Sindh Government has utterly failed in its duty to protect citizens and seems unconcerned by the worsening situation
MQM Founder and Leader Mr Altaf Hussain has demanded Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to declare martial law in Sindh as the Sindh Government has utterly failed in its responsibility to bring peace and protect life and property of people, particularly in Karachi. He made this demand while speaking about the deteriorating law and order situation in Karachi on different news channels.
Mr Hussain said that the Prime Minister should immediately advise the President of Pakistan to declare martial law in the province of Sindh.
He said, “At times difficult and unpopular decisions have to be taken to protect citizens.”
Mr Hussain also urged on the Rangers to allow the people to use barriers to protect their neighbourhoods.
He added if the Prime Minister was of the view that the decision to declare martial law in Sindh was not correct, the government should issue arms license to the people of Karachi to protect themselves from terrorists.”
Mr Hussain expressed his deep concerns on the rising incidents of targeted killings in Karachi and said that the law and order situation was worsening day by day. Apparently the Sindh Government had handed over the city to terrorists belonging to various sectarian outfits and Taliban.
Mr Hussain said, “The Sindh Government is completely unconcerned and insensitive to the situation in the city. It appears that there is no one to look after the affairs of Karachi.”
“Elements behind incidents of targeted killings do not want peace in Karachi.”
“Population of Karachi has increased manifold while the police force lacked the manpower and resources to handle the situation. Instead of hiring clean people in the police force, the provincial government has inducted criminal elements and deputed them on important positions. These police officers having shady background are patronizing and protecting criminals in the city
