One killed, eight injured in firing at Lyari protest rally - DAWN.COM


According to rescue sources, unidentified men opened fire at the protest rally of the Kutchi Rabita Committee (KRC) at Mauripur Road. The KRC was protesting against the murder of a local, Shakil Hungoro, who was allegedly killed by Rangers in an encounter in Agra Taj Colony.

The body and the injured were taken to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre and Civil Hospital.

KRC spokesman, Saleh Kutchi, blamed the banned Peoples Aman Committee, police and Rangers for firing at the funeral. The police and Rangers, however, denied the claim.

SSP South Tariq Dharejo said unidentified miscreants also opened fire at his armored vehicle when he was trying to approach the protestors for a dialogue.

The police fired stray bullets and sprayed water from water cannon in order to disperse the protestors. The protestors retaliated and pelted stones at police and Rangers officials.

Later, the police succeeded in clearing the road for traffic.

When contacted, the PPP provincial lawmaker from Lyari, Sania Naz rejected the KRC spokesman’s claim and said that ‘a third force’ was involved in disrupting peace in the city.

Sit-in outside CM House

Meanwhile, members of the KRC staged a sit-in outside the Chief Minister House in Karachi against the alleged extra-judicial killing of Shakil Hungoro by Rangers.

The four-member KRC delegation that includes Mohammad Siddiq Kutchi, Anwar Shah Kutchi and others met provincial Information Minister Sharjil Memon, Senator Saeed Ghani, PPP leader Rashid Hussain Rabbani and DIG South Dr Ameer Sheikh and informed them regarding the current tense situation and killing of innocent people in parts of Lyari.

Speaking to delegation, the information minister said that it is the priority of the government to maintain law and order in the city including Lyari. Miscreants will be eliminated from every part of the city in order to restore peace, he asserted.

The provincial minister assured the KRC delegation that the check-posts of police and Rangers will be established in Lyari from Saturday night and those responsible for creating law and order situation will be arrested.

KRC leaders later called off the sit-in after getting assurances from provincial lawmakers and officials of taking stern action against miscreants responsible for violence in the old city area.

Rumours trigger violence in Lyari
Rumours trigger violence in Lyari - DAWN.COM
Peace talks’ to continue

KARACHI: A renewed wave of violence in old city areas intensified on Thursday when half a dozen persons, including a woman and a boy, were wounded in gun and cracker attacks only a few hours after two groups had agreed to call a truce, police said.

The exchange of fire that the police said was triggered by early morning rumours about kidnapping and killing provoked residents to take to the streets. They staged hours-long protest on Mauripur Road, where two trailers were set on fire.

Subsequently, the law-enforcement agencies launched an operation in Lyari during which a deputy superintendent of police, Shakeel Ahmed, sustained injuries on his face. The police, however, said they managed to demolish bunkers built by criminals in the area.

“Police, the Rangers and the district administration had earlier held talks with legislators from Lyari that continued till late Wednesday night,” said DIG south Dr Ameer Sheikh.

As a result of the talks, a meeting of Kutchhis and Baloch representatives was arranged with the result that settlement was reached. In a subsequent move, announcements for ‘truce’ were made from mosques at 3am, the officer said.

However, he added, it proved short-lived as some miscreants at around 5am spread rumours that ‘eight Kutchhis’ had been kidnapped. While it transpired shortly afterwards that these rumours were baseless, another rumour was later spread that a Kutchhi community member had been ‘kidnapped and killed’.

The rumours triggered an exchange of fire from the two sides leaving some passers-by wounded.

“We received four injured persons including a woman and a boy who had been brought from the Kalri and Chakiwara areas of Lyari,” said medico-legal officer at the Civil Hospital Karachi Dr Karrar Abbasi. He said their condition was out of danger. The wounded were identified as Sakina Razzak, 28, Nero Khan, 14, Farhad Fazal, 25, and Ghulam Hussain Siddiqi, 61.

Following the firing incidents, a number of people took to the streets and staged a protest demonstration on Mauripur Road that turned violent when two trailers were set on fire, according to the police and fire brigade official.

Contingents of police and the Rangers rushed to the spot and managed to disperse the mob after five hours of clashes with the protesters, according to an official at the Kalri police station.

The police authorities took notice of the violence and suspended the official in charge of Kalri police station, Mohammad Wazir, said the DIG south.

“We have decided to invoke the anti-terrorism act against the persons who torched the trailers and resorted to violence in a bid to ban the protest on the artery forever,” said Dr Sheikh.

