KARACHI: Additional District and Session Judge (ADJ) Malir on Saturday granted bail to Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz (JSQM) Chairman Bashir Khan Qureshi in two identical cases of arms possession against the surety of Rs 200,000. The court also issued Qureshi’s release order to the jail authorities.
ADJ Malir Munawar Sultana was hearing a bail application of the JSQM chief in two identical cases of illegal arms possession. His counsels appeared before the court and stated that the Steel Town police station had registered two FIRs (256/2011 and 258/2011) under section 13-D (keeping illegal arms) and 13-E (recovering illegal arms on arrested person’s information). The counsel further stated all arms were licenced while Qureshi also had permission for carrying arms. The counsel presented licences and permissions before the court and requested for bail to his client against his legal right. The court granted his bail application and issued the release orders to Malir Jail’s authorities.
Meanwhile, thousands of JSQM workers gathered outside Malir District Courts during the proceedings and chanted slogans for the release of their leader while criticising the government and Interior Minister Rehman Malik.
Meanwhile, Jeay Sindh Qaumi Muhaz (JSQM) Chairman Bashir Khan Qureshi has accused Interior Minister Rehman Malik of lodging a fake and baseless FIR against him, adding Rangers were also adopting biased attitude against Sindhis and Balochs.
Addressing his party workers and journalists outside Malir Jail after his release on bail here Saturday, Qureshi said that the Pakistan Rangers had biased attitude against all Sindhis and Balochs and were involved in spreading terror in their dominated areas in Karachi, including Layari, Malir and Gulshan-e-Hadeed for the past several months.
Talking to Daily Times, he said: “I neither afraid of jails nor torture cells as they are not new for me.” He said that the Rangers were pressing Sindhis in the cover of operation and the current operation was not against the real terrorists, land grabbers, drug mafia and anti-society elements.
Qureshi said that the Rangers would not be successful in curbing target killings and other crimes because they were not serious in fighting against the criminal elements. “Rangers only want to enjoy facilities on the money of Sindh’s poor people and that is why they are insisting to stay in Sindh, particularly Karachi and Hyderabad”, Qureshi claimed. asghar azad
