The 'Free Karachi' campaign has launched a new drive to raise global awareness over the plight of ethnic Mohajirs in Pakistan
The 'Free Karachi' campaign has launched a new drive to raise global awareness over the plight of ethnic Mohajirs in Pakistan. In this latest phase of the campaign, digital ads are appearing on the official website of a leading newspaper of the Unites States, New York Times, highlighting the Mohajir issue. On that note, New York Times is one of the leading newspapers in the USA, whose web based viewership is worldwide. These digital ads urge US Congress to stop all kind of military and financial aid to Pakistan, as its military establishment allegedly continues to commit atrocities against Mohajirs and provide safe havens to extremist terror outfits in the country.
Nadeem Nusrat, spokesperson for the Free Karachi campaign, told the media that the campaign in New York Times will run for at least two weeks and its ads will briefly explain what injustices the urban population in Sindh, Mohajirs in particular, has been facing. He said that Mohajirs are the most educated and secular group of people in Pakistan, who firmly believe in religious tolerance and coexistence. Pakistan¿s jihad-obsessed military establishment, however, is bent upon handing over these urban areas to its religious proxies such as the Taliban, JuD, Lashkare Jhangvi, AWSJ, SSP, al-Qaeda, ISIS and other extremist outfits. These murderous outfits are openly operating in Karachi under the support of the country¿s intelligence agencies, whereas political workers belonging to secular political groups continue to disappear after being taken into unlawful custody by the non-local security forces. The military establishment has also been busy causing division among the Mohajir political leadership to weaken the unity of Mohajirs.
