Hafiz Zain Bhutto, a leader of the party, and family members of the missing workers, told journalists that on Monday, the district president of the JSMM, Riaz Kakepoto, Qazi Ahmed taluka president Shahnawaz Bhutto and activists Ali Nawab Mehar and Jam Bhutto had approached the inter-city bus terminal near Rainbow Centre in Karachi to fetch a bus for their hometown after attending a hunger strike camp in front of the Karachi Press Club which had been organised for recovery of the missing workers.
They alleged that a heavy contingent of police, along with personnel of intelligence agencies, picked up the JSMM workers adding that their whereabouts were not known after passage of 24 hours.
They said that their cell phones were off and no agency or police was ready to give any information. They apprehended that the kidnapped workers might be executed.
Their family members have sought intervention of the chief justice of Pakistan and human rights organisations in the mater.
