Shia parties and leaders have condemned the targeted assassination of another Shia notable in Karachi. They said that the inaction by the PPP’s government was the root cause of unabated murders of innocent people in Karachi.

They urged the government to call in the army to begin an operation to liquidate the terrorists.
