–Sattar says masses being punished for the crimes of land mafiaMuttahida Quami Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) chief Farooq Sattar, while commenting on the anti-encroachment campaign across Karachi, said that the MQM-P respects the Supreme Court verdict, but will not let Karachi residents get displaced. Speaking to reporters outside the Karachi Press Club, the MQM-P chief said that his party is against the land mafia, but it will not tolerate any injustice to the people. Assuring the affectees of the MQM-P’s support, Dr Sattar said, “The process of the displacement of the residents should stop. “Rest of the land grabbing has been done in the name of Russian-cutting and American-cutting,” he remarked. “MQM-P has always peacefully protested over issues and [this time] the party [too] is legally and politically standing beside the people of Karachi,” he added.
