MQM meetings go underway as deadline expires

KARACHI: The Coordination Committee of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Karachi and London will be chalking out a strategy in today's meetings following the expiry of deadline given by the party to the government for the arrest of Abbas Town attackers.

MQM Chief Altaf Hussain had set a three-day deadline for the government to arrest the culprits behind Abbas Town carnage. The deadline expired today but the terrorists could not be taken into custody nor did the government undertake any action to assuage the anguish of the victims.

The Coordination Committee of MQM is all set to formulate a strategy in connection with its deadline in its meetings in Karachi and London today.

It may be mentioned here that a high-intensity bomb explosion at Abbas Town on Sunday killed 48 people including women and children and injured more than 140 others.
