| Media Cell, MQM USA; New York; April 9,
2009: A huge protest rally was staged today in front of UN Building in
New York by Women Wing, MQM USA in collaboration with MQM New York
Chapter, to protest against Swat Incident in which a teenage girl was
flogged publicly by Talibans last week. This protest rally was also in
continuation of the protest rallies staged by MQM worldwide last week to
protest the same. The rally was attended by the Patron-in-Chief MQM
North America, office bearers and members of Women Wing, MQM USA, office
bearers of MQM USA, office bearers and workers of MQM New York, office
bearers and members of Youth Wing New York, members of The Advisory
Committee, MQM New York, as well as the supporters and members of the
Pakistani community including women in large number. The participants of
this peaceful rally were holding placards inscribed with slogans against
Talibans, their terrorist activities, Talibanization of northern parts
of Pakistan, and urban areas of Sindh. There were also slogans which
said that Talibans are nothing but the other name of terrorism. Those
who spoke at the rally utterly condemned the Swat Incident and said that
those societies where women are not respected cannot be proclaimed civil
societies. They also said that the picture of religion portrayed by
Talibans is a distorted one and this is the high time that a
consolidated effort be made to wipe out the terrorists and terrorism
from the planet of earth to make this planet a better place to live for
the human being. At the end of the rally the office bearers of Women
Wing MQM met the officials of UN and handed them over the Memorandum and
a “Dossier” produced by MQM USA against the activities of Taliban. |
