Owners of Bahria town are themselves involved in riots and vandalism

Mr Haleem Adil Sheikh, the central vice president of PTI, and the Opposition Leader in Sindh Assembly has said that the ‘owners’ of Bahria Town’ staged the drama to foment the ethnic riots in Karachi by allowing their goons to set certain portions of Bahria Town on fire by using chemical material to divert the attention of people from exegeses they had been committing on the local people. Mr Sheikh, speaking to media persons outside Sindh Assembly on Monday, said they once again saw Karachi being burnt yesterday by the same people, who had burnt and plundered Karachi in past identical arson acts and incidents.

He claimed that outlaws and bandits were brought by Asif Ali Zardari and his henchmen and cronies to create terror and termed it a deep-seated conspiracy to push Karachi again into the flames of ethical hatred. ” We will never ever allow these people to fan bloodbath in the city of light by resorting to such criminal acts” he added and asked the PPP rulers to mend their ways and stop hatching conspiracies against Sindh and its people to hide their criminal acts.

The PTI leader claimed that Bahria Town was actually owned by Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Zardari while Malik Riaz was just acting as contractor with the active help of its operational manager Syed Murad Ali Shah to occupy the lands of Sindh by displacing and evicting the indigenous people from Malir and other areas of the province.

He alleged that high-ups of the Sindh government on orders of Asif Ali Zardari again tried to push Karachi into riots to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere of the city by sending their goons in Bahria to sabotage the peaceful protests by the people of Sindh. He said that the same people with criminal mindset had led Karachi to bleed and the city was burnt by the criminals when Ms Benazir Bhutto was assassinated and lawyers were ambushed and burnt to death.

The PTI leader claimed that those who had gathered outside Bahria Town to register their peaceful protests were not involved in the fire incident, adding he claimed that those who had committed arson and subversive activities were already inside the locality and those people were hired by the real owners of the mega housing scheme. Mr Sheikh said that it was Asif Ali Zardari and his cronies, who had brought Malik Riaz from Islamabad and facilitated him by helping him through their blue-eyed boy , Rao Anwar and other police and revenue officials to occupy the lands of indigenous people.

He made it clear that Malik Riaz did not occupy the lands himself through his people but the then DC Malir ( who is still languishing in jail for his corrupt practices and misdeeds). He alleged that the PPP lawmakers , leaders and other elements had formed Rao Anwar Force to evict the villagers by occupying the lands of the local people. The PTI leader said that they would never allow the criminals to carry out the terror activities in Malir and other parts of Karachi to create ethnic riots adding he again termed the fire incident as the grave conspiracy to fan the fanaticism and ethnic strife in Karachi by pitting people of different races against each other. He said that PPP rulers in Sindh were already aware of the possible peaceful protest from different parts of Sindh ten days before their scheduled program but they allowed the rioters to resort to rioting, arson and setting some structures on fire.

” Everybody knows that the indigenous people like Chacha Faiz Mohammad Gabol and his family members . Mr Sheikh said that PPP leaders were only trying to dupe people on water shortage to conceal their own theft of water in various districts. He said that Sindh irrigation minister Suhail Anwar Siyal had done the dirty tricks and blamed the officials of Irsa for the water crisis in Sindh. ” Sindh is going to get required water in its three barrages within the next three to four days after water as per indent has already been released ” he added. He said Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah was speaking white lies with regard to the development funds adding he said the the rulers in Sindh instead of carrying out the schemes from the huge funds of Rs1,600 billion plundered the public wealth.”

Prime Minister Imran Khan had already announced the huge package of Rs one thousand billions and said that a number of the schemes were under the pipeline not only in Karachi but in all districts of Sindh” he added.
