Nine zero raid: Rangers to release factsheet

KARACHI: The Rangers have decided to issue a factsheet about the March 11 raid at the Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) headquarters, Nine-Zero, soon. Sources in the Rangers said that facts and figures about the Rangers operation at  Nine-Zero on March 11 are being willfully distorted by spokespersons of the MQM. “This distortion of facts is intended to create confusion and dodge serious issues related to the law and order of Karachi,” said a source. On the other hand, the MQM said that they did not issue any statement regarding the Rangers raid in the recent past. “The MQM’s complaints regarding the raid are lawful and right,” said the party’s spokesperson. “A judicial commission should be formed to investigate the Rangers’ raid at Nine Zero. The facts involving the murder of MQM worker Waqas Ali will be exposed if a judicial commission investigates the issue.”
