Re: Multan Electric Corporation attack - a hero is born

I just got this news clipping from a guppy who used to support mqm but maybe the recent voilence on April 9 by MQM in karachi and the stepping down drama of Altaf bhai has changed this guppy’s opinion about MQM. According to the source provided by this guppy, MQM might be involved in the multan roits.

Coalition suspects MQM behind Multan riots

Staff Report

ISLAMABAD: The ruling coalition suspects the involvement of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) in the April 14 Multan riots, a source told Daily Times on Tuesday.

“We have unconfirmed reports from Multan that the MQM fuelled the riots for political motives,” a participant of Tuesday’s meeting between the coalition partners said.

“Pakistan People’s Party Co-chairman Asif Zardari said the government is investigating the incident and will expose the people involved and bring them to justice irrespective of their party affiliations,” he said.

In a joint statement after the meeting at Zardari House, the parties said incidents of violence in Lahore, Karachi and Multan were a conspiracy against the new government.

The source also said Awami National Party President Asfandyar Wali asked Punjab and Sindh to share some of their wheat supplies with the NWFP, in order to avoid a possible a shortage of wheat flour in the province.

On a side note I find it quite interesting that all present and past mqm and plm-q supporters love quoting daily times. Just an observation.
