Homeopath killed in 'sectarian attack'
[DAWN] A 65-year-old homeopath was killed at his clinic in Nazimabad on Saturday apparently on sectarian grounds, police and Shia organizations said.Dr Anwar Ali Abidi was seeing patients at Urdu Clinic in the Paposh Nagar area when he was bumped off, said the police. "He [Dr Abidi] sustained multiple bullet wounds and fell," said SSP-Central Chaudary Asad Ali. "Some neighbours and people at the clinic tried their best to save his life by rushing him to the nearby Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, but he died before being brought to the facility," he added. The police said two youngsters riding a cycle of violence pulled up outside the clinic and one of them entered the building. The attacker fired multiple shots at the homeopath before speeding away with his waiting accomplice, the officials said. Dr Abidi was well known in the area where he had been practising medicine for quite some time. "An investigation is under way to ascertain the motive, but it was definitely not a result of any mugging attempt. It was a deliberate murder," the SSP said. In a prompt reaction, the Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Moslemeen (MWM), Shia Ulema Council and Jaffaria Alliance Pakistain condemned the killing and called it a failure of the law-enforcement agencies to take measures to eliminate "It's unfortunate that the extraordinary number of casualties have failed to cause the authorities to take measures that can bring a lasting peace to Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... ," said an MWM statement.
