Police and Rangers have failed to provide security to citizens and the politicians of Karachi should stop their politics of extortion, Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Asma Jahangir said on Monday while speaking to the members of the bar. “The country is in crisis from Karachi to Khyber Pakhunkhwa and politicians should play their role to restore peace,” she said. She said that the government is only engaged in forming useless committees instead of taking the required actions.
“Rangers are only occupying plots and buildings of the educational institutions in Karachi and police leave their posts instead of providing protection to citizens,” she added. She said that the situations in Balochistan and Karachi are similar and this is not a matter in which the chief justice of Pakistan should take suo motu notice or army needs to interfere.
“It is the politicians that can restore peace and harmony in the city,” she added. She said that the judges in the Sindh High Court and other high courts should be appointed on the basis of merit.
