Earlier in the day, Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah has also ordered an inquiry into the incidents outside CM House on Wednesday and directed commissioner Karachi to submit a detailed report into the matter.
The chief minister telephoned Minister for Information Technology Amin ul Haque and expressed grief over incidents outside the CM House a day before.
“Such incidents should not happen,” the chief minister said while speaking to MQM-P leader during a telephone call and said that political differences should be sorted out through talks and in a political manner.
The two leaders condemned ethnic-based remarks with Amin ul Haque also raising the issue of MQM-P activist’s killing in Tando Allahyar outside a court.
The chief minister also telephoned MQM-P MPA Sadaqat Hussain who sustained injuries during Wednesday’s protest outside CM House after being baton-charged by police.
The chief minister inquired after his health and prayed for his early recovery.
