| 2010-08-21 |
| Awami National Party (ANP) leaders demanded on Friday Karachi be handed over to the army as the police and Rangers had failed to stop killing of Pakhtuns residing in Karachi. The ANP leaders asked the chief justice of the Supreme Court to take suo motu notice of target killing during the past two years in Karachi. The ANP leaders and workers offered ghaibana namaz-e-janaza of ANP Sindh leader Obaidullah Khan Yousufzai at Bacha Khan Markaz and held a condolence meeting. Party's provincial ministers, members of the provincial assembly (MPAs) and provincial office bearers attended the meeting to express resentment over Yousafzai's target killing and demanded the federal government and the Sindh government stop target killing of Pakhtuns in Karachi. ANP Provincial General Secretary Tajuddin Khan said Pakhtuns should set aside political differences and unite for their survival saying extremist forces and terrorists would wipe them out if they did not unite. Provincial Minister for Livestock Hidayatullah Khan, party's Provincial Deputy General Secretary Mukhtar Ali Khan, MPA Shagufta Malik, District Bar Peshawar President Raza Ullah Khan advocate and other ANP leaders condemned the murder of Yousafzai, demanding the Sindh government conduct judicial inquiry. |
