QUETTA, Oct 21: Activists of the Pakistan People’s Party in the city offered ghaibana namaz-i-janaza on Sunday for the victims of the Karachi carnage.

Hundreds of PPP workers attended the prayers at the Sarawan House.

PPP Balochistan president Lashkari Khan Raisani alleged that Sindh Chief Minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim, the Chaudhry brothers and some federal ministers were involved in the attack on Benazir’s welcome rally.

He said the PML leaders and the remnants of Zia-ul-Haq were creating difficulties for the PPP because they were frightened of its popularity.

Mr Raisani claimed that three million people were in the procession and the number of people was expected to rise by another million at the Mazar-i-Quaid.

He said that the PPP led by Benazir Bhutto was people’s last hope and the party would live up to their expectations to steer the nation out of chaos and uncertainty.

He said that the PPP did not believe in violence and would continue its struggle for constitutional and democratic rights of people.
