27 killed in Karachi violence
ISLAMABAD: At least 27 people were killed and over 60 injured in various incidents of violence that broke out on Saturday night, hours ahead of the by-poll being held on Sunday for an assembly seat in Karachi, capital of Pakistan's Sindh province.
Most of the killings are believed to be the result of political enmity between the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and the Awami National Party (ANP).
ANP Sindh chief Shahi Syed addressed a press conference Saturday evening and announced the party would "boycott the polls in protest". "The provincial government has failed to control the law and order and we don't think it is advisable to go to polls in such an environment," he argued.
