Washington [US] : The workers of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) staged a demonstration outside the White House against the atrocities by the Pakistani regime on Mohajirs. The MQM has demanded the United States in Washington to protest against the Pakistan apex court’s decision that pertained to demolishing the legal and private property of the Mohajirs in Karachi. MQM defines the apex Court’s orders as continued state atrocities against Mohajirs by the Pakistan military and its peripheral paramilitary forces and to make Sindh a federal colony. The MQM has demanded a separate nation for Sindhis. The MQM supporters gathered in front of the White House, chanting slogans for freedom and demanding for freedom.
