Taliban, MQM identical evils: ANP
By: Iqtidar Gilani
LAHORE - President Awami
National Party Sindh Shahi Syed has said that Taliban and MQM were
identical evils and the US was patronising both of them.
He was speaking at Issue of the Day programme jointly organised by
Nawa-i-Waqt, The Nation and Waqt TV here at Hameed Nizami Hall on
Friday. The topic of the programme was ‘situation prevailing in the
country and role of political leadership’.
Drawing parallel between the MQM and Taliban, Shahi Syed said that
both were using teenagers for vested interests after their brain
washing. He said that the MQM has the same terror in Karachi as that
of Taliban in Swat and Buner. He said that the Taliban were killing
innocent people in NWFP while MQM was doing the same in Karachi. He
said the MQM Chief Altaf Hussain has made the people of Karachi
hostages in the name of ethnicity. He said that impartial judicial
inquiry of May 12 incident could reveal all the reality. He said
that the ethnic differences were fatal for the country but they were
in benefit of Altaf Hussain. He stressed upon unity among people
from different sects and ethnicity to face the internal and external
challenges.
Referring to Taliban, he said that they were creating unrest in the
NWFP and tribal areas even before 9/11. He said that the ANP was
continuously saying that it was not jehad but bloodshed and now the
entire nation has recognised this fact. He alleged that the City
government Karachi was patronising land mafia. He alleged that the
City Nazim has helped his stooges in getting land worth over
billions for peanuts and the PPP was more disturbed than the ANP on
this happening.
