MQM MPA Shot Dead

KARACHI, Aug 2, 2010 (AFP) - A Pakistani lawmaker was killed in a drive-by shooting Monday in downtown Karachi, where political and ethnic assassinations have fanned increasing tensions, officials said.

Raza Haider, 35, from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, a partner in the Sindh provincial ruling coalition led by the Pakistan Peoples Party, was targeted by gunmen on two motorcycles in North Nazimabad neighbourhood.

"He had gone to attend a relative's funeral. Drive-by shooters attacked him near a mosque, injuring him and his guard seriously," police official Waqar Mallan told AFP.

"He died on his way to hospital. It is a targeted killing."

Jameel Soomro, spokesman for the Sindh provincial government, said the killing of a coalition MP was a part of a broader "conspiracy".

"The country is in the grip of natural calamities and we are fighting against terrorists. At this moment, conspirators want to destabilise Karachi, which is the financial engine of Pakistan," he said.

He did not elaborate, but accused the conspirators of trying to further ethnic tensions and trigger political violence in Karachi.

Provincial authorities have already banned public political meetings in Karachi in an effort to control intermittent waves of targeting killings.

The government has not released exact figures, but security officials say more than 125 people have died since the beginning of this year.

MQM MPA Raza Haider shot dead in Karachi​

KARACHI: Member of the Sindh Assembly belonging to Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Raza Haider, was gunned down along with his guard and a party’s activist in Karachi on Monday.

According to reports, two unidentified gunmen opened indiscriminate fire at Raza Haider when he was preparing to attend a funeral prayer at Jamia Masjid of Nazimabad Block-2.

He was rushed to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where he died of wounds.

In addition, Haider’s gunman Tariq Khan and a 16-year-old party’s activist were also killed in the armed attack.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik condemned the incident, urging the MQM leadership and people of Karachi to maintain calm.

He termed the targeted killing of MQM leader a new formula to destabilize the country.

He said that Sipah Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) could also be involved in the killing because the deceased was receiving threats from the banned sectarian outfit.

Speaking to SAMAA on phone, MQM leader Waseem Aftab has alleged that ANP Sindh President Shahi Syed is involved in the armed attack on Raza Haider.

Karachi CCPO Waseem Ahmed has said that a high-level team has been constituted to investigate Haider’s killing.

Fcuk you ANP .

 

[Khalji]

Well why fcuk ANP friend?

 

[Khalji]

There is no credible proof to suggest that this incident was carried out by any pushtoon or for the matter an ANP activist. This is just purely a blame game to discredit and illrepute the ANP and pushtoon community who have been victims of much savage and racially motivated attacks in karachi. This is just a smear campaign to discredit ANP who have maded much successes in the political system of karachi.
