Disgraceful behaviour, but it also shows how the PPP is scared of challenges in it’s home territory.

I thought PPP workers were supposed to be mature and sane? Why are they acting like so-called MQM supporters? Absolutely shameful behavior.

What it shows is that power hungry parties, be it the PPP or MQM will use violence to keep their opponents silent. The PPP has been involved in deadly clashes with ANP people in NWFP and now with parties in Sindh as well, which is a sign of how hungry they are for power, after so many years out of govt.
