KARACHI: The Karachi Ulema Committee (KLC) held protests in several areas of Karachi on Friday to protest the murder of prominent cleric and Jamia Farooqia head Maulana Dr Mohammed Adil Khan. Maulana Adil, the son of late prominent scholar Maulana Saleemullah Khan, who founded the Jamia Farooqia, was shot dead along with his driver in a suspected targeted attack in the city last week. Leader of the banned Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat, Maulana Aurangzeb Farooqi, while speaking at a press conference on Thursday, said that a peaceful protest was KUC’s right. He warned that if the killers were not arrested, they would be compelled to exercise other options. Flanked by other KUC members, including Qari Allah Dad, Maulana Hamad Madani, Maulana Taj Hanafi, and Maulana Rab Nawaz Hanafi, he said that the murder of Maulana Adil and the authorities’ inability to arrest his killers had put a question mark over the performance of the government.
