Rejecting SSP Rao Anawar’s allegations, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leaders on Thursday said that contrary to claims made, Tahir and Junaid had been picked up weeks ago.
Addressing a press conference at Khursheed Memorial Hall at party headquarters Nine-Zero on Thursday evening, MQM leader Haider Abbas Rizvi said that Tahir had been arrested on February 25, while the Junaid had been arrested on March 24, not on April 29.
To substantiate his claim, Rizvi showed copies of a petition which had been filed by Tahir’s relatives in the Sindh High Court on February 27 pleading against his illegal attention.
Terming the allegations made by SSP Anwar a campaign to defame the MQM, Rizvi asked who would ultimately benefit from this smear campaign.
