President of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Sindh chapter and Parliamentary Leader in Sindh Assembly, Haleem Adil Sheikh on Sunday alleged that workers of his party were being targeted in Karachi to disturb the peace of metropolis.

Addressing a press conference at the Insaf House, flanked by PTI Sindh general secretary Mahfooz Ursani, information secretary MPA Jamal Siddiqui and Arslan Mirza, he strongly condemned the murder of PTI worker Asif Haroon. He said the culprits involved in his murder should be taken to the task.

He said in Sindh province, those talking about upholding of truth are being targeted. "We do not want the old Karachi that was infested with target killings." He said MQM-London is still active and demanded the DG Rangers to take stern action in Karachi and make the megacity free from crime. He said previously criminal elements tried to kidnap a coordinator of Opposition Leader in Sindh Assembly Firdous Shamim Naqvi.

Haleem Adil alleged that PPP govt in Sindh has failed to maintain peace. A female student Misbah was murdered last week. Law and order is worsening not only in Karachi but also in whole Sindh. He asked the police to reject political pressure and work independently.

Criticising the PPP, he alleged that Sindh govt has given the province a gift of AIDS, children died in Thar due to diseases and malnutrition and anti-rabies vaccine was made non-available in government hospitals. He said Bilawal should know that it is the federal government who is providing treatment facilities to poor patients of Sindh province. PPP is trying to create new political stunts to hide its failure.
