In Karachi, leaders of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) have accused the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) of attacking the PPP's Public Relations (PR) office in North Nazimabad, alleging an attempt to influence the upcoming central district election.
During a press conference, PPP leaders Khawaja Sohail Mansoor, Masroor Ahsan, former MPA Wasim Qureshi, and Asad Hanif expressed their concerns about the incident. Mansoor claimed that MQM-P is in a state of panic due to the perceived success of PPP in the central district. He asserted that MQM-P operates through PSP (Pak Sarzameen Party) and proposed a dialogue to potentially withdraw the FIR if the attacking party's leaders engage in talks.
Mansoor expressed confidence in law enforcement agencies and emphasized the democratic right of every citizen to choose a political party. Waseem Qureshi urged political workers to focus on common issues rather than being swayed by leaders, emphasizing that the upcoming election is a campaign, not a tribal war.
The Hyderi Market police registered an FIR for the attack on the PPP's PR office in North Nazimabad. The FIR names around 40 to 50 individuals, including MQM-P officials and workers Junaid Sheikh, Rizwan, Asad, Mahmood, and Awais, as suspects.
According to the FIR, on Saturday night around 9 pm, 40 to 50 people attacked the PPP's public relations office. Party flags and pictures were torn down, and individuals present in the office were beaten and forcibly ejected.
