Assalam Allikum,

I saw the letter of PTI to US senators and there were some links given at the bottom, report about MQM from  international media.

LINK

here is the report of UNHCR an agency of UN about the activities of MQM during the 90s. I think anything can't be more authentic than that. Although its old but still can be used as a referece against MQM.

Thanx
Pls comment.

OPEN YOUR EYES AND MINDS, NOTE THESE EXCERPTS FROM THE SAME REPORT ALSO:

-Several sources indicate that the army and intelligence agencies had become increasingly alarmed at the MQM's growing strength in urban Sindh.

-On 19 June 1992, combined police and army forces raided MQM offices in Karachi with the assistance of the dissident MQM Haqiqi group (MQM(H) or "real" MQM), which was then installed and sanctioned as the only faction acceptable to the government.
-As the police and army carried out raids, mass round-ups and siege-and-search operations in pursuit of MQM(A) leaders and militants over the next 30 months, thousands of ordinary MQM supporters and mohajirs were subjected to arbitrary arrest and detention, extrajudicial execution, beatings, torture, extortion and other ill-treatment (The Herald Nov. 1994b, 63-64; AI Dec. 1993; ibid. 5 Apr. 1994; ibid. 13 Dec. 1994; ibid. Jan. 1995; UNRISD June 1993, 32).

-According to analysts the army excesses committed during Operation Clean-up—the mass round-ups and human rights abuses, the propaganda war against the MQM and sponsorship of the Haqiqi faction—had alienated Karachiites.

-According to The Herald, a far more careful distinction is now being drawn between `terrorists' and the general public. The old practice of sealing off entire localities for days on end and hauling away almost every young man in sight had proved counterproductive, for obvious reasons. This time round, there were no mass arrests of men and boys belonging to `suspicious' age groups.... (ibid. July 1995b, 34).

-However, in a later report The Herald noted that the new operation was "lopsided and uneven," with security forces "not targetting all criminals, but a particular group of political activists" (ibid. Aug. 1995a, 25). Despite General Babar's claim that security forces had adopted a new strategy of "target arrests" (IPS 18 Aug 1995; The Herald Aug. 1995a, 27), mass round-ups and military-style siege-and-search operations were still commonly used (see subsection 4.1) (AFP 20 Aug 1995; The Herald Aug. 1995b, 28-30; AI 17 Aug. 1995; Country Reports 1995 1996, 1338). There was growing evidence that the Rangers and police were involved in human rights abuses, including beatings, extortion, disappearances, torture and extrajudicial executions of suspected militants in faked encounter killings (see subsections 4.2 to 4.4) (IPS 18 Aug. 1995; AFP 29 Aug. 1995; AI 17 Aug. 1995; ibid. Feb 1996, 17-18; The Herald Aug. 1995b, 28-30; ibid. Nov. 1995a, 46-47; ibid. Nov. 1995c, 56-58).

Aristoo, this was the result of what MQM did..

Offcourse we condemn such acts too...

And that is why we want you to become a peaceful party and support justice movement in Pakistan.
