He thanked the people for offering recitations of the Holy Quran and prayers for the MQM martyrs. <br />Mr Hussain demanded the authorities to hold a judicial inquiry into the extra-judicial killing of Salman Nooruddin and other innocent workers of the MQM. He said that the officials of police and law-enforcing agencies under whose instructions the MQM workers have been killed in a brutal manner should be brought to book according to the law. He said that injustices and oppression must end. <br />Mr Hussain said he wanted to bring it to public knowledge with great sorrow that he had personally telephoned Chief Minister Sindh, the DG Rangers Sindh and other high-ranking officials to inform them about the details of the tragic killing of Salman Nooruddin but no one cared to respond. He said that if the officials of the law-enforcing agencies and other government functionaries who were accountable to public continued to neglect their duties, then the future of Pakistan can be well-imagined. <br />Mr Hussain thanked business community, transporters, petrol pump and CNG station owners and other people belonging to various walks of life for voluntarily suspending their activities on the extra-judicial killing of Salman and other workers of the MQM. He praised them for registering their strong protest in a peaceful manner.
