Azam Tariqâs murder: MMA sees govt hand in naming Naqvi
The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) believes that accusing Allama Sajid Naqvi of Maulana Azam Tariqâs murder is part of the governmentâs conspiracy to destabilise the religious alliance, MMA Deputy Secretary General Liaqat Baloch told Daily Times on Saturday. âThe government is trying its best to create cracks in our alliance and the nomination of MMA Vice President Allama Sajid Naqvi in the first information report (FIR) for Maulana Tariqâs killing is part of these efforts. But the government will fail in its designs,â he said.
| Sounds like a deep-laid plot™ to me... |
âThere is a natural clash between the two banned organisations, Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan and Tehrik Nifaz-e-Fiqa-e-Jafaria. It is the aggrieved partyâs right to nominate any person for the killing but Allama Naqvi has previously been nominated on similar charges but they were never proved,â Baloch added.
| Tehrik e-Jafria is the Shiite member party of the MMA. Azam's SSP specialized in killing Shiites. Only the day before Azam departed the gene pool, Shiites were rampaging over the killing of six of their number on the way to the mosque. |
He said it was the governmentâs responsibly to bring the facts regarding Tariqâs murder before the people as soon as possible. He said the religious alliance would wait for the investigationâs findings before devising its strategy âin view of the findingsâ. Baloch said incidents like Tariqâs killing frightened the entire nation. He said the masses wanted the government to quit as it had failed to maintain law and order in the country.
