Karachi bloodshed; MQM stage token walk out from Senate

ISLAMABAD: The agitated members of the MQM and Awami National Party (ANP) on Friday demanded from the government to control law and order situation in Karachi while later MQM staged a token walk out from the proceedings in sheer anger.

The leader of the opposition in Senate Abdul Ghafoor Haidri has labeled government as being miserably failure in unleashing its potential to make Karachi a ‘violence-free’ city.
During the debate in Senate on the maintenance of law and order and peace in Karachi, Abdul Ghafoor Haidri demanded government that all political parties and religious schools of thought be taken onboard on Karachi situation in order to chalk out a foolproof plan.
MQM’s Senator Tahir Mashadi said land and drug mafias finance all killings in Karachi.
Flaying the killings of MQM activists in Malir, Senator Zahid Khan of the ANP, Senator Wali said that efforts were afoot to get the city conquered.
They said that MQM was being ambushed once again, which their party would forcefully resist. They said that MQM, ANP would not only raise the voice within the assembly but also outside against the nefarious efforts to destabilize the city and finally conquer it.
Babar Ghauri told the House that compensation must be made for the innocent lives. Online
