“According to Liaquat-Nehru Pact-1950, property of Hindu of Pakistan migrating to India would be given to Mohajirs migrating from India to Pakistan.” Mohajirs have not yet been given a single inch of evacuated property and hence they were forced to live in tents.”
“On orders of Pakistan’s ex-Prime Minister (Daughter of Zulfiquar Ali Bhutto) Benazir Bhutto had on May 26, 1990 massacre of Mohajirs was carried in Pucca Qilla Hyderabad.”
“Pakistan’s military junta is the assassin of founder of Pakistan M. A. Jinnah, Pakistan’s first Prime Minister Khan Liaquat Ali Khan and Ms. Fatimah Jinnah (sister of M. A. Jinnah)”
LONDON. May 28, 2018: The Muttahidda Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) founding leader Mr. Altaf Hussain has demanded the UN Secretary General to constitute a commission to look into massacre of Mohajirs in Pakistan starting from 1947. The UN commission should in particular investigate on Pucca Qilla massacre in 1990 between May 26 and 27, which was worst of all previous carnages.
This demand he made during his address to the participants of an Iftar-cum-dinner that was hosted by the MQM UK East London chapter of the Movement.
Mohajirs are a constant victim of state-sponsored repressive agenda immediately after they had founded Pakistan, erected its basic structure as a sovereign state but the demonic military junta of Pakistan had assassinated the founder of Pakistan Mr. Muhammad Ali Jinnah through poison. He was sick and was at his Ziarat Residency in Quetta when he was transported to Karachi in an ambulance for treatment but the military junta had put him in a highly depreciated ambulance which had halted midway to Karachi. The military junta did not want to see him survive of the poison that was given to him. This very military junta that has always been power-hungry also assassinated the first Premier of Pakistan Mr. Khan Liaquat Ali khan, who was a right hand of the founder of Pakistan. He was shot dead during a public gathering at Rawalpindi. This military junta also assassinated Mr. Jinnah’s sister Ms. Fatimah Jinnah. The military junta had also declared Ms. Fatimah as Indian agent because she had dared to fight elections against military dictator Ayub Khan. The military junta had murdered her in her house while she was asleep.
Mr. Hussain said that, “According to Liaquat-Nehru Pact-1950, property of Hindu of Pakistan migrating to India would be given to Mohajirs migrating from India to Pakistan.” Mohajirs have not yet been given a single inch of evacuated property and hence they were forced to live in tents.”
Contrary to the facts, Sindhi nationalists claim they had favoured Mohajirs. In fact, Mohajirs’ ancestors laid 20 million lives for the creation of Pakistan and freed people of present Pakistan.
The truth is that they are the Mohajirs who have favoured Sindhis, Blaouchis, Punjabis, Seraikis and all other folks in Pakistan by freeing them from the slavery and gave them a free state. They were the Mohajirs alone who shed their blood for the freedom of Pakistan.
He said that Pakistan People’s Party carried massacre of Mohajirs and Mohajirs continued to suffer from PPP’s tyranny during all of its present and previous governments. It was PPP’s founder Zulfiquar Ali Bhutto, who presented Sindhi ethnic language Bill in Sindh provincial assembly that was completely anti-Urdu and slain Raees Amrohavi had in an improvised remark said, “Urdu Ka Janaza Hay Zara Dhoom Sey Nikley” (You are burying Urdu language so there should be a great manifest of jubilation from your side). When Mohajirs protested against that Sindhi ethnic language Bill, they were killed and their graves are still present in the compound of Masjid-e Shuhda (Mosque of martyrs) at Liaquatabad. In rural Sindh Mohajirs’ properties were set on fire, they were attacked with arms and ammunition and they were forced to migrate from rural Sindh to Urban areas. Bhutto deprived Mohajirs of employment opportunities through the imposition of Quota System. They were expelled from colleges and universities and doors of education were closed for them.
He said that on unending repression on Mohajirs, he was compelled to found All Pakistan Mohajir Students Organisation (APMSO) (A student Union in University of Karachi) on Jun 11, 1978 and on that day; they were also expelled from the university on gunpoint. Later, he continued to say, founded the MQM on Mar 18, 1984 on which massacre of Mohajirs was carried by the state of Pakistan through Sindhi nationalists and law enforcement authorities. On Oct 31, 1986, Mohajir convoys towards Hyderabad were attacked in which hundreds of Mohajirs were martyred at Sohrab Goth in Karachi’s Super Highway and Market Chowk in Hyderabad. In addition, Mohajir leaders, his companions and he were arrested.
He said that on Dec 14, 1986, Mohajir colony, Aligarh and Qasba was attacked where armed militants continued to kill Mohajir men, women, elderly and children for continuous 6 hours. After killing, the militants set their homes ablaze.
Similarly, he said, on Sep 30, 1988, state agencies facilitated and armed groups of militants and thus ensured a huge massacre of Mohajirs in Hyderabad. In that carnage, hundreds of men, women, elderly and children were killed and women were raped. Three hundred of Mohajirs were killed in that attack. However, no law enforcing authority came to protect Mohajirs but instead they continued to facilitate the militants.
Mr. Hussain said that, “On orders of Pakistan’s ex-Prime Minister (Daughter of Zulfiquar Ali Bhutto) Benazir Bhutto had on May 26, 1990 massacre of Mohajirs was carried in Hyderabad.” That was a joint conspiracy of PPP and military establishment. For the massacre, they had released criminals and terrorists from jails, armed them, dressed then in Police uniforms and thus the Mohajirs were killed in an ambush at Pucca Qilla. Homes and shops of Mohajirs were set ablaze, men and women and children were brutally killed and even they had desecrated the Holy Quran. During that attack, the administration had shut water and electricity supply. Later, Mohajirs were not even allowed to carry their funerals to graveyards and were again attacked with lethal weapons. As a result, dozens of Mohajir women were martyred. Thus their bodies were buried inside the Pucca Qilla premise.
Mr. Hussain said that the Pucca Qilla massacre continued for complete two days on May 26 and 27, 1990 but till date, no terrorist has been arrested or taken to task but instead the nominees and mastermind of the carnage were acquitted.
The founder leader of the Movement Mr. Hussain has demanded the UN Secretary General to constitute a commission to investigate on genocide of Mohajirs, their massacre by the state of Pakistan through its agencies and bring the culprits to justice box so that the justice should be dispensed and held high.
