Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah said on Sunday that he would not claim that his government has succeeded in curbing crime completely.
Speaking to a press conference at the Chief Minister’s House, Shah said that he has succeeded in stopping linguistic riots and eliminating targeted killings in the city. He said that nobody would be allowed to create a ‘no go’ area in Karachi.
“Our coalition partners have agreed on a targeted operation in the city. They have promised that they will not support any criminals. Strong action will be taken against criminals in Orangi Town,” he added.
He said that if injustice is done during a targeted operation in Lyari, it would be investigated. “There will be no compromise on the law & order situation in Lyari,” he added.
He also said that his government was striving to provide “roti, kapra aur makaan” (food, clothing and shelter), for which important steps have been taken to reduce unemployment in Sindh.
Around 1.6 million youth in the province have been provided with training, and they have started different kinds of jobs, he added.
Shah said, “More than 65 percent population of the province depends on the agriculture sector. The government is taking steps to strengthen this sector. During the past four years, growers’ conditions have stabilised.”
