“Sindh is the land of peace and we should make collective efforts to make this conspiracy a failure,” he said. “The miscreants are enemies of this nation.”

Speaking alongside him, Pakistan Peoples Party leader Sharjeel Memon urged political parties to stay away from negative elements who want chaos in the country.

“We will not spare the miscreants. We want peace and justice and this is a sensitive matter,” he said, while appreciating leaders of nationalist political parties for acting maturely and containing the conflict.

“It is our responsibility to end chaos,” he said.
