Cracker bomb thrown at Agha Siraj's Shikarpur residence
The cracker bomb was thrown from the back gate of the residence, which left the gate damaged.
A contingent of police reached his residence and cordoned off the area where an investigation is underway.
In a separate incident in Mirpurkhas, a grenade wrapped in a plastic bag was recovered from the ablution area in the house of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) MPA Haji Hayat Talpur.
While a hand grenade was also found outside the house of Sindh Assembly Speaker Nisar Ahmed Khuhro in Larkana.
Sources told Express News that police have arrested a suspect and transferred him to an unknown place for interrogation.
An unsuccessful grenade attack was also made on Sindh Law Minister Ayaz Soomro’s house in Larkana. Fortunately, the grenade failed to detonate since it fell in a pool of water in the house courtyard.
Meanwhile in Hyderabad’s Qasimabad area (Phase 2), Sindh Assembly member Imdad Pitafi’s house was attacked by unknown assailants on a motorcycle, where they threw cracker bombs in his house.
The explosion shattered windows of the house while injuring two relatives, sitting in Pitafi’s room at the time. They were identified as Asif Ali and Zamin Ali.
Commenting on these attacks, Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said that the PPP members will not be deterred by such cowardly acts.

What in the world is a cracker bomb!!!
PPP is letting Sindh be controllled. Nationalists are not anti-Pakistan and neither is Nawaz Sharif. He is more open to trade and causes for the country in recent times as is evident from his statements and his party's administration in Punjab. Sindhi people should understand that grass-root democracy does not thrive when from the inception it has been brought about by fear. PPP has been scared into passing this ordinance so as to secure their position with their chief ally in the next election; this has nothing to do with Sindh, it's just been promulgated to provide a safe way for them to continue their power.
If provincial govt feel that it is mirror of sindh due to its policies.
Nawaz Sharif and so-called Sindhi Nationalists in a well disguised plan to tear Sindh apart and lay the foundation for its secession. All peace loving and grass-root democracy loving Pakistanis (and Sindhis in particular) must oppose this heinous incitement and mindless violence.
Sindh Assembly laid the foundation for Pakistan by passing the historic Pakistan Resolution. Now Sindh Assembly has laid the foundation for grass-root democracy in Pakistan by passing the historic Sindh Peoples Local Government Ordinance. Instead of appreciating and following suit, certain elements are bound to retaliate & expose their true color.
