Police along with paramilitary forces crackdown on party workers in Karachi, HyderabadKARACHI/HYDERABAD: The paramilitary forces and the police on Saturday intercepted and prevented activists of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-London (MQM-L) from visiting key graveyards in Karachi and Hyderabad to honour the late party workers. MQM-L’s leaders had urged their workers to visit the graveyard in Karachi’s Azizabad area. However, a large number of the law enforcement personnel had been deployed at roads leading to the graveyard to thwart the attempt. The police had already padlocked the graveyard to prevent activists from visiting the graves of party workers. Reportedly, the MQM-Pakistan hosted prayers ceremony in Latifabad to pay tribute to those party workers who were killed over the years in Karachi, Hyderabad, and other areas of the province.
