KARACHI: As protest sit-ins by the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) across Karachi over deadly tensions in Parachinar entered the sixth day on Sunday, the Sindh government appealed to religious scholars to help end the demonstrations.
“[A] jirga has decided on the Kurram issue [...] now the protest sit-ins in Karachi should end,” Sadia Javed, a spokesperson for the Sindh government, said in a televised statement issued in evening.
In today’s statement, the Sindh government spokesperson urged the protesting party to “realise the sufferings of Karachi citizens” as they are facing deep troubles due the road closures.
She pointed out that life in Karachi had been paralysed due to protests, adding that even ambulances had been facing trouble in reaching certain areas.
“If you [protesters] want to continue the sit-ins, move it to a ground or outside the press club,” she added.
