KARACHI:
MQM leader Dr Farooq Sattar has said that it is the government's number one priority to expose and arrest those who are conducting target killings in Karachi, particularly those who have already been identified.
Speaking to the media today (Wednesday), Sattar said eyewitness accounts have been gathered and many people who have been wounded in recent attacks have recognized their assailants, making it "very clear who has perpetrated these attacks".
He added that the ongoing wave of violence in Karachi has to be a well-planned conspiracy, given the way people have been executed. He appealed for calm and patience from both MQM party workers and the public.
Sattar's press conference comes as the death toll in the metropolis has crossed 30 in the last 24 hours.
