HYDERABAD, May 18: Activists of Jamiat-i-Ulema-i-Pakistan, Hyderabad district, staged a demonstration against the killing of its leader Ghulam Fareed Siyali in Karachi on May 12.

The JUP activists condemned the killing outside Ghausia Masjid after Friday prayers.

MPA Abdul Rehman Rajput, Nazim UC-20 Hussain Bux Hussaini and others said that the adviser to Sindh minister had conceded blocking of roads by his party activists in Karachi on May 12. They said the `Muslim Qatil Movement’ murdered dozens of innocent people and demanded registration of murder cases against governor and the adviser.

They criticised the attitude of President Musharraf for making speech on the beat of drum in Islamabad while people of Karachi were being mercilessly murdered.

They said disturbances in Karachi had proved that there exists no rule of law in the country while terrorists had been exposed.

MPA, OTHERS BOOKED: An MMA MPA, a union council nazim and several JUP and SPSF activists were booked by Phulelli and Cantonment police for violation of section 144 Cr.PC on Friday.

Those booked include MPA Abdur Rehman Rajput, UC-20 Nazim Hussain Bux Hussaini and JUP workers Anwarul Haq, Nazim Arain, Shakir Raza, Saeed Noorani and Iqbal Kaimkhani, and SPSF activists Lala Rizwan and Zaheer Lakhair.
