TTP leaders statements confirm MQM concerns, says Sattar

KARACHI - MQM Rabita Committee deputy convener Dr Farooq Sattar on Tuesday said the confessional statement of Maulvi Umar, the spokesman for Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), is an eye-opener for those, who denied the MQM concerns about the Talibanisation of the city.

Maulvi Umar, in his interview with BBC Urdu service, had admitted the presence of Taliban in Karachi and vowed to eliminate the vulgarity in the metropolis and enforce Shairah.

Dr Sattar alleged that Taliban were hatching conspiracy to create ethnic and sectarian violence to sabotage the peace of city. He expressed these views while addressing a Press conference at Khursheed Memorial hall along with MQM Rabita Committee members, provincial ministers including Shoaib Ahmed Bukhari and Adil Siddiqui and others.
