Now I am fully convinced that history definitely repeats itself. On Monday August 22 I had an opportunity to listen to a press conference given by Dr. Farooq Sattar of MQM. He levied the following allegations against PPP. 1. PPP elements are responsible for extortion (Bhatta). 2. PPP elements are responsible for kidnapping innocent people. 3. PPP elements are responsible for kidnapping people for ransom. 4. PPP elements are responsible for killing people and packing the dead bodies in gunny bags. 5. PPP elements have full support of higher ups. 6. PPP elements are running the torture cells. If I am not mistaken these are the same charges which people of Karachi levelled against MQM during the last regime of Benazir Bhutto and thereafter Gen. Rtd. Babar the then interior minister took action against MQM. He unearthed several torture cells which were being run by armed groups. Pictures of these cells were shown on TV. After the end of BB's rule all those police officers, SHOs, SIs and ASIs who had helped the PPP government to clean Karachi, they were picked up one by one and were killed. All know by whom. DR. SIBGHATULLAH QADRI, Karachi, August 24.
