Waseem Akhtar calls for Mirza's house arrest under MPO
Akhtar asserted that Mirza should be put under house-arrest under Article 16 of Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) adding that Mirza wants to disrupt peace in Karachi with the help of bandits.
He also requested President Zardari to resolve issues between Mirza and Rehman Malik.
Meanwhile MQM chief Altaf Hussain appealed in a statement to his party workers to remain calm and peaceful despite Mirza's heated statements.
Earlier on Sunday after a trip from overseas, Mirza launched into a diatribe against the MQM, just three days after it formally rejoined the ruling coalition led by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
He addressed a press conference at the Peoples Stadium in Lyari lashing out against MQM chief Altaf Hussain and calling the PPP-MQM coalition a conspiracy to break up the country.
Mirza blamed the MQM for several crimes in Karachi including murder, extortion, robbery and even rape. He claimed that he would ‘expose’ the MQM taking ‘evidence’ he has against the party and its chief to courts in the United Kingdom.

I don't understand why few people have to come up with some low-standard point of views regarding Zulfiqar Mirza when he's trying to fight against the traitors of this country. To many of my fellow countrymen who remarked that he is disrupting peace in KHI, please show some support and respect for the one who has the courage to come forward and speak for the people living in KHI. ZM has himself accepted the fact that he has done bad things (magnitude Allah knows) in the past but now he wants to be a good and honest person.
On the other hand, MQM always has an excuse to thier wrongdoings, never they admit thier mistakes and always point fingers on others.
In the end, the root cause of every crisis in PAK is Shariah (Islamic Law) not being a part of the constitution. When Islamic Law is implemented every crisis will come to an end InshAllah!
Unite people not divide them... Hatred should have its limits. The media has been extremely irresponsible in publishing and broadcasting divisive statements that creates hatred and divides people. In any case they are unsubstantiated statements. No where in the world such divisive and disruptive statements are published. Media should not publish and broadcast statements that become cause of division... Should the other party react what is going to happen to Karachi. This is very dangerous. Zulfiqar Mirza we all know is not a balanced individual. He is there because he is the friend of the president while he should have been there if he had the qualifications to occupy that post. Injustice to people of Sindh... merit trampled! He appointed 10,000 policemen without a procedure and trampled merit. So he has done injustice to some deserving candidates. The result is we lost good candidates and they became jobless. If they resort to crime who will be responsible? Mr. Zulfiqar Mirza. I did not write Dr.Mirza because this is not a medical matter.
@Tariq Shah Every citizen of Pakistan is a son of Pakistani soil. Your statements are racist and deplorable. Get a life.
He is a corrupt wadera and Sardar of a criminal Liyari Amn Committee. How one can accept him as a an brave and honest politician when people in his constituency in Badin are dying because of flood and he in taking tour of the world and playing politics instead of helping flood affected people in Badin at least MQM is doing much more flood relief activities for the people of Sindh as they did in the past in the 2005 worst ever earthquake in Kashmir.....NO ONE CAN MAKE FOOL PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN and get real while showing ure ethnic hatred against a community who built the Karachi and got international recognition from the world.
Mirza is creating a trouble and disrupting peace in Karachi by blaming a majority party of Karachi. He must respect the people of Karachi and should not threat them by saying that if he is in power again he will issue 500000 gun licences. What Mirza is taking about must be taken serious. Mirza wants to kill innocent people through its People Commitee.It is high time that the government must take action against Mirza and CJ Mr Iftekhar Coudhry should examine his speech and see whether Mr Misza should be punished under public safety act.Nobody should be above law and talk nonscense in public.
Something is wrong with Mirza clearly.. And with us,Pakistanis,too. And this means we,Pakistanis,are fool enough to believe anything said against MQM. NO Matter how freaking unbelievable it is!!
Root cause of Karachi situation is MQM unlawful activities and deliberately it protected by the Establishment as its touts. All other is its reactions.
Zulfiqar Mirza is doing good job by exposing MQM & his own party PPP.It takes lots of guts to speak truth these days when killing is rampant in Pakistan,particularly in Karachi which happens to be under the clutches of MQM. One would support Dr. Mirza for taking on both PPP & MQM.Why should he be arrested,because he is speaking the truth.Carry on Doc.
.
And the MQM doesn't do that?
