The premier will chair a high-level meeting at Governor House to discuss law & order situation situation and ongoing standoff between the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
Taking notice of the deteriorating situation in the city, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif telephoned MQM leader Babar Ghauri and told him that he is visiting Karachi to meet relatives of the deceased party worker Sohail Ahmed.
On the other hand, PPP co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari directed CM Qaim Ali Shah and Senator Rehman Malik to contact Governor Ishratul Ibad.
Later, Rehman Malik visited Governor House and assured Ishratul Ibad of conducting judicial investigation into killing of MQM’s party worker.
Earlier on Thursday, MQM chief Altaf Hussain said that he considers Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah, the prime culprit of the killings of 36 MQM workers including Suhail Ahmed.
In a statement issued from London Secretariat, Altaf Hussain said that the police personnel arrested Sohail Ahmed, in-charge of Unit 64 of Society Sector, on December 15, 2014. He said that Chief Justice of Sindh High Court and Chief Minister including others were informed regarding his illegal and arbitrary arrest.
“Despite all such efforts, the police dumped his fatally-tortured body in Moach Goth area after killing him extra-judicially,” Altaf Hussain said.
MQM Chief said that none of the 36 martyred workers, including the murderers of Sohail Ahmed were arrested yet and he said that he and his party so far showed patience but there should be some limit for everything.
He said that MQM would react on every single abuse and violence against it and culprits had to bear the consequences.
