Is your Zakat ending up with terrorists?

Rangers raided Pakistan Sunni Tehreek (PST)’s headquarters in Karachi for a second time this week, confiscating records pertaining to Fitra and Zakat collection.

The early Sunday morning raid comes days after a similar raid on the facility by Rangers on June 18, 2015, when the paramilitary outfit detained nearly a dozen ST members. Those ST members remain in Rangers’ detention, however no arrests were made in the raid yesterday.

This is the third such raid on ST headquarters since the Karachi operation first began on September 5, 2013. Following Sunday’s raid, the Rangers did not issue a statement, as has become customary for the outfit.

However, sources within the paramilitary unit said that the raid had been conducted based on information collected while questioning the detained ST men.

SINDH, RANGERS ON SAME PAGE:

In the meanwhile, Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah on Sunday said that the Sindh government and Rangers are on the same page with regard to the war on terror.

Speaking to the media in Garhi Khuda Bux on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Benazir Bhutto, the Sindh CM went on to say that the media has highly exaggerated reports of the letter that was written to the Rangers. He further said that any minor differences will be set aside, adding that the operation will move forward as it has been going on.
