IF
THE KILLERS OF MUSTAPHA KAMAL AND NISHAT MALLICK ARE NOT ARRESTED WITHIN THREE
DAYS THEN THE MQM WOULD ANNOUNCE ITS FUTURE LINE OF ACTION - MQM COORDINATION
COMMITTEE
Karachi
- 27 April 2002
The
Central Coordination Committee of the MQM while strongly condemning the brutal
and callous double murder of Member Coordination Committee and former Senator Mr
Mustapha Kamal Rizvi and former Member of National Assembly Prof Dr Nishat
Mallick has warned the Government that if the terrorist are not arrested within
three days then the party would announce its future line of action.
A hurriedly called meeting of the Coordination Committee was convened at
the MQM Head Office in Karachi to express its sorrow and grief over this
barbaric act of terrorism.
The
meeting while strongly deploring this act of terrorism declared that because of
the efforts of MQM Founder & Leader Mr Altaf Hussain to bridge the gap
between the Sindhi and Urdu Speaking Sindhis, the two are coming closer to each
other and brotherhood, harmony and peace is flourishing between them.
The MQM organised a successful mammoth historic public gathering
"Sindh Solidarity Convention" on 19 April 2002 at Nishtar Park in
Karachi, to demonstrate its popularity and once again negate the propaganda that
its graph has fallen. The participation of millions of peoples speaking Urdu,
Sindhi, Balochi, other languages, and belonging to different religion proves
that the people of Sindh are getting united under the MQM banner.
Fearing from this growing unity, solidarity and harmony, and MQM's
popularity, the Establishment has once again decided to punish the MQM by
organising the assassination of Mr Mustapha Kamal Rizvi and Prof Dr Nishat
Mallick (May Allah Almighty Rest Their Souls in Peace).
However, such cowardly and deplorable incident could never deter the MQM
from continuing its peaceful struggle for the rights of Sindh.
The
MQM Central Coordination Committee demanded of the President Musharraf to take
immediate steps to arrest all those responsible for carrying out and planning
the callous double murder of Mr Mustapha Kamal Rizvi and Prof Dr Nishat Mallick.
The Committee warned the Government that if arrests were not made within
three days then the MQM would announce its future line of action.
The
Coordination Committee appealed to the public to remain calm, peaceful and
arrange for prayers, fateha khwani and Quran khwani in their homes, offices and
institutions. The Committee
declared that such shameful acts of terrorism could neither deter us from
struggling for the rights of Sindh nor it could dent the resolve of MQM leaders,
office bearers, workers and supporters. The
peaceful struggle for the rights of Sindh would continue.
The meeting prayed to Allah Almighty for the forgiveness of Mr Mustapha Kamal Rizvi and Prof Dr Nishat Mallick. Expressing their deepest gratitude and appreciations to Mr Mustapha Kamal Rizvi and Prof Dr Nishat Mallick, the Committee said that their services and sacrifices would always be remembered. The meeting also extended their heartfelt condolences to members of the bereaved families and stated, "We and the entire nation share your sorrow and are with you in this time of grief". The meeting prayed to Allah Almighty to bless the souls of Mr Mustapha Kamal Rizvi and Prof Dr Nishat Mallick and give courage and strength to the family members to bear this irreplaceable loss.
