Mohajir Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chairman Afaq Ahmed has said that a movement would be launched to solve problems of the metropolitan city. He urged people to come out of their homes on April 12 carrying white flags, which symbolise peace and unity. He also revealed that he has secured a location in District Central to set up a party office, which will officially be opened in Samanabad on April 6 at 4pm. On April 12, convoys from all over the city will gather at UP Morr. He said he would appreciate it if the founder of the MQM-P supported his stance.
Speaking at a press conference at his residence on Thursday, Afaq Ahmed stated that not only Mohajirs but other ethnic groups are also facing injustices. Since January, 262 people have lost their lives in traffic accidents, while last year, the death toll was 750. Despite the increasing number of accidents, the government has taken no measures to prevent road accidents.
He also mentioned the incident in which a citizen was shot dead by criminals in front of his minor child. He criticised the law enforcement agencies, stating that when authorities need to apprehend political opponents, they dig up the ground to find them, while street criminals roam freely.
