Nisar hints at targeted operation in Karachi Says Karachi can be redeemed if stakeholders can rise above politics and take unified stance. KARACHI (Azad Dunya News) – Addressing a press conference Wednesday here Interior Minister Ch Nisar said extortionists and target killers had been identified in Karachi and unfortunately most of them have political affiliations. Nisar said Karachi situation was worsening day by day and urgent action was needed. “Peace cannot be restored in Karachi by issuing political statements or by giving briefings, it requires political will and consensus,” he said. He said federal cabinet would discuss the details of the operations and final decision would be taken after consultation with CM Sindh and Governor Sindh. “Chief Minister Sindh will have to lead the operation and Rangers will be at his disposal,” he said. Nisar said DG Rangers was ready to take up the responsibility but he should be given a free hand and there should be no political pressure on him, Nisar added. Deploying army in Karachi streets would not be a wise decision, he said. Nisar claimed that situation in Karachi would definitely change after the operation. He said Sindh Governor‚ Chief Minister and heads of intelligence and law enforcing agencies would be invited to the Cabinet meeting. The minister said there was no need for whole scale operation in Karachi as a number of target killers‚ extortionists and criminals have already been identified and the city can get rid of these elements in a non-political and transparent targeted operation. He said the Government would be proposing that law and order being the provincial subject‚ the Chief Minister of the province should act as captain of the team and all federal agencies and resources would be put at his disposal to ensure success of the operation.
