The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) has declared a day of mourning in Karachi today (Thursday) to condemn the death of a worker who was killed as police baton charged MQM-P demonstrators in front of the Sindh Chief Minister’s House.
The MQM-P had originally planned to observe a black day today in protest of police violence used to disperse MQM-P protesters staging a sit-in outside the Sindh Chief Minister’s House against a recently passed local government law, but later changed its mind and announced a day of mourning in honour of a worker who died.
MQM-P leader Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui reported the death of a party worker named Aslam while addressing at the MQM Bahadurabad headquarters. On the orders of Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, police used tear gas shelling and baton charges, according to him, injuring multiple MQM-P workers, including women and children.
We would file a first information report (FIR) against Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah for the murder of our worker, he added, adding that the provision of terrorism will be included in the FIR.
