Karachi, May 19: Zahra Shahid Hussain, vice-president of Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf's Sindh chapter was killed late on Saturday night during an attempted robbery incident on the eve of re-polls in Karachi's much debated NA-250 constituency.
According to police, robbers tried to steal Hussain's hand bag and opened gun fire upon resistance by the PTI leader outside her residence in Defence Housing Authority Phase-4.
PTI chief Imran Khan and spokesperson Shireen Mazari have condemned the brutal killing of their party leader and demanded swift arrest of the culprits.
Mazari described the incident as terrorism and failure on part of the provincial government.
Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has also condemned the killing. However, Imran Khan, in the latest development, has blamed Altaf Hussain for Zahra's killing in Karachi.
