ISLAMABAD: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement protested in the National Assembly and Senate on Monday against the alleged extrajudicial killings and persecution of its workers and Urdu-speaking people by Rangers during the ongoing operation in Karachi, according to local media reports.

The MQM members staged a token walkout from the National Assembly when the speaker did not allow them to move an adjournment motion on the Karachi situation, terming it a provincial subject, reportedly.

On the other hand, Senate witnessed some emotional scenes when two women lawmakers of MQM burst into tears during their speeches while speaking on the recovery of the body of party activist Hashim, who had allegedly been arrested by Rangers two months ago, sources further revealed.
