Sabzwari, who is the Leader of the Opposition in the Sindh Assembly, claimed that five MQM workers were kidnapped by persons dressed in plain clothes the night before.
He asked that the government tell them which agencies have taken MQM workers into custody so that they can make an appeal regarding the issue in court.
The list mentions 45 MQM workers who have allegedly gone missing since the targeted operation started in Karachi on September 7, last year.
The targeted operation had started in Karachi after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif visited the metropolitan in September in a bid to devise a strategy to curb violence.
Sabzwari also claimed that the bodies of six of the men on the list were found during that period.
MQM representatives have claimed on many occasions that their workers are being made the target of unjust and illegal arrests under the ruse of the operation.

@Fawad Alam Day Dreaming ? @Karachiwala I speak for MAJORITY of Muhajirs who vote for MQM, PTI only got Punjabi Pukhtun vote of Karachi previously polled in favor MMA
@ Karachi Wala
I second you bro!
@ Dani Long Live PTI Stop commenting for every mahajir. MQM is your choice, not ours
All educated Karachites are with PTI.
@Saleem: PTI and JI are only bothered about their so-called assumed voters and not about the plight of its citizens. These acts of state terrorism shall only cause the country to suffer more!
@ Saleem How you know the workers kidnapped are Target Killers? Any court declared them target killers or your Ethno Political Bias convinced you that those innocent Urdu Speakers are target killers?
Secondly plz name 10 out of 52 MPA's 25 MNA's and 7 Senators who moved to Defense from middle class areas?
Thirdly you said MQM steals PTI mandate ROFL.
If MQM did that Why PTI lost miserably in Bye Elections on 22 August 2013 just 3 months after 11 May 2013 elections in karachi in presence of Army inside Polling Booths and MQM remained victorious? Now dont say Army was doing rigging in favor of MQM!
People like me who was born and raised in Karachi listening from the inception of MQM that MQM is history but sorry to say MQM is spreading even MLA's in Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan Sukker, Hyderabad and MirpurKhas.
Sorry dear PTI lost everything in Karachi not MQM, the Bye Elections after general elections in the presence of Army are proof of it and Pro TTP and Talibans policies and failed governance in KPK are enough for the people, You PTI fans are most welcome to live in fantasy world of facebook and Twitter and you are free the clean sweep all the elections on facebook from karachi.
Lastly go read history of Karachi, Ethnic violence in Karachi is not new to this city from 1958 to 1985 before MQM karachi was always engulfed in ethnic and sectarian killings i guess either you are too young or dont even belong from karachi thats why you dont even know the history of this city.
Why is MQM so concerned about the plight of target killers. With the courts too afraid to sentence MQM's killers, the only solution unfortunately is this.
MQM has indulged in mass killings and torture and they have the audacity of always playing the victim. They use this terror to steal elections in order to continue their reign of plunder and terror.
Faisal Sabzwari like the rest of MQM legislators know how they stole PTI's mandate in Karachi. MQM is the most hated party in Karachi, they have lost support from even their core support base. Everyone knows how Karachi has been systematically destroyed since the advent of MQM. These so called middle class legislators now mostly live in defence with their families living a life of luxury abroad. Many of these legislators drive around in bullet proof land cruisers and bmw's costing over rs 20 million. Unfortunately the media cannot point out these things, otherwise the same target killers of MQM who gunned down news reporter Wali Khan Baber will be used on them again. However the public is not blind and MQM does not control social media, which is why they hate that medium.
While the rest of the world progresses, Karachi regresses. InshaAllah very soon MQM will be history.
