Altaf thanks traders, transporters for observing day of mourning
LODON: Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain has paid tribute to the people of Pakistan, particularly the people of Sindh, for observing a day of mourning over the alleged extra-judicial killing of MQM worker Salman Nooruddin.
In a statement issued here Saturday, Altaf demanded authorities to hold a judicial inquiry into the extra-judicial killing of Salman Nooruddin and other workers of the MQM.
The MQM supremo claimed that he had personally telephoned Chief Minister Sindh, the DG Rangers Sindh and other high-ranking officials to inform them about the details of the tragic killing of Salman Nooruddin but no one cared to respond.
He said that if the officials of law-enforcing agencies and other government functionaries who were accountable to public continued to neglect their duties then the future of Pakistan can be well-imagined.
Altaf thanked business community, transporters, petrol pump and CNG station owners and other people belonging to various walks of life for 'voluntarily' suspending their activities on the extra-judicial killing of Salman and other workers of the MQM. He praised them for, what he said, registering their strong protest in a peaceful manner.
