THE horrible pre-planned incident of torching the Baldia Town factory on the instructions of a powerful lobby in the MQM because of non-payment of “protection money” by the factory owners in which 258 workers of the factory were burnt alive became the cause of the MQM’s debacle.

I appeal to the prosecution to prepare a flawless case against the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
