KARACHI: Federal and Sindh governments on Sunday decided to give a free hand to police and rangers to take indiscriminate action against those who were disturbing order in Karachi.
Just when you think life is about as exciting as it can be, life proves you wrong.
The decision was made at a meeting between Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah and Interior Minister Rehman Malik. According to a handout, Malik said that extortionists, land and weapon mafias were involved in disrupting peace in the city. He asked all political parties to remove their party flags and banners from the city "otherwise police will do so".

Malik said that political parties could hoist their flags only on their special occasions with a prior permission of the local administration.

He said a decision had been made to take action against criminal elements in political parties, adding that the FC, rangers and police would act against miscreants without any discrimination. He assured businessmen that law enforcement agencies would provide them complete protection.
