KARACHI, July 25: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement coordination committee on Monday urged people to foil the alleged conspiracy of Jamaat-i-Islami to tarnish the image of Muttahida.

It claimed that its “intelligence wing” had unearthed the conspiracy that was aimed at plunging the city into another blood bath.

Meanwhile, Haq Parast members of the assembly asked the Jamaat-i-Islami to explain what links it had with Al Qaeda and why activists of that international terrorist organization were arrested from their houses. They slated the Jamaat-i-Islami for misleading people for the last 57 years and using the youth as the cannon fodder in Afghanistan and Kashmir.

They urged the president and prime minister to ban the JI for allegedly having links with Al Qaeda. The ladies wing of Muttahida criticized the electoral understanding between the MMA, the Jamaat-i-Islami and the PML-N to deny the women right to vote in Batagram, NWFP, in the upcoming elections.

They said that if the JI was in favour of denying women the right to vote, why they had not asked their ladies to quit the national and provincial assembly seats.
