Zulfiqar Mirza resigns from Sindh Assembly, blasts MQM
2011-08-29
[Dawn] Senior Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) leader and Sindh Senior Minister Dr Zulfiqar Ali Mirza on Sunday announced his resignation from his party post as vice president of PPP Sindh chapter as well as membership of the Sindh Assembly.

Addressing a crowded presser at the Bloody Karachi Press Club, he expressed serious reservations on
the policy of government about the law and order situation in Bloody Karachi.

He said he would continue to work as an ordinary party worker. He harshly criticized Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik
Pak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Näwaz Shärif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men.
and termed him a compulsive liar and a threat to Pakistain's security.

He said he had already told his party leadership that Malik could not be relied upon. He said that only one person is responsible for all killings in Bloody Karachi and that person is Rehman Malik.

Mirza leveled serious allegations on Muttahida Quami Movement and its chief Altaf Hussain. He termed the MQM and its head responsible for murders in Bloody Karachi. He accused the Sindh Governor Ishratul Ibad of patronizing hit mans.

He revealed that the police department was highly corrupt and that cop shoppes in Bloody Karachi are being auctioned to the highest bidders.

Zulfiqar Mirza alleged that during a meeting in London MQM chief Altaf Hussain had told him that America and world powers had decided to break up Pakistain and he (Altaf Hussain) had supported their idea.

He claimed that Altaf Hussain had demanded disbanding of ISI. He further alleged that MQM was patronizing killers and criminals. He also claimed that journalist Wali Khan Baber was also killed by the MQM.

He said he was sorry for his earlier comments for the people who had migrated from India. He said he respects Urdu speaking people and that many of his close relatives are also Urdu speaking.

He said that those people who want to breakup Pakistain are pitiful. He hoped that the Chief Justice of Pakistain Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry would summon him in the hearing of the case regarding Bloody Karachi murders.

Zulfiqar Mirza said that he would remain a loyal worker of the PPP. He said if something happened to him those behind the Bloody Karachi killings and those behind the murder of Dr Imran Farooq would be responsible for it. He said that he would spend the rest of his life fighting for the rights of the oppressed people of Sindh.
