Qazi sees a change in city soon

By Our Staff Reporter


KARACHI, May 26: Acting President of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal Qazi Hussain Ahmed has said that winds of change have started blowing as situation Karachi has taken a new turn.

He said that the new trend would prove to be the harbinger of a big change in the city. The MMA leader, along with the Secretary General of the alliance, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, was talking to the bereaved families of MMA activists Ishrat Ali Khan and Shahid Jan, killed during violence in May 12 by-elections in Karachi.

The MMA leaders declared that the innocent activists' blood would not go in vain... it would usher in an Islamic revolution in the country. They lamented that the May 12 by-elections in Karachi witnessed interference, vandalism and terrorism, on the part of the government, which claimed lives of nine MMA workers.

However, they added, the MMA would reciprocate the atrocities by extending gestures of love so as to foil the US conspiracy against the city and its citizens.

They flayed the authorities for not registering FIRs on behalf of the bereaved against the accused and appealed to PML chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain to visit Karachi immediately to assess the situation following the whole episode.
