Addressing a news conference, MQM Rabta Committee member Raza Haroon said the rally will march from the Karachi Press Club to the CM House.He said the MQM will stage a peaceful protest on the floor of the National Assembly and the Senate, while a session of the Sindh Assembly will also be requisitioned.Raza Haroon expressed grave concern on the rising incidents of firing and the loss of innocent lives in the city. He alleged the Rangers and the police had been acting as silent spectators under instructions from the government.He dispelled the impression that two armed gangs were exchanging fire. “There is only one gang who has political backing. It is that gang which is attacking houses of innocent people as well as transport,” he said.He threatened that the MQM will explore all “democratic options” if the situation in Kasba Colony, Orangi Town and Gulfamabad was not improved.
