PPP MPA gunned down in city

By Our Staff Reporter

KARACHI, March 6: A member of the Sindh Assembly belonging to Pakistan People’s Party, Abdullah Murad Baloch, was shot dead along with his driver, Hanif Baloch, by unknown assailants in the Al-Falah Society area of Malir on Saturday morning.

The killing of the MPA triggered violence in parts of Malir and Al-Falah Society, which resulted in the suspension of traffic on Sharea Faisal - from Star Gate to Quaidabad in Landhi.

Protesters also blocked the rail track, delaying train traffic on the main railway line.

DIG Karachi Operations Tariq Jamil described the murder as target killing.

“It appears to be a target killing, as no one has claimed responsibility so far.”

Mr Jamil said that investigations had been initiated to apprehend the killers.

Mr Baloch, who was elected from PS-127 Malir, played an important role in getting an FIR registered in the murder case of two minor girls - Hajra and Sassi - in Gadap Town.

The area where the girls’ bodies were found falls in his constituency.

The parents of the girls had approached Mr Baloch following the discovery of their bodies on the premises of a veterinary hospital which was in use of Gadap police.

** Mr Abdullah Murad Baloch was killed a day after the police obtained a remand of three police officials in the murder case of the minor girls. **

Re: Political violence returning to Karachi?

Allah inko and donoo bachoo ko Jannah me jagaaa dee.

Did MQM use to win this seat before.I am talking about his constituency.
So either It is Police violence or MQM.
Doosra hunnaa tu mushkil hee.

Lekn I salute the legislator ke he brought up this issue.

No, MQM traditionally has never won any seats from baloch areas. It's PPP stronghold, but after betrayal of balochs by PPP, MQM has gained some ground recently, but still PPP has strong hold over baloch areas of karachi.

OFF TOPIC:
I think peace will return, If Prov Govt comes under JI,PPP or
Muslim League, Quami Parties not Bhaeee party.

take care

Hum disturbed hee, is saree waqeyee see.
In Ghareeb bachoo ko kaun insaaf degaaa.
Itna Zulm.
When a similar episode happened in Junejo Sahab's time, the
culprit was put behind bars and dealt with according to Law.
But this is too much. Law maker ko hee mardiaa.
