The JUI-F leader was shot at four times, according to the police. He is in critical condition and has been transferred to a hospital where he is currently being operated on.
A little less than a month ago, JUI-F Secretary General Sindh, Khalid Mehmood Soomro was shot dead in a targeted attack in Sukkur.
Dr Soomro was offering his morning prayers in a madrassa in Gulshan Iqbal Society in Sukkur when unidentified gunmen entered the mosque and shot him dead.
“Two armed men entered in the mosque and fired 11 shots, four bullets hit Khalid Soomro and he died on spot,” Tanveer Hussain, a senior police officer had told AFP.
