Zulfiqar Mirza resigns from MPA, levels serious allegations on MQM
KARACHI: Senior Pakistan People Party (PPP) leader and Sindh senior minister Dr Zulfiqar Ali Mirza here Sunday announced resignation from his party post as well as membership of Sindh Assembly.
Addressing a crowded press conference at the Karachi Press Club, he expressed serious reservations on the policy of government about the Karachi law and order.
He said he would continue to work as ordinary party worker. He harshly criticized federal interior minister Abdul Rehman Malik and termed him habitual liar and threat to Pakistan security. He said he had already told his party leadership that Malik could not be relied upon.
Mirza leveled serious allegations on Muttahida Quami Movement and its chief Altaf Hussain. He termed MQM and its head responsible for target killings in Karachi. He accused Sindh governor of patronizing target killers.
He, however, defended Peoples Amn Committee and torture cells in Lyari. He revealed that police department was highly corrupt and police stations in Karachi used to be 'auctioned' to highest bidders.
Mirza alleged that during a meeting in London MQM Chief Altaf Hussain told him that America and world powers had decided to break Pakistan and he (Altaf Hussain) had supported their ideas. He further alleged that MQM was patronizing killers and criminals.
