KARACHI: Director General Sindh Rangers Maj Gen Ijaz Chaudhry has
said that the external element cannot be ruled out in the present poor
law and order situation in Karachi.
Addressing a press
conference at the Sindh Rangers headquarters here on Tuesday Gen Ijaz
said the fact that one of the nabbed terrorists Ajmal Pahari has
admitted receiving training from the Indian agents is a clear evidence
of the foreign elements involved in sabotaging peace of the city.
“If
the government keeps entrusting Rangers with the powers they have at
present, they would continue operation against criminal elements with
full force and would eliminate them from the city,” assured Maj Gen
Ijaz Chaudhry.
Because of the Rangers’ effective operation,
incidents of violence have declined considerably, said the chief of the
Rangers but at the same time he warned that the criminal elements could
revive their activities. He made it clear that the Rangers were
conducting anti-criminal operation carefully and the residents of the
city need not worry about that.
DG Rangers to the queries of
the journalists said he could not go into details however, he said the
situation in Karachi was clear as everyone knew where the weapons were
being imported from and who were using them. He said one of the reasons
behind the delay in crackdown against criminals was because the
insurgents had gone underground.
He admitted that the operation
was a temporary measure and a permanent strategy was required for
elimination of criminal elements from the city. He assured that an
indiscriminate prompt action would continue in the city. A large number
of target killers have been arrested while many are still at large, he
said. Online
