The Karachi operation is absolutely apolitical and without any discrimination.
Corps Commander Karachi Lt Gen Naveed Mukhtar stated this while speaking as a chief guest at the passing out parade of Rangers recruits at the Training Centre and School of Pakistan Rangers, Sindh, on Friday.
As many as 1,030 jawans passed out after successfully after completing their training. The corps commander reviewed the parade and distributed prizes among those who excelled during the training.
In his address on the occasion, he said the Karachi operation was absolutely non-political and without any discrimination and free from any expediency or pressure. The corps commander said that targets of this operation were terrorists, their facilitators as well as the sponsors. No stone would be left unturned to achieve these targets, he added.
He also appealed to the people that as part of their social responsibility they should keep a vigilant eye on happenings around them and in case of any unusual activity they should inform the concerned organisations.
The corps commander also congratulated the passing out jawans and said they were institutions in themselves and that their every act would bring good name to their organisation.
He appreciated Pakistan Rangers, Sindh, and said its success was due to its leadership and effective training. The corps commander said that owing to the Rangers and other law enforcement agencies (LEAs), the law and order situation in Karachi was heading towards improvement and the confidence of the people was being restored. “We will not let the sacrifices of these institutions go in vain,” he added.
Earlier, Director General of Pakistan Rangers, Sindh, Maj Gen Bilal Akbar, received the corps commander. Senior officers of Rangers were also present on the occasion.
