KARACHI: Pakistan is facing terrorism due to wrong policies of rulers, said chairman of the Shikarpur Shuhada Committee (SSC) Allama Maqsood Ali Domki on Monday.

Addressing a press conference at Karachi Press Club, he said that after the Shikarpur incident, the Sindh government had formed a committee to take action against extremists in different parts of Shikarpur but no action had been taken in this regard.

He said they had decided to hold a referendum on April 19 in which people of Sindh would decide what step should be taken against the extremism.
