PSF warns MQM, APMSO
Karachi: If PSF party workers are not
safe in the educational institutions of Karachi then neither are the members of
the All Pakistan Muttahida Student Organization (APMSO), the central leadership
of Pakhtoon Student Federation (PSF) Sindh warned in a press conference held
Friday at the Karachi Press Club (KPC).
The press conference was led by
PSF Central Leader Ismail Khan Mehsud, PSF Sindh President Tariq Khan Tareen and
PSF Provincial Secretary Altaf Khattak. Mehsud alleged that the Governor of
Sindh and City Nazim were responsible for creating unrest in the educational
institutions of the city.
He claimed that the MQM and its student wing
APMSO were trying to create ethnic violence and destroying the peace in the
educational institutions of the city to blackmail the future government of
Sindh.
Mehsud alleged that in the last few weeks, MQM and APMSO activists
jointly tortured PSF workers in different educational institutions, including
Johar Degree College, Superior Science College and Asif Abad Degree
College.
He further alleged that MQM and APMSO activists entered the
Superior Science College in the presence of SHO Nadir Khan and other police
personnel in three cars, including one private ambulance, seized two PSF
workers, Sheer Nawaz and Naveed Alam, took them to their sector office and
tortured them.
After the MQM workers were done with the PSF workers they
took them to Khokharapar and asked them to flee, only to open fire at them from
behind, which resulted in them getting critical bullet wounds. It was with the
help of the residents that the area police shifted them to the Jinnah
Hospital.
Despite the PSF's repeated requests, the police has avoided
registering an FIR against the culprits, claimed Mehsud. He added that the
police have agreed to register an FIR but on the condition that the name of the
MQM sector in-charge will not be included.
The PSF gave a one-week
ultimatum to the government for fulfilling their demands which include the
registration of an FIR against the nominated culprits and the suspension of SHO
Nadir Khan. If their demands are not fulfilled, Mehsud said, the PSF will start
its own protest campaign across the city. Daily Times
