Re: Appeal to Pakistanis: Keep world renowned Mega corrupts out … they are diseased
Saleem let’s also condemn the killers of Hakim Saeed and Shaid Hamid…and the illegal President of Pakistan who dropped cases against the killers of these two gentlemen who suffered terrorism in the hands of these goons…
Let’s also condemn an absconder criminal Governor who personally dropped charges against these killings…
Enough is enough with your double standards…and support for terrorism against Pakistanis>>>

KARACHI: CM okays withdrawal of cases against MQM
By Tahir Siddiqui
KARACHI, Nov 2: The chief minister of Sindh, Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim, has approved the withdrawal of over 1,300 criminal cases against leaders and workers of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement.
Well-placed sources told Dawn on Friday that the review board, formed by the Sindh government under the National Reconciliation Ordinance on Oct 9, had recommended the withdrawal of the cases after close scrutiny. These included 1,280 cases in Karachi, 40 from Mirpurkhas and 10 from Hyderabad.
They further explained that the review board, headed by Justice (Retd) Dr Ghaus Mohammed and comprising Sindh Law Secretary Ghulam Nabi and Advocate-General Khwaja Naveed as members, was still in the process of examining another 1,500 cases that might be recommended to the CM for withdrawal.
Reportedly, several of the cases approved for withdrawal involved leaders of the MQM, including its self-exiled chief Altaf Hussain who was declared an absconding accused in the highly-publicised murder case of former KESC chief Shahid Hamid.
Under Sub-section 3 of Section 2 of the National Reconciliation Ordinance, the review board is empowered to review the entire record of the cases pending against any person, including an absconding accused who is found to have been falsely involved for political reasons or through political victimisation.
As envisaged in the NRO, the board may review any case initiated between Jan 1, 1986 and Oct 12, 1999, and furnish recommendations to the government of Sindh regarding their withdrawal from prosecution or otherwise.
