کچھ عینی شاہدین کا کہنا ہے کہ حملہ آوروں نے جو ایک موٹر سائیکل اور سفید رنگ کی کرولا کار میں سوار تھے فائرنگ سے پہلے اللہ اکبر کا نعرہ لگایا۔ پولیس نے شبہ ظاہر کیا ہے کہ واقعے میں کالعدم لشکر جھنگوی ملوث ہے۔
کراچی کی ایک مذہبی جماعت مجلس وحدت مسلمین کے رہنماؤں علامہ حسن ظفر نقوی اور محمد مہدی نے حکومت سے مطالبہ کیا ہے کہ وہ کالعدم مذہبی تنظیموں کے خلاف کراچی میں آپریشن کرے اور دہشت گردوں اور اُن کے سر پرستوں کوجلد سے جلد گرفتار کرے۔
رہنماؤں کا کہنا تھا کے اگر حکومت سانحہ نشتر پارک ،سانحہ عاشورہ، چہلم اور داتا دربار میں ملوث دہشت گروں کو گرفتار کر لیتی اور ان کے پشت پناہی کرنے والے عوامل کو سامنے لے آتی تو اس طرح کے واقعات پیش نہیں آتے۔
دوسری جانب وفاقی وزیر داخلہ رحمان ملک نے سینیٹ میں بیان دیتے ہوئے کہا کہ ایم کیو ایم کے رکن صوبائی اسمبلی حیدر رضا کو کالعدم تنظیم سپاہ صحابہ پاکستان کی جانب سے دھمکیاں مل رہی تھیں۔ ان کا کہنا تھا کہ ان دھمکیوں کی اطلاع سندھ حکومت اور گورنر سندھ ڈاکٹر عشرت العباد کو دے دی گئی تھی۔
Rehman Malik blames SSP
ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik accused banned group Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) for the assassination of MQM MPA Raza Haider, who was gunned down in Karachi along with a police constable on Monday. Talking to reporters at the Parliament House, Malik said there were reports of death threats to Haider’s life, which had been conveyed to certain senior officials. He said the perpetrators of this act wanted to destabilise Karachi, which amounted to instability in the rest of the country. He appealed to the MQM not to be scared of the elements that did not want peace in Karachi, assuring them that “we will definitely apprehend the killers”. He asked MQM chief Altaf Hussain to appeal to his party workers to stay calm. The minister said the elements behind this incident wanted to create rifts between the ANP and MQM. Separately, speaking in the Senate, Malik claimed that creating unrest in Karachi – the country’s commercial hub – was part of a “larger scheme” to destabilise Pakistan. “I’m going to tell you that a bigger formula has been framed against Pakistan. It is part of a larger scheme to destabilise Pakistan,” he remarked. Malik said a joint investigation team of law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies would be looking into all aspects of the MPA’s murder. app/staff report
