LONDON: 7^TH OCTOBER 2010

MQM Founder and Leader Altaf Hussain has condemned the suicide attack on the shrine of famous Sufi saint Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi and expressed deep sorrow at the martyrdom and injuries of several people. He said that sometimes back the shrine of Hazrat Data Ganj Baksh in Lahore was made a target of suicide attack and today the shrine of Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi in Karachi had been a target of terrorism and the visiting devotees were washed in blood. He said that his heart wept at this gory attack. While condemning the attack in the strongest possible terms, Mr. Hussain said that those who have perpetrated this were enemies not only of Islam and Pakistan but also of humanity. He said that the attackers are bent upon destroying Pakistan and were not even sparing barbaric attacks on the shrines of holy saints. Mr. Hussain condoled with the family of those who had lost their lives and expressed his sympathy. He said that he and all the workers of MQM shared their grief. He prayed for the early recovery of the injured and demanded the authorities to provide security at the shrines of saints and asked for utilizing all possible means to check the incidents of terrorism.
