HYDERABAD: Protest against Karachi carnage continues

HYDERABAD, May 9: The Asgharia Students Organization staged a protest march from Kadamgah Maula Ali to the press club here on Sunday to protest against the Hyderi mosque carnage in Karachi.

Speaking on the occasion, the central president of the organization, Dr Jawad Haider Solangi said that America alone was responsible for organized terrorism right from Karachi to Karbala in Iraq.

He said that had terrorists behind the Quetta carnage been arrested, they would not have dared to kill innocent people in Hyderi mosque. Allama Raza Mohammad Saeedi said that the rule of law and justice had become misnomer in Pakistan.He said that so far no action had been taken against terrorists by the government.

The protesters adopted a resolution and demanded that perpetrators of Karachi and Quetta carnages should be arrested. Meanwhile, the nationalist leaders demanded that the Sindh government should accept its responsibility and tender resignation for its failure to protect innocent people in Karachi's Hyderi mosque.

Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party chairman Dr Qadir Magsi said that ever since Sindh's home department was given to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, terrorism and lawlessness had attained alarming proportions. He said that as long as the power remained in the hands of MQM, the situation would remain unchanged.

Dr Magsi said that terrorists had converted Sindh into a slaughter house. He said that rulers had miserably failed to control lawlessness in the province. Sindh National Party chairman Amir Bhambhro and central leaders Ashraf Noonari and Wahid Bux Sangrasi in a joint statement held the Sindh government squarely responsible for the murder of over one dozen people in Karachi.
