They condemned the attack on lawyers and journalists and criticized the MPA Abdul Rehman Rajput, who was elected on the MMA’s ticket but has betrayed the people of Hyderabad by supporting government.

The meeting was chaired by Hanif Siddiqui of the PML-N and attended by MMA leader Abdul Waheed Qureshi, STP leader Muzaffar Kalhoro, Haji Sher Zaman of the ANP, Saleem Tareen of the PKMAP, Dr Abdul Samad of the PTI Abdul Rehman Shaikh and others.
