MQM sources said Opposition was engaged in propaganda against MQM that the MQM was behind the killings.
MQM sources said on Saturday that party chief Altaf Hussain had asked all central leaders including members of the Punjab Organising Committee (POC) to start a mass contact campaign so that the party could strengthen itself before the upcoming elections.
He also asked the above-mentioned people to explain to the people that the MQM was not behind the killings in Karachi, sources added. Sources said high profile personalities such as actors etc would also join the MQM's campaign in the province. MQM Leader Iftikhar Randhawa alleged that the establishment was behind the May 12 killings and that it had blamed the MQM for it because the party was gaining a strong foothold in Punjab.
He said he had visited various districts and was told by the people that they wanted to join the MQM because they knew who were the real people behind the violence.
