Jamaat-i-Islami condemns Karachi violence

While condemning the bloodletting going on in Karachi, Jamaat-i-Islami Ameer, Syed Munawar Hasan has said that each party in the PPP-MQM-ANP ruling alliance wanted to tighten its grip on the port city exclusively. He said that the ruling parties in Sindh plunged the mega city in bloodshed as and when they desired. They were targeting innocent citizens and had taken them as hostages in a bid to surpass each other in extortion.
Syed Munawar Hasan said that as long as the people of Karachi did not arise against target killers and extortionists and did not reject them in elections, the situation in the city can not be peaceful. He also appealed to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to ensure the implementation of the Court order regarding restoration of peace in Karachi.
