KARACHI: Pakistan International Airline (PIA) employees continue to protest against airline’s privatisation, as flight operation badly affected.
At least two people were killed and at least three others injured on Tuesday after law enforcement personnel allegedly opened fire at employees of the PIA protesting near the Jinnah International airport in Karachi against privatisation of the national flag carrier.
Five people, including the cameraman of a local TV channel and four PIA workers, were earlier reported to have been injured in the clash between protesting PIA workers and law enforcement personnel.
But officials at a private hospital later confirmed that one injured person brought to the hospital died during treatment, while another body was brought for autopsy. One of the deceased was identified as Anayat Raza.
