MMA: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) on Tuesday slammed ban on pillion-riding by the district government and said that it would badly affect the routine life of thousands of people.
MMA activists Mohammad Aslam Shaikh and Prof Aijaz Alam said that the negligence of police was not blame for steep rise in crimes and the district administration had proved it by seeking help from Rangers.
They said that the ban would make it difficult for people to move as the same police who was responsible for their safety would disturb them on this pretext.
