MQM announced day of martyrs today but Para military Rangers, Police and law enforcement agencies cordoned of the area of Azizabad with heavy contingent, all roads and streets were sealed. More over security forces also sealed the martyrs’ graveyard of Yasinabad, Azizabad.

MQM’s convener Tariq Jawaid strongly condemns the state actions for not allowing observing Martyrs Day.

He appealed to the UN and human rights organisation to take notice of these human rights violations in Karachi.
