BY THE SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS OF PAKISTAN INCLUDING THE PRESENT
MILITARY GOVERNMENT
31 May 2000
Canberra, Australia
In the third phase of the MQMs
Worldwide Protests Campaign, the MQM Australia Unit organised a
peaceful protest demonstration in front of the Parliament
Building in Canberra, Australia. A large number of
Pakistani Mohajirs living in Australia attended this
demonstration.
The participants including young children distributed
leaflets. During the demonstration, the participants also chanted
slogans to stop the brutalities against the peaceful Mohajir
nation in Pakistan, particularly in the urban centres of Sindh
province.
A three-member delegation submitted the
petition from the Pakistanis living in Australia to the Office of
the Prime Minister and the Office of the Minister for Foreign
Affairs. The secretaries who received the petition assured
the delegation that the Government of Australia will look into
the matter and would certainly raise their voice. Moreover,
it was also decided that a close contact through meetings would
be kept with the office bearers of the MQM Australia Unit in the
future.
The MQM Australia Unit also organised a
demonstration in front of the Office of the United Nations and
also submitted a similar petition to the representative of the
United Nations.
