KARACHI: The Sunni Tehreek (ST) postponed its strike in Karachi -- originally scheduled for February 25 -- after a meeting with representatives of the business community, private schools association and transporters.

ST spokesman Fahim Sheikh confirmed this decision to The Express Tribune.

The strike call was given to protest the target killing of ST activists in the city.

No new date for the strike has been announced as yet.

The ST has criticised the government for its failure to arrest the culprits.

Earlier in January, two members of the ST were killed in an attack in New Karachi.
