KARACHI: The Karachi Ulema Committee on Thursday announced countrywide “wheel-jam” strike on Friday (today) against assassination of prominent religious scholar and head of Jamia Farooqia seminary, Maulana Dr Mohammed Adil Khan who was killed on Saturday along with his driver in the metropolis.

The body urged traders, transporters and others to close their businesses.

This was announced by KUC member and leader of the banned Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat Maulana Aurangzeb Farooqi while speaking at a press conference in the city.

Flanked by other KUC members Qari Allah Dad, Maulana Hamad Madani, Maulana Taj Hanafi, Maulana Rab Nawaz Hanafi and others, he said that the assassination of Dr Adil and lack of arrest of the killers put a question mark over performance of the government.
