Nisar warns Sindh govt against making Karachi op controversial
ISLAMABAD: Warning the Sindh government against making the Karachi operation controversial for sake of saving one man (Dr Asim Hussain), Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has stated that Rangers are being ridiculed by 'opponents of peace' who want it to leave Karachi.
Addressing a press conference here Saturday, Nisar Ali Khan said, DG Rangers was also being hit. “Opponents of peace want Rangers to leave Karachi so that the port city is left on the mercy of these people again,” he said.
The Interior Minister said, “The paramilitary force is present in Karachi under Anti-Terrorist Act of the Federal Government.” He urged the Sindh government not to make the paramilitary force ‘controversial’.
He went on to say that the federal government will not leave the security institution helpless when it is under attack.
Rangers was not working for Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz or any other party in Sindh, he said and added, “Karachi operation should not suffer against personal interest.”
The statement comes the same day when Sindh’s Information Advisor Maula Bakhsh Chandio criticized the interior minister for issuing 'anti-Sindh government statements'.
Chandio had warned Chaudhry Nisar for issuing reckless statements.
“Chief Minister (Qaim Ali Shah) did not say that he was against Rangers...Interior Minister should mind his own business,” he remarked.
The information advisor had also said that Rangers were called in by the Sindh government, which he added did not want to create any hindrance in the Karachi operation’s way.
He added that Rangers had arrived constitutionally and should continue its activities with the assistance of police constitutionally also.
