Karachi operation watching only govt's interests: Farooq Sattar

MQM leader Dr Farooq Sattar has said that Sindh government is launching operation in the city for its vested interests.

While talking to the media at Lahore Airport, he said that everybody knows about the dens of terrorists.

Law enforcement agencies must exterminate all the secret hideouts of terrorists who have nothing to do with the peace of the country; rather their aims are to horrify citizens in the name of so-called slogans and manifestos of justice.

He contended that all stake holders and political parties should make endeavours to make the military operation in Karachi successful, adding that this job can’t be made successful without cooperation and coordination of the MQM which is real representative of people in the metropolis.

He said that the MQM offered cooperation in this regard but the Sindh government is taking the issue with irresolution.

It seems that the MQM is being targeted as it had demanded an operation against terrorists without discrimination.

Sattar urged upon Sindh government to take measures for dispelling such an impression of politicized targeted operation in the city.

He said his party was never consulted about the targeted actions, adding that had the govt sought cooperation from all political parties, the targeted action would have been a success from the very beginning.

He alleged that the ongoing Karachi operation was not directed against criminals, as every single child of Karachi knew where the crime dens were across the city.
