The Peshawar High Court Bar Association (PHCBA) Monday warned MQM ministers not to visit NWFP and urged lawyers and Pushtoons to shoot the ministers if they crossed Attock bridge. “Burn down MQM offices and wage a jihad on its members on seeing them anywhere in the province,” PHCBA President Abdul Latif Afridi told a lawyers’ meeting before the joint opposition joined them at Qissa Khwani Bazaar. “Pushtoons will avenge the bloodshed of innocent Pushtoons in Karachi by the MQM, which is a group of terrorists,” Afridi said. He said President Pervez Musharraf, Sindh Chief Minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim and Governor Ishratul Ebad should be charged with “deliberate murders”. Barrister Masood Kausar, provincial organiser of the PPP lawyers’ forum, said the lawyers should take action against the MQM to avenge Pushtoons’ killing. “We have considered Karachi mohajirs our brothers since 1947 but the recent bloodshed proves they migrated from India to destabilise Pakistan,” he added. “Only the PPP acted against the MQM terrorists on May 12. Political parties are now united to wipe out this terrorist group from Karachi and help Sindhis get rid of them forever,” Kauser said. Sources told Daily Times that the MQM provincial president had closed the party office in Peshawar to avert possible attack.
