State Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali on Sunday said that Karachi operation would not be stopped due to blackmailing of the provincial government.

Speaking at an event in Faisalabad, the minister said that the government still has an option on the issue of Rangers’ powers in Karachi. He said that the Sindh government may act dishonestly but the federation stands with Pakistan Army and Rangers.

Ali pledged that the blood of martyrs would not go in vain and that the Karachi operation would be continued according to measures taken by Chaudhry Nisar.

He reiterated that government’s main agenda is elimination of terrorism and crime from the state and assured that the Karachi operation was not against any political entity but against militants. He added that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) should not forget the sacrifice of Benazir Bhutto.
