Two workers of Scheme 33 Maymar Sector, Kazim and Muhammad Pervez were arrested and a worker of Unit-79 of Korangi Sector Syed Zahid son of MQM martyred worker Syed Rafique was also arrested by Rangers in respective raids.
The Coordination Committee said that the situation got alarming when Rangers officials did not tell the captives’ whereabouts to their respective families. It said despite arresting the murderers of recently martyred worker and member MQM Coordination Committee Haider Abbas Rizvi’s Coordinator, Salman Kazmi and various other killings.
People belonged to various banned outfits unequivocally pronounced and claimed about their terrorists’ acts but the Rangers and security officials were instead apprehending those elements, kept arresting innocent MQM workers.

It also demanded Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah to take notice on the issue and requested to direct security agencies to bring all the detainees to the court of law.
