MQM Announces Three Days of Mourning



London, 5th February 2010



The MQM leader Mr. Altaf Hussain has strongly condemned the suicidal attack on the bus near FTC at Sharah-e-Faisal and at the gate of Jinnah Hospital, Karachi.



Mr. Hussain expressed deep sadness on the martyrdom of MQM workers including UC Nazim Mohammed Khalil and the mourners participating in the procession of Chahlum of Hazrat Imam Hussain.



The second suicidal bomb blast which took place at the gate of Jinnah Hospital caused the deaths of more than dozen people including seven MQM workers and injuring many more, who had come to the Jinnah Hospital in large numbers, on the appeal of MQM leader Mr. Altaf Hussain, to donate blood for the victims of the first suicidal bomb blast at Shahrey Faisal.



He termed the two blasts as an act of naked terrorism and declared three days of mourning in the city for those who lost their lives.



Mr Hussain demanded the President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani to take notice of both suicidal attacks and provide security to the lives and properties of the innocent people.



He denounced the terrorists as inhuman let alone Muslims. He appealed to the public to remain calm and vigilant. They should inform the police about any suspicious object or person in their mists. He conveyed his whole hearted condolences to the families of the deceased and prayed for the early recovery of the injured.
