ANP demands crackdown on terrorists in Karachi

The Awami National Party (ANP) on Friday called for a targeted operation against terrorists in Karachi, where sudden surge in violence killed 18 people in less than 24 hours. Speaking to reporters outside the Parliament House, ANP Senator Zahid Khan said the Sindh government was responsible to protect life and property of citizens. He said Interior Minister Rehman Malik reaches London whenever something happens in Karachi. The government, he demanded, should crackdown on terrorists in Karachi. The government has failed to maintain law and order, he said, adding that issuing warnings alone would not work. Another ANP senator, Haji Adeel, said that faces of the killers could be seen in the CCTV footage aired by media on Thursday. He said that Karachi should be cleared of illegal arms.
