An injured worker of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), could not sustain injures and passed away on Saturday, private media reported.
The membership camp of MQM in Orangi Town was attacked by a hand-grenade on Friday night. At least, 20 people were injured including three MQM Members of Provincial Assembly (MPAs) Mohammad Hussain, Sheikh Abdullah and Saifuddin Khalid.
The deceased worker, identified as Abdul Jabbar, and two others were critically injured. Wounded persons were taken to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital; however, Jabbar could not sustain injuries and yielded to death.
