leave out from 'notes' to end and add 'that civil disturbance in and around Karachi is the result of organised subversion on the part of the Pakistan terrorist organisation Mohajir Qaumi Movement (MQM); that MQM has displayed vicious hostility towards Pakistanis from other parts of the country, and to the locals of Sindh Province; that MQM extorts money from Pakistanis to support its cause; that MQM has been involved in procuring arms with which to bring terror to the streets of Pakistan; that recent unrest in Karachi followed a call by London-based MQM leader Altaf Hussain for MQM supporters to take violently to the streets; that MQM Senator Nasreen Jaleel was arrested for deliberately fomenting violence; that MQM refuses to renounce violence; condemns those Labour hon. Members whose criticism of the Pakistan Government serves to give succour to MQM; urges such Members to condemn those who use violence to destabilise democracy; does not consider those arrested for violent acts to be political prisoners; condemns the London-based Afro-Asian Solidarity Organisation for disseminating misleading propaganda on this issue; and congratulates the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and the Pakistan Army for the manner in which they have contained MQM-inspired civil unrest in very difficult circumstances.'.
