KARACHI: Banners with threatening slogans have once again appeared in the city on Wednesday. This is the second time this week such banners were seen in the city while banners of Mustafa Kamal were torn apart in Gulshan-e-Johar area of the mega city.

After banners seen on Tuesday threatening those who left Altaf Hussain in the lurch, rival banners with the slogan ‘Jo mulk Ka Ghaddar Hay, Wo Mout Ka Haqdar Hai’ (traitors of the country deserve death) appeared in several areas including Shahrah-e-Faisal the main artery of the city on Wednesday.

MQM leader Farooq Sattar said banners were being placed by unknown persons and political parties had to be empowered for peace in Karachi.

On September 5, a banner which read ‘Jo Quaid-e-Tehreek Ka Ghaddar Hay, Wo Mout Ka Haqdar Hay’ (traitors of the movement’s founder deserve death) were seen hanging on a fence outside the Sindh High Court. The banner was removed after news flashed on local television channels.

On the same day, banners were also seen in the nearby Saddar commercial area. The banners in Saddar’s Regal Chowk area carried slogans against Farooq Sattar and the MQM Pakistan Rabita Committee. It was unclear as to who was behind the banners.

Some unidentified persons tore apart the posters of former Karachi Nazim Mustafa Kamal in Karachi on Wednesday. The banners and posters were put up in Gulistan-e-Johar area last night.—INP
