Violence has been on the rise ahead of the May 11 general elections, with the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) targeting the Awami National Party (ANP), the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) terming them ‘secular’.
On Saturday at least three people died and 33 others were injured in twin bomb blasts at an MQM election office in Karachi.
