Killings in Karachi will restart if Rangers withdrawn: Imran
LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan said on Friday that the terrorists will again start killing innocent people in Karachi once the Rangers are called back from the metropolis. Speaking to media in Lahore, Imran Khan said that a number of policemen were killed after the 1992 operation in Karachi, leaving the police unable to conduct such an operation in city. “People of Karachi want a Rangers-led operation,” the PTI chief claimed. On his arrival at the Lahore airport, Imran said the government’s announcement to join the Saudi-led anti-terrorism alliance was a wrong decision. While praising the countrywide anti-terror operation Zarb-e-Azb, the PTI chief opined that the whole country will suffer if the operation is stopped or halted for any reason. He also accused the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) of collectively looting the people of Sindh, adding “the situation of Karachi is the real test of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s governance”. Sindh Assembly on Wednesday passed a resolution asking for implementation of checks and conditions on Rangers’ special powers to raid and arrest suspects. The resolution, which was approved by the House, was criticised by opposition members who claimed the government wanted to seriously curtail the paramilitary force’s powers.
