KARACHI, April 21: The Islami Jamiat Talaba on Friday gave a call for a sit-in in front of the President House in Islamabad on April 27, if the federal government does not remove the Sindh governor and arrest the suspects involved in the Nishtar Park bombing and killers of Farhan Asif and Syed Akmal.

Speaking at a press conference at the Karachi Press Club, Nasarullah Khan Goraya, Nazim IJT Pakistan, said that they would publish a white paper exposing the activist of the MQM and demanded of the federal government to impose a ban on the party.

Referring to the incident of the Government College for Commerce of Economics, in which one of their member was killed; Mr Goraya said that so far five students had lost their lives to terrorism in different educational institutions of the city.

He alleged that SHO Preedy and SHO Artillery Maidan were directly patronizing terrorist activities of the APMSO.

Mr Goraya pointed out that the suspension of the APMSO activists, who were nominated in the murder case of Akmal showed that they were trying to cover up the case. However, he feared for the lives of the three nominated suspects and demanded they should be immediately arrested by the police.

Meanwhile, IJT activists held protest demonstrations outside major mosques of the city after Jumma prayers against the killing of its worker Akmal, who was killed on April 20 at the Govt. Commerce and Economics College Karachi, adds PPI.

A black day was observed at educational institutes all over the city including University of Karachi, Federal Urdu University, engineering, medical, intermediate and degree colleges and the IJT activists attended classes by wearing black armbands.

The IJT has nominated three activists of the All Pakistan Mohajir Students Organisation (APMSO) in an FIR, who were expelled from the APMSO immediately after allegations were levelled against them by the IJT.

The biggest protest demonstration was held outside the Baitul Mukaram mosque in Gulshan-i-Iqbal, which was addressed by Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) leader Allama Hasan Turabi, MPA Younus Barai and IJT Nazim-i-Aala Nasarullah Khan Goraya.

A large number of MMA, Jamat-i-Islami (JI) and IJT workers attended the protest demonstrations and chanted slogans against the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, Altaf Hussain, Sindh Governor Ishratul Ibad and Home Minister Rauf Siddiqui.

They were also carrying banners and placards inscribed with slogans and demands for the removal of Sindh governor and home minister and arrest of the alleged killers belonging to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement.

Allama Hasan Turabi accused the provincial government of resorting to state terrorism but said it was not the first or last sacrifice and many more youngsters were ready for sacrificing their lives in struggle for the implementation of Islam in Pakistan and demanded immediate removal of the Sindh government.

IJT Nazim-i-Ala Nasarullah Khan Goraya said killers of IJT worker Akmal were enemies of the Karachiites and wanted to terrorise people raising voice against their terrorism but the IJT would continue its struggle for liberating educational institutes from the grip of terrorists.

He charged that the Sindh governor and home minister were directly supervising terrorist activities and sheltering notorious criminals and alleged that cancellation of memberships of the nominated killers by the APMSO was an evidence of their involvement in terrorist activities.

Protest demonstrations were also held outside the Memon mosque on M.A. Jinnah Road, Quba mosque F.B Area, outsides various other mosques in North Nazimabad, Gulistan-i-Jauhar, Malir, PECHS, Saddar, and several others areas of the city.

Several MMA and JI leaders including MNA Mohammad Hussain Mehnti, MPA Nasarullah Shajee, JI Karachi Amir Dr Merajul Huda Siddiqui, zonal leaders of JI and IJT office-bearers addressed demonstrations and demanded the arrest of the killers of the IJT worker Akmal.

Quran Khawani was also arranged at a number of educational institutes including KU, FUUAST, DUHS and some intermediate college while at some institutions, teachers boycotted classes in protest against the murder of a student.
