Federal Minister for Information Senator Pervaiz Rashid said on Thursday that the government would not allow anyone to make the ongoing Karachi operation controversial.
“If someone commits the crime in the name of politics, he will also be taken to task,” he said while talking to a private news channel. He said that the security institutions were rendering sacrifices to make the environment in the city conducive to business and investment. He expressed confidence that the situation in the metropolis will soon normalize and people will be able to lead their lives in a peaceful manner.
Commenting on the apex committees constituted there, Rashid said that objective of the bodies was to discuss and exchange views on the security situation from time to time.
He further said that the government was moving in the right direction and the results of the operation would be completely achieved.
Replying to a question about the PTI chairman’s statement in which he declared 2015 as ‘election year’, Pervaiz Rashid remarked that all past claims of Imran Khan had been proved wrong and said that 2015 was in fact local government (LG) elections.
He also said that the next general elections would be held in the 2018 as per schedule.
The minister said that everyone had witnessed the way in which LG polls were held by Imran Khan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
