Summary Sindh Assembly session has been adjourned till Friday.
KARACHI (Web Desk) –Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) provincial lawmakers vehemently protested in the Sindh Assembly over what they called ‘extra-judicial killings’ of the party workers in Karachi, Dunya News reported on Tuesday.
The session began with Deputy Speaker Shehla Raza in the chair.
Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Muhammad Hussain submitted an adjournment motion against extra-judicial killings and arrests of party works.
Provincial minister Dr Sikandar Mendro declared that motion is against Sindh Assembly’s regulations.
MQM MPA Khawaja Izharul Hassan said Sindh government is answerable to every incident of killing in the city. Where should they go if the matter could not be raised in the house.
Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon asserted that either it is extra-judicial killing or targeted killing, both are condemnable.
How the motion presented in the assembly can prove that political workers were killed extra-judicially, he added.
Sharjeel Memon said that names and evidence against police and Rangers personnel involved in extra-judicial killings should be submitted in the assembly.
The debate lasted for around 35 minutes. It irked the MQM members who tore down copies of the agenda, rising in their seats, chanting slogans against the government, demanding that the house should debate the issue.
The protest created chaos in the house which compelled the acting speaker to adjourn the session till Friday.
