Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah in a statement released Wednesday said only an “insane person can think to approach any foreign country, particularly India,” to intervene in Karachi, in an implicit reference to Altaf Hussain's recent speech to workers in Dallas.
“All political parties had unanimously agreed in presence of civil and military leadership to weed out terrorists, criminals and outlaws from the country in general and from Karachi in particular,” said the chief minister, praising police and Rangers for their "unforgettable sacrifices for restoration of peace in Karachi.”
“When peace has returned to the city, an unconstitutional demand for deployment of Nato and UN forces in Karachi was made by Altaf Hussain,” added Qaim.
“No one should invite any other country and no other country has any right to interfere in the internal affairs of Pakistan.”
The chief minister categorically stated that the targeted operation in Karachi is not against any political party, group or leader but against terrorists, criminals and outlaws.
“With the joint efforts of Sindh police, Rangers, agencies and with the backing of Pakistan Army we have controlled crime substantially,” he said.
“We would not tolerate if any attempt is made to make the targeted operation controversial and the demands made against the sovereignty of the country.”
Syed Qaim Ali Shah said “this city belongs to each and every one of us. We, as the residents of Karachi owe our thanks to the law enforcing agencies for their extraordinary efforts to restore peace in the city.”
“The Sindh government on its part has substantially increased the salaries of police officials, equipped them with latest gadgets and imparted specialised training to increase their efficiency,” Shah said.
The chief minister also said that Urdu speaking people living in Sindh are Sindhis.
