch who were workers of Islami Jamait-i-Talaba in the presence of Rangers and police in an attempt to take control of educational institutions, he claimed.

After getting rid of the dictator and induction of a democratic government the common man was hopeful that the society would now move towards prosperity, jobless youths would get jobs and a congenial atmosphere would return to educational institutions but their expectations proved a dream, he remarked.

He said that the prime minister had proved to be a puppet same as Shaukat Aziz and the parliament continued to remain a rubber stamp.

Sindh JI chief Maulana Asadullah Bhutto, party office-bearers Mumtaz Sehto, Abdul Wahid Qureshi, Nisar Baloch, and father of late Osama and Adam also spoke at the conference.
