Quote:The strike that marked the first day of the New Year was called by the Sunni Rehbar Council as a ââ¬Ëgesture of mourningââ¬â¢ and to condemn the violence that followed the blast.
The strike was largely supported by associations of transporters and traders.
Various political parties also backed the strike call. A late-night announcement by the management of the Karachi Stock Exchange and commercial banks to support the strike call by keeping their businesses closed further influenced people to stay indoors.
