TO
INVOLVE MQM IN THE MURDER OF TAUFEEQ ZAHID IS PART OF THE CRIMINALISATION
POLICY--- MQM
Karachi – 24 April
2004
The MQM Coordination Committee condemned the Jamaat-e-Islami for involving the
MQM in the murder of Inspector Taufeeq Zahid.
Terming this as part of the criminalisation policy against the MQM with a
view to malign its image, the MQM Coordination Committee said that the anti-MQM
elements immediately accuse the MQM of every incident in Karachi. They said that
murder of any human being is an act, which must be condemned and similarly the
murder of Inspector Taufeeq Zahid is deplorable.
However, the heinous efforts of Jamaat-e-Islami of blaming the MQM for
this murder are regrettable. They said that if MQM is being accused because of
being the majority party of Karachi then PPP must be blamed for every murder in
the interior Sindh and similarly MMA and Jamaat-e-Islami are to be held
responsible for every murder in NWFP. They said that the reaction of
Jamaat-e-Islami on this murder and the hurried visit of the Town Nazim of
Jamaat-e-Islami at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital clearly show that the murder of
Inspector Taufeeq Zahid was committed by Jamaat-e-Islami and to cover itself, it
is conspiring to shift the blame towards the MQM. The MQM Coordination Committee
said that it may be recalled that before the Elections 2002, the Haqiqi
terrorists with the support of Jamaat-e-Islami murdered the brother of Taufeeq
Zahid. The MQM Coordination Committee stated that conspiracy of Jamaat-e-Islami
of maligning the MQM will never succeed. They
demanded of the President General Pervez Musharraf to order a high level
investigation in the murder of Inspector Taufeeq Zahid and to immediately arrest
the terrorists of Jamaat-e-Islami involved in this murder.
