Despite being in the coalition Government, more than 160 MQM
workers and supporters have been ruthlessly murdered by the
Haqiqi terrorists since the General Elections of 1997.
Furthermore, according to the information, the Haqiqi
terrorists have planned another bloodbath on 19 June 1998, in
connivance with the law enforcement agencies. The Haqiqi
terrorists are planning to attack houses of MQM's elected members
and to forcibly occupy the party offices on June 19. Recently, a
huge quantity of sophisticated weapons had been provided to the
Haqiqi terrorists by the law enforcement agencies. Our
apprehensions about the plan are justified that a number of
statements are issued by the leaders of Haqiqi terrorists where
they have openly threatened to take-over the MQM offices in
Karachi.
