Sindh Minister for Information Saeed Ghani said on Friday that an isolated incident in Hyderabad in which a youth was killed was being used to create ethnic conflict in Sindh and the rest of the country.

In a press conference, he said that Sindh had suffered immensely from terrorism and the province could not afford any further unrest.

“Sindh is the land of peace and we should make collective efforts to make this conspiracy a failure,” he said. “The miscreants are enemies of this nation.”

“We will not spare the miscreants. We want peace and justice and this is a sensitive matter,” he said, while appreciating leaders of nationalist political parties for acting maturely and containing the conflict.

“It is our responsibility to end chaos,” he said.
