Karachi: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah on Thursday regretted the Supreme Court’s verdict over Abbas Town bombing that killed 50 people in Pakistan’s largest city Karachi.
Though I respect all the courts, I’m not pleased with SC orders regarding the blast as they were issued without hearing the versions of the Sindh government and the inspector general of police,” he said in a speech at the floor of the Sindh Assembly.
Claiming that IGP Sindh reached the blast site within 40 minutes, Shah criticised media reports that all senior officials of the provincial government and the entire city’s police were present at the engagement ceremony of Sharmila Farooqui.
“Only 200 special force crew were present at the ceremony,” he said.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court of Pakistan in its suo motu hearing over the Abbas Town bombing held Sindh government responsible for the incident and ordered to suspend senior officials of the police.
Shah said that nobody resigned after 9/11 attacks in the United States where around 5,000 people were killed.
The Supreme Court will resume the hearing of the case tomorrow.
