[DAWN] MQM chief Altaf Hussain...think of the head of the Barzini clan, only in Urdu...
on Tuesday asked Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah and all members of the Sindh Assembly to pass a bill to "send back the oppressive Rangers."
Talking to party office bearers via telephone from London, Hussain said:
"We will hold a sit-in at the Chief Minister House against the repressive actions, arbitrary arrests, torture, and extra-judicial killings by Rangers. If they open fire on the participants of the sit-in, the Rangers and their 'captain' will be responsible for the consequences."
Interestingly, this demand by Hussain comes a day before Rangers' special powers in Sindh are due to expire. While the duration of these special powers has been extended multiple times in the past, it is not clear whether the provincial government will go ahead with the move this time around.
