According to a news report published the News the splinter group of MQM Haqiqi lead by Amir Khan and Afaq Ahmed will be allowed to resume its political activities soon.
“The government has decided to allow the Mohajir Qaumi Movement-Haqiqi to resume its political activities,” highly reliable sources in the ruling coalition said on condition of anonymity. “The Haqiqi group had been pushed to the wall under the Musharraf regime,” they said.
The report says that the government has decided to review cases against the Haqiqi leaders all those cases will be withdrawn where the involvement could not be proved.
I think that the government intends to withdraw the cases instituted against the Haqiqi leaders under the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) which may be made a part of a constitutional package in the coming days to give it protection of the constitution.
The report also says that the Bait-ul-Hamza headquarter will also be rebuilt which was demolished in 2002.
This does not augur well for the province of Sindh, particularly for the people of Karachi. The workers of MQM Haqiqi had been involved in a large number of violent incidents in the city in which many people had lost their lives. The Haqiqi comprised all those elements of the MQM which were purged by the party on various grounds. In 1992 they came to the city when a military operation was launched in the urban areas of Karachi and were responsible for the killing and torture of a large number MQM workers and sympathizers.
