Karachi: Jamaat-e-Islami Karachi Ameer Muhammad Hussain Mahenti has said that the history of May 12 mayhem was being repeated once again in the city. “Why the Karachiites are being punished for the contempt of court notice issued by Supreme Court against Altaf Hussain”, Mahenti questioned. He said that the people and the daily wagers labors have been deprived of their bread and better by the closure of CNG stations, petrol pumps, clinics, medical stores, public transport, markets, fruits and vegetables ‘mandis’ and shops in the city.
Mahenti added MQM was trying to sabotage the SC verdict over anomalies in voters’ lists and pressurizing the judiciary by carrying out protests. “Anti-judicial policies are being carried out by burning the effigy of Chief Justice Supreme Court and using false language against judiciary during protests”, he added. “The city and its people are being held hostage of terrorists while government and law enforcing agencies are be the silent spectators over the deteriorated law and order situation”, Mahenti said.
Mahenti urged the media to inform the people about the real facts without feeling pressure and fear of the terrorists otherwise media would also be considered equal responsible in anti-judiciary and anti-Karachi policies. JI Karachi Ameer expressed deep concern over the reporting of electronic media by quoting its report that “some unidentified miscreants are producing disturbance in the city”.
He said everyone knows one of the parties in government coalition is spreading terrorism in the city. He demanded of the government to take notice of the conspiracies being hatched against judiciary and to handle the terrorists with iron hands for the restoration of peace in the city.
He further added the present government was equally responsible for such devastating law and order situation, as it supporting its coalition partner to destroy the peace of the city.
