Pakistan Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has ruled out the military action in Karachi, saying it was not a solution to the ongoing bloodbath, as the problem could be tackled by other means.
"You can get the desired results through the optimal use of Rangers and police", The Nation quoted Gilani, as saying.
He said he was aware of rumours about army deployment in Karachi.
He clarified that the army would be deployed in Karachi only at the provincial government's request.
The government will provide all possible assistance to Sindh to restore law and order in Karachi, he added.
Though Gilani admitted that the Rangers' morale was low the moment due to the recent incidents, 'they were patriotic and performing their duties diligently'.
He assured that all culprits involved in the Karachi violence would be brought to book, irrespective of their party affiliation and added that all matters must be resolved through consensus. (ANI)
