Sindh Information Minister Saeed Ghani has demanded the police baton-charge and use of tear gas shells to disperse the protestors of Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) from outside the Chief Minister (CM) House.
Saeed Ghani said that PPP has never supported action against peaceful protest. He said that MQM-P has suddenly changed the route of its protest rally and stormed CM House.
He said that Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) is also holding a sit-in outside the Sindh Assembly but no action was taken.
The provincial minister said that MQM-P leaders have been told to end protests outside CM House and divert their workers back to the actual venue of the protest at Karachi Press Club (KPC).
“Taking action [against MQM-P protestors] was a compulsion and I apologise if someone gets injured [in the police action]. Players are currently residing in the adjacent hotels to the CM House for Pakistan Super League (PSL).”
