KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Shehla Raza received an anonymous letter that threatened to blow up her car, the lawmaker said Tuesday.
Raza received the letter on the address of the Sindh Assembly Secretariat.
The PPP leader showed the contents of the letter to Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani in his chamber before the opening of the Sindh Assembly session.
Durrani took notice of the letter and has assured Raza that the matter will be taken up on the floor of the assembly.
He also said that he would ask Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah to provide Raza and a few others, including MQM leader Haider Abbas Rizvi, Shia scholar Allama Abbas Kumaili, former PPP leader Faisal Raza Abidi and Hasan Zafar Naqvi who are said to be under threat, with foolproof security.
He added that an investigation would also be carried out to probe as to where the letter came from.
