The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Sunday night withdrew its call for strike given for Monday following what it termed an assurance from Director-General Rangers, Sindh, Major General Bilal Akbar of apprehending the murderers of the party worker Mohammed Hashim.
The decision to retract on the call for strike was made at an emergency meeting of MQM Rabita Committees in London and Karachi endorsed later by the party chief Altaf Hussain.
The MQM had termed as extra-judicial the killing of its worker Hashim adding that he was arrested and shifted to an undisclosed location on May 6 when he was traveling to his residence from MQM Headquarters.
Hashim's body was recovered from Jamshoro on Sunday night.
The shutter-down call for Karachi and other cities was the first in past many months amid widely-held view that the MQM's ability to force such closures had diminished substantially in the wake of series of raids and arrests of its activists by Rangers and police on charges of target killing, extortions and kidnapping for ransom.
Earlier, a Sindh Rangers spokesman in a statement said while any citizen's murder is a condemnable act, no one will be allowed to paralyse everyday life of the metropolis.
He said holding a strike without any investigation is tantamount to affecting the civic life.
