KARACHI: The roads leading to the residence of Dr. Zulfiqar Mirza were closed over the possible threats of a bomb. There was a possibility of a hand grenade attack, said a report by the Crime Investigation Department. SSP South Naeem Sheikh said that Mirza was out of the country but he would reach Karachi on Saturday, and security will be further tightened then.

@Asad - I am a Sindhi by residence (no matter what language I speak) and I say that no one is Anti-Mohajir, but people have mixed opinion about MQM. Bring about a change in MQM and try to make peace not war and you will see that all Sindhis (sindh living) will respect and embrace you. But if you call out statements like 'Karachi Humara Hai' and kill other settlers, you can only create fear, not command respect my friend. One can atleast expect that much from a educated class.
Dr.Mirza should take extra care because those who can kill Wali babar shaheed,can also hurt him.Take care.May you live long and help Karachi free from terrorism and extortionism.
@Asad: Bro, being anti MQM is nothing to do with anti Mohajir.Dont twist facts any more.You have right to vote for any party but MQM is no more Mohajir Party as its name stand now.Whole nation is against terrorist and militant wings of any party including MQM.So criticizing MQM and its policies is our democratic right, so dont take it over your nerves.No body is againt Mohajirs but we are against terrorist and fascist party.
This mean man keeps on giving anti mohajir speeches and the govt provides him with security rather than taking disciplinary action against his coarse and inflammatory behaviour!
yes!! block the road! block all the roads in this city, dont give a damn about inconvenience to the rest of society. zulfiqar mirzas security is more important. so WHAT if his house is right next to zamzama and thats how ppl may choose to go work or come home from work.
