KARACHI, June 14: Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal leaders and participants of an multi-party conference held under the auspices of the Pakistan Muslim League-N on Thursday gave a call for a peaceful strike on Friday to protest against terrorism and target killings in the city.

Making an appeal to the transporters and the traders to make the strike a success, they said the protest was being organised as after the massacre of 50 citizens in the wake of the May 12 strike, Syed Wasif Hafeez , a student leader, was murdered.

The speakers at the MMA protest rally termed Wasif Hafeez’s murder a continuity of the May 12 carnage saying that his only crime was that he was trying to unite all students organisations on one platform so that educational institutions in the province should once again be made a centre of learning.
