Home Minister describes death of Khalid an act of target killing. Sindh Home Minister Dr Zulfikar Mirza has Tuesday described the assassination of Khalid Shahenshah, a PPP leader and Security Officer Bilawal House an act of target killing.
Talking to media at Jinnah Hospital where body of deceased was taken for post-marterm, Home Minister, however, said that an inquiry committee has been formed to investigate the killing of Khalid who received four bullets.
Dr Zulfikar said that conspiracies are being hatched against PPP and murder of Khalid is a conspiracy to destabilise the government. Replying a question, he said it would be premature to suggest that Khalid was killed for his being a witness in Benazir Bhutto's assassination case.
He said that the accused were riding a white colour car when they intercepted Khalid in Clifton area and gunned him down. Meanwhile Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah has expressed grief over the killing of Khalid Shahenshah and ordered IG police to investigate the matter and bring the culprits to book at the earliest.
