KARACHI, June 5: The Jafria Alliance Pakistan chief, Senator Allama Abbas Kumaili, has said that Karachi has been embroiled in a fire and blood under a well-planned conspiracy.

Allama Kumaili, who was flanked by Allama Furqan Haider Abidi, Allama Aftab Haider Jafri, Maulana Ghulam Ali Waziri (from Gilgit) and others, was addressing an emergency press conference at his residence on Saturday.

He said that agents of certain agencies and high officials were involved in aggravating the violence after blasts. He alleged that it was an old and shameful anti-human conspiracy of agencies to affect political changes. "We had forewarned higher authorities that one TPO and members of a peace committee were involved in the violence," he said and accused police for worsening the situation.

Allama Kumaili demanded high-level judiciary inquiry into the role of agencies in worsening the situation after the Hyderi mosque and Imambargah Ali Raza blasts. He demanded immediate payment of compensation to the injured and the heirs of martyrs. In this connection, he said that the commitment of Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Ijaz-ul-Haq and Sindh governor Ishratul Ibad to double the compensation should be implemented without any exception.

He further said that the payment of Rs2.5 million, promised by City Nazim as compensation to the victims of Keenjhar Lake tragedy last year, had not been made so far.

Allama Kumaili also demanded dismissal of certain police officials and registration of cases against them, who were involved in mishandling of Allama Nisar Qalanderi and women in Ancholi. He alleged that the policemen misbehaved with women and committed excesses after trespassing in their houses.

Referring to the firing and shelling on Hussaini Blood Bank as well as on funeral procession, he called for institution of cases against them. Besides, an operation be carried out in police department and other law enforcement agencies to screen out prejudiced personnel, he added.

In Gilgit too, he said that certain agencies were involved in creating law and order situation on pretext of syllabus issue in order to divert the attention of people from Wana operation.
