MQM accuses ANP

MQM Coordination Committee has accused ANP of being responsible for target killings in Karachi.

Addressing a press conference in Karachi Press Club, MQM Coordination Committee member Hammad Siddique accused ANP Sindh Leader Shahi Syed of supporting drug and land mafia in Karachi.

Siddique added that the rift between Pakhtuns and Hazarawal - which was seeded by Shahi Syed - is the cause of recent violence in Karachi.

The MQM Coordination Committee also condemned allegations levelled against the Sindh Governor by ANP.

Members of the committee demanded President Zardari to take notice of these allegations.
