The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Rabita Committee has applauded the protest staged by members of the civil society in Lahore against the killings of innocent people in the recent spree of violence in Karachi. The committee thanked the citizens of Lahore for raising their voice against the bloodshed and violence in Karachi.
“The protest in Lahore was an evidence of its citizens’ concern for unabated terrorism in the country, and Karachi in particular,” it said in statement issued on Sunday. The MQM emphasised upon the need for making concerted efforts towards elimination of terrorism in the city and the country at large in order to restore peace.
The committee appealed to human rights organisations and the civil society to play their role to restore peace in Karachi.
