Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah visited Mufti Taqi Usmani who survived a gun attack in Gulshan-e-Iqbal and expressed solidarity with him.
Murad Ali Shah told Mufti Usmani that the attack on him was actually the attack on peace of Karachi. "They don't see Karachi developing, flourishing and emerging as a peaceful city, therefore they decided to create a wave of terror by attacking a humble, non-political, widely respected and renowned scholar like you," he said and added "Almighty Allah saved you and your children."
Shah assured Mufti Taqi Usmani that terrorists who attacked him would be arrested shortly. "The police have launched a combing operation to arrest the terrorists who attacked you," he told Taqi Usmani.
Mufti Usmani told the chief minister that his car was attacked with bullets squarely. "A bullet crossing me from the back side of rear seat hit my police guard Farooq who was sitting on the front seat.
Similar fires hit my car from different angles but Almighty Allah saved me and my two grandchildren who were with me but both guards and the driver could not survive," he said.
He also told the chief minister that there were 1,200 students in his Madressa where 3,000 students were boarding in hostel. The Mufti further said that his Madressa was offering O'Level and A'level education apart from offering Mufti, Maulvi and other courses. "We are a purely non-political entity even then terrorists attacked me was beyond my comprehension," he said.
The chief minister said that the attack was aimed at disturbing peace and tranquility of the city.
"This is why I am terming it an attack on Karachi," he said and added that "I am quite happy that Almighty Allah kept you safe and secure for promoting peace, education and brotherhood in the city.
INP adds: The Chief Minister announced treatment for the visually impaired children of the policeman who lost his life during the assassination attempt on Mufti Taqi Usmani.
Paying tribute to the martyred Sindh policeman who lost his life while protecting the religious scholar, the chief minister said we will not leave the family of the martyred policeman alone. "We will take care of the medical and education expenses of the children."
