Naseem in a press conference after the scuffle between JI and MQM workers claimed that MQM does not want political activities in the constituency.
The JI leader maintained that only three to four police personnel were deployed for their security who ran away as soon as the rally was attacked.
JI Karachi President Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman said that the administration was only concerned about the security of MQM workers adding that he has sympathies with the police as they are being instructed from Governor House to serve MQM.
Naeem claimed that JI has endured MQM tyranny for 30 years.
“We are not to be threatened by such attacks, JI will hold a rally in the constituency today and a public meeting tomorrow where the party chief Siraj-ul-Haq will speak”, said Naeem.

According to party sources, JI will organize a big gathering of party workers and supporters on April 12 in the constituency. The by-polls on the National Assembly seat will be held on April 23.
