The Hakeem Saeed Murder Case Fraud

A fellow writer at Pakspectator.com blog, Mr. Salman Magsi,accused that current Governor Sindh Dr. Ishrat ul Ebad who belongs to the MQM was guilty of Hakeem Saeed Murder. I initially wrote my

response in the comments section of his post but then decided to write an independent short article.

Here is how it goes...

Dr. Ishrat ul Ebad was never implicated in the Hakeem Saeed case. The nine accused as per the Dawn newspaper were:

Shaikh Mohammed Aamirullah,

Mohammed Shakir alias Shakir Langra,

Mohammed Nadeem alias Nadeem Mota,

Mohammed Faisal,

Mohammed Zubair,

Abu Imran Pasha,

Nazar alias Muqarrib,

Mohammad Zubair and

Ezazul Hasan.

Here is how the police and others concocted the whole thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_jo_5Tfus0

All accused were honorably acquitted by the Sindh High Court on August 18, 2001 on the basis of the following grounds, verbatim:

i) The confessional statements of the accused were recorded after considerable delay and were neither voluntary nor corroborated by independent witnesses;

ii) The identification parade of the accused was delayed and defective in that the accused were not only exposed to the general public through media but were also shown to the witnesses prior to the

actual parade;

iii) The recovery of the weapons of crime made from the nullah adjacent to the Sindh Secretariat were belated and evidenced only by the Police officials and if private witnesses were not available, the

exercise should have been carried out in the presence of a Magistrate;

iv) The testimony of the approvers was not helpful to the prosecution as pardon was extended to them under Sections 337 / 338 Cr. P.C. without obtaining the consent of the injured, legal heirs of

deceased Hakim Abdul Qadir and Wali Muhammad and all the legal heirs of t deceased-Hakim Muhammad Said;

v) The motive set up by the prosecution was immaterial.

vi) The ocular evidence was not confidence inspiring.

I am not sure where you are based, but if you are based in Pakistan, then you stand not only accused of libel against Dr. Ishrat ul Ebad, but also in contempt of the Sindh High Court.

The only way the Federation of Pakistan or the Province of Sindh can bring the real accused back to trial is if the current government appeals the SHCs decision to the Supreme Court.

I hope that the government does just that, as you have naively suggested in your piece as well.

If they chose to bring the Hakeem Saeed murder case fraud back to the Supreme Court, then I would suggest all of the victims of the illegal Operation Cleanup of 1992-1998 to plead to the Sindh High

Court as well as the Supreme Court to make them whole. Read here about the illegality of the operation http://www.thearynews.com/english/newsdetail.asp?nid=32682

Corruption is the biggest challenge the Pakistani nation faces. The MQM is the only major political party in Pakistan that does not have any of its members--from Governor all the way down to the

members Sindh Assembly--involved in corruption. They are also the only political party that challenges the corrupt ruling elite's plunder of the otherwise very talented and resourceful nation; both in

natural as well as natural resources.

That is why the MQM is implicated in criminal cases that are easy to concoct--through one of the most corrupt police forces in the world--but very difficult to prove as indicated in above verbatim text

from the Sindh High Court ruling. Hence, a never-ending media trial of the party, based on fake cases, is maintained through paid and naive media personalities. This is done by the Pakistani elite

class to continue their hold on the wealth of the nation by stalling the MQM's growth.

I respectfully urge anti-MQM writers to check their facts and figures before writing their next piece.

Towards a peaceful and prosperous nation
