KARACHI: Chief of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jama’at and a member of the Ulema Committee Maulana Aurangzeb Farooqi has informed that the nation-wide strike will surely be observed tomorrow (October 16).
“We have been assured of support by scholars of all schools of thought, transporters, trade unions, and educational institutions,” he said while addressing a press conference in Karachi.
Maulana Aurangzeb further said that rumors were being spread that Ulema Committee had canceled the strike after meeting Additional IG Ghulam Nabi Memon. ‘It isn’t true. It is our democratic right to protest,” he remarked.
The leader of the Ulema Committee also expressed reservations over the investigation of the attack on Maulana Adil, saying that said the government has failed to arrest the killers of the religious cleric.
Meanwhile, Sindh Traders Alliance President Jameel Paracha has announced that they will keep businesses shut across the province to support the Ulema Committee’s strike.
