The ‘Na-Maloom Afraad’ [unidentified men] seem to have become active in Karachi once again after the emergence of banners inscribed with the slogan, ‘Jo Quaid ka ghaddar hai, maut ka haqdaar hai’ [The traitor of the Quaid deserves death], outside the Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday.

The banners have surfaced when the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leadership in Pakistan has disassociated itself with the party’s founder. Police swung into action after television channels aired the news about the banners.
“The banners were put along the grill of the SHC’s park and Regal Chowk,” confirmed South SSP Saqib Ismail Memon. He said three suspects sitting in a car parked near the banners were taken into custody.

Memon said the police are investigating and trying to trace the suspects behind the move. The banners, apparently signed by ‘lovers’ of Altaf, were later taken down by the police.
