KARACHI: Small groups of MQM activists held placards at a dozen strategic locations all over Karachi to protest against media blackout of their leader Altaf Hussain.

This reaction came after Sindh Assembly refused to give control of KWSB to the Mayor.

Earlier leader of opposition in Sindh Assembly Khawaja Izhar-ul-Haq while talking to the students of Media Studies, Jinnah University for Women, said that without resources no advancement could be made. He said it was like having a lavish kitchen with no groceries to cook food with.