The police and the Rangers then entered Hingorabad, particularly its streets 9-10, and other localities where an intermittent exchange of fire between the two groups had been going on for the past three days. They destroyed a number of the bunkers, the senior officer said.

The violence was followed by a ‘truce’ between the Kutchhi Rabita Committee and banned Peoples Amn Committee.

‘Multi-pronged strategy’

A purported multi-pronged strategy containing negotiations and use of force has been chalked out to restore a ‘lasting peace’ to the old city areas.

In reply to a question about the outcome of the talks with three legislators of Lyari namely Senator Yusuf Baloch, MPAs Javed Nagori and Sania Naz and PPP Karachi division president Abdul Qadir Patel on Wednesday night, the senior police officer said that it was decided that ‘a complaint cell’ would be set up at Peoples Football Stadium to entertain complaints of businessmen and others about extortion and kidnappings against ‘Lyari elements’.

The Baloch representatives in the meeting argued that complaints of extortion and kidnapping for ransom were ‘exaggerated and manipulated’.

It was also agreed that as a next step, the Baloch representatives would hold talks with the business community to address their concerns about extortion.

“We have also decided to engage the Muttahida Qaumi Movement in talks as we consider them a third stakeholder apart from the Baloch and the Kutchhi communities,” the DIG said.

He said a contact had been made with the MQM leaders and a meeting with them was expected on Friday (today).

He said they had decided to hold talks with the MQM as they had complaints that their activists could not move in the Baloch-dominated areas while the Baloch said their community members were unable to travel in the MQM-dominated areas.

Dr Sheikh said that law-enforcement officials would meet the MQM leaders and subsequently, there was a plan to arrange a meeting between the MQM and the Baloch representatives.

Meanwhile, as guns fell silent late Thursday night, the body of a young man was found in Chakiwara.

The police said that the body bearing three gunshot wounds and torture marks was spotted near Shaheen School in Bihar Colony. The corpse was shifted to the Civil Hospital Karachi for a post-mortem examination, the police said, adding that the victim’s identity could not be ascertained immediately.

Federal Govt should only intervene when the provincial govt specifically requests it. Federation will be accused of interfering into provincial matters if it goes there without invitation.

Federal govt sey rupee ki value to sanmbhali nahi jaarahi, pehlay 2 maheenay mey 97 se 101 per pohancha diya, is rate per chalta raha tou 5 saal mein 250-300 per pohanch jaye ga.

Federal govt currently seems like totally failing on economy & security issues. The devaluation of Rupee is alarming indeed, govt need to cut on their lavishes & unneccessary imports & instead govt should atleast force PML-Ners to bring back the (looted) money stocked in foriegn banks. As of now govt is only solving & setting its scores with its rivals i.e Musharraf/PPP/MQM, seems like people elected(??) them for these issues.

lol... I don't know why you guyz use lies to cover up them. Dollar reach 100 Rs, when PPP was governing. and came down only because this new government. Also they already cut most of the lavishes which were in use of PPP and MQM use. I don't know what proofs you have about PML n sending money out of the country.. Please share with us, otherwise I will call you "A Liar". What I see, they don't have much time to play with other.. on daily basis they are up with someone somewhere trying to solve energy crisis, which was worsen by PPP, MQM and ANP government. And created by Musharaf..

right, so they will only target mohajir and sindhi, i think punjabis dont live in karachi and LeJ/TTP dont even exist

Read my post again.. I never said Only they are targeted, but PPP and MQM uses these cards.

You have no idea of Karachi situation , Federal government must not intervene as this whole conflict is backed by political Mafia of two stake holders of Sindh. Neither they could do more about it cuz any forceful Operation other then Islamist have been never appreciated by Media and establishment. I would prefer , Let them kill each other in the name of ethnic and political background as these peoples are highly motivated by their leaders and No one can do much about them . Again its Between 2 so called secular Political Ideologies.

Agree they might get bad name for that, but again if they will not do anything, it will again give bad impression on federal government. It's a dual sword. Also, Have you seen Karachi Stock Exchange, Importer run away? This is unfortunately hitting whole Pakistan economy wise.

No , I understand that Overseas Pakistanis never kept in Acknowledged with the ground situation as Media have been so much politicized ,We still cannot do much to protect our economy as the whole focus have been diverted towards the Waziristan and Talibanization .But its fact that most of killings , kidnappings have been done by local Mafias . This conflict have lot to do with Na-239 and Unfortunately ethnic Katchis have miscalculated the situation badly and became a sacrificing goat for all such Mafias.
