Karachi Three days since the country was brutally robbed off an esteemed human rights’ activist and art advocate Sabeen Mahmud – director of The Second Floor (T2F) – who was shot dead in DHA, Phase II, condemnations from political as well as religious circles continue to pour in. Pakistan People’s Party parliamentary leader in Senate Saeed Ghani, PPP General Secretary Karachi Najmi Alam and members of the media cell Habibuddin Junaidi, Abdul Lateef Mughal, Manzoor Abbas and Zulfiquar Qaimkhani, vehemently condemned the brutal murder of human rights activist and Director T2F Sabeen Mahmud. The joint statement issued by the party maintained that terrorists were targeting human rights activists for their vested designs. Warning the terrorists to stop killing human rights activists and innocent civil society members, the statement added that the terrorists would not be able to fulfil their agendas. They demanded of the law enforcement agencies to ensure speedy arrest of target killers and provide security to human rights workers. They expressed solidarity with the aggrieved family.
MQM Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain while addressing party workers on Sunday condemned the murder of renowned activist Sabeen Mahmud. “Her only crime was that she raised her voice against the oppressed people,” he said while demanding the immediate arrest of her killers.
MWM Majlis Wahdatul Muslimeen (MWM) provincial secretary Allama Mukhtar Imami strongly condemned the murder of humans’ rights activist Sabeen Mahmud on Friday. Demanding the arrest of the killers, he said that a mere committee would not serve the purpose.
