ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) leaders have condemned torture on the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) workers near Sindh Chief Minister House in Karachi.

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain Wednesday condemned “the hooliganism” of Sindh police against the peaceful MQM-P workers who were holding protest against the recently passed local government law by the provincial government.

At a time when an event like the Pakistan Super League (PSL) was about to take place, there was no justification to such a violent incident, the minister said in a tweet.

Sindh Governor Imran Ismail said thrashing of women protestors was specially an extremely deplorable act. He said the exhibition of power by state against peaceful protestors was not a good thing.

Talking about torture on the MQM members in Karachi, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Communication Dr Shahbaz Gill said it was a condemnable act on the part of PPP’s Sindh government, which should be ashamed of it.

The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leaders themselves wanted to march everywhere, but they did not have any courage to tolerate their opponents, Dr Gill added.

Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, Farrukh Habib said ‘Police Gardi’ over the crowd had exposed the dictatorial face of so-called democracy claimant of the PPP.

He said Bilawal and Zardari wanted to suppress people’s voice against the ‘black law’ of local bodies by use of force which was not acceptable at any cost.

An MQM worker, Aslam Bhai, allegedly succumbed to his wounds at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) after being tortured by Sindh police officials.

However, I have checked with the JPMC, neither any person named Aslam Bhai was brought to the JPMC nor any such death has been reported there. MQM MPA Sadaqat and Tariq were brought to JPMC and discharged after treatment,” he tweeted.

Murtaza Wahab said the MQM had taken permission to carry out rally from Shahra e Faisal to the Karachi Press Club, however they all of a sudden came towards the Red Zone near Sindh CM House.

He said the police tried to engage with them till the end and convince them that it was not appropriate to protest near the hotel where foreign players of the PSL were staying.
