HYDERABAD, Sept 14: A large number of Jamaat-i-Islami and Islami Jamiat Talaba activists staged a protest demonstration on National Highway on Friday to protest the killings of four IJT workers in Karachi.

They blocked the road and offered Ghaibana Namaz-i-Janaza for the departed souls.

The activists were carrying banners and placards and raising slogans against the government and its coalition partners.

Speaking on the occasion, the president MMA Hyderabad district, Abdul Waheed Qureshi, MPA Abdul Rehman Rajput, Amir Jamaat-i-Islami Hydera-bad, Shaikh Shoukat Ali and IJT leaders Zubair Hafeez and Adnan Danish said that IJT workers were gunned down in Karachi in a target killing.

They accused the MQM and its students’ wing for committing these gruesome murders.

They said that the coalition partners of the general were trying to create bloodshed in Karachi and wanted to destroy educational institutions.

They appealed to the Supreme Court to take suo motu notice of the incident and demanded of the government to arrest the murderers failing which the responsibility for the consequences will squarely rest upon its shoulders.
