MURDER OF ABDULLAH MURAD IS PART OF CONSPIRACY TO DISTURB THE PEACE OF CITY – COORDINATION COMMITTEE

Karachi – 6 March 2004
Central Coordination Committee of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) while strongly condemning the brutal and callous murder of MPA Abdullah Murad of PPP has termed it as a conspiracy to disturb peace of the city.  On the one, the Government of Sindh is improving the law and order situation of Karachi, the trade capital of the country, to attract the foreign and domestic investments whereas; on the other hand the anti-Sindh forces disturbing peace in Karachi by creating law and order situation. The Coordination Committee deplored the elements using ethnicity to commit acts of terrorism.  After the tragic incident, armed terrorists committed acts of terrorism in various areas of the city including pelting stones on the home of Ameer Hussain Shah, MQM candidate for the General Elections in NA-258, threatening MQM workers and supporters and alighted several vehicles and as a result several persons have been severely injured.  These acts of terrorism under the cover of this incident have been performed with a view to disturb the law and order situation and to cover the callous and brutal murder of two innocent girls with a view to save and protect the “real killers” from the clutches of law. 

MQM Coordination Committee demanded of the Governor Sindh Dr Isrhat-ul-Ebad and Chief Minister Sindh Sardar Ali Mohammed Mehar to investigate the murder of MPA Abdullah Murad and arrest those responsible. MQM Coordination Committee also appealed to the public not to be agitated, exercise restraints, remain calm and defeat the conspiracy of disturbing the peace of the city.  MQM Coordination Committee expressed their sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the family members of MPA Abdullah Murad.
