Authorities seal, demolish MQM offices in Karachi

Author: Web Desk

A total of around one hundred and ninety offices of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) have been sealed across Karachi within three days.

The local administration jumped into action and demolished the party’s unit offices in Mosamiyat, Bhains Colony, Tariq Bin Zaiyad Society, Gulshan-i-Maymar and Shah Faisal Colony on the plea that they were set up illegally.

According to an official, the decision to demolish the MQM offices built on state land and amenity plots were taken during a meeting between Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and Chief Minister Shah on Wednesday. Besides, he said, the provincial and federal governments had also decided to dismantle or seal those offices of the party which helped unscrupulous elements or created fear among the general public.

Earlier today, MQM offices were sealed in Jheel Park and Shah Faisal Colony areas.

In Azizabad, the name of “Mukka Chowk” has also been changed to “Liaquat Ali Khan Chowk”.

The photos and posters of MQM chief at Nine Zero and several other places were removed whereas Khursheed Begum Memorial Hall and transport office were also set up illegally.
