Sindh Information Minister Shazia Mari has said that the ongoing Lyari operation will continue until the elimination of all terrorist gangs from the area.
She was addressing a press conference at the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Karachi Media Cell on Wednesday.
Rejecting the perception that the Lyari operation was launched on the wishes of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Marri said the PPP government is ready to launch operations in all parts of the city for the eradication of criminals, extortionists and target killers.
Marri said the PPP government will address the problems faced by the common citizen of Lyari. The government will call the Rangers personnel in the Lyari operation if the need arises, she added.
“Lyari will remain the hub of PPP forever and the elements involved in burning down pictures of party leaders and martyrs are terrorists and people will never recognise them as their leaders,” she said.
Without taking any names, Mari criticised the behaviour of PML-F’s Marvi Rashdi, saying that her immature attitude could not break the sprit of reconciliation.
