KARACHI, Jan 27: Sindh Home Minister Rauf Ahmed Siddiqui has said that 35 sealed mosques in Karachi would be reopened soon. He was presiding over a high-level meeting, which reviewed the issue of controversial mosques, in his office here on Thursday.

The meeting decided that a committee comprising representatives from all sects would be formed to chalk out a code of conduct with regard to the affairs of mosques and other religious institutions. MNA Mohammad Hussain Mahenti has been appointed as the chairman of the committee.
