Suharwardy’s murder: Protesters damage shops, vehicles

Staff Report

KARACHI: People protesting against the killing of PPP leader Munawwar Suharwardy’s killing damaged a number of vehicles, shops, traffic signals, a bank and other private and public property at Regal Chowk, Zaibunnisa Street, Abdullah Haroon Road and other parts of Saddar on Friday afternoon.

Enraged PPP activists shouted slogans against President Musharraf, the federal and provincial governments, Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Husain and Sindh governor Dr Ishratul Ibad.

The protesters pelted vehicles and shops with stones in Saddar. They smashed windowpanes of several shops. Soon shopkeepers pulled their shutters down.

Protesters also brunt tyres and lit bonfires on roads and streets and did not allow traffic to enter Saddar area. They damaged a bank, traffic signals and a police checkpost on streets around Regal Chowk. The riot police were deployed in the area, but they chose to look the other way to avoid any clash with protesters. “We shall continue the protest until the assassins of Mr Suharwardy are arrested and punished,” Mr Khuhro told party workers at a sit-in at Regal Chowk. He announced the PPP would stage a sit-in outside the Sindh Assembly on Saturday (today).
