Condemning the killing of a Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) worker in OrangiTown, party chief Altaf Hussain said the neighbourhood had become a hub of Al-Qaeda and IS terrorist activities.

In a statement issued on Friday, Hussain said that thousands of MQM workers had been killed in OrangiTown area. “Orangi Town, Pakistan Bazaar and Chishti Nagar have become hubs of al-Qaeda and Daesh (IS),” he said.

The MQM chief said that none of the terrorists behind killing of the party activists had been arrested yet, adding that the militants could be brought to justice with proper surveillance in Pakistan Bazaar and Chishti Nagar areas.

Offering condolences to the slain activist’s family, Altaf Hussain said all party members including him were with them in this moment of grief. He demanded swift arrest of the culprits behind Danish Kalim’s murder.

Kalim was a member of the MQM’s medical aid committee unit for AbbasiShahidHospital. Meanwhile, the MQM’s coordination committee also condemned the killing saying the party was being targeted for raising voice against increasing Talibanisation in the country.
