Rangers vow to target armed wings of political parties in Karachi
2015-12-27
[DAWN] KARACHI: After a lull ostensibly arising out of perceived controversy over Rangers' policing powers between the Centre and the Sindh Government, the paramilitary force has vowed to continue the operation with "full force" against hit mans, Lions of Islam and other criminal elements.

According to a statement issued by Rangers, it has started conducting targets raids for the arrest of suspects belonging to banned religious outfits and 'militant wings' presumably associated with the political parties.
Wouldn't it make sense to dismantle any political party that has an "armed" or "militant" wing?
The paramilitary force claimed on Saturday to have conducted targeted raids on alleged hideouts of banned outfits and 'militant wings' and announced the arrest of six suspects.

"These arrests were made in Bilal Colony, Lyari, al-Falah, Gulistan-e-Jauhar and Gulberg respectively," the statement added.

The Rangers spokesperson said that the apprehended suspects belonged to banned holy warrior groups and one of them was an 'extortionist' belonging to 'the holy warrior wing' of a political party. However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome...
the official declined to name the political party.

The paramilitary force vowed to "continue the operation with full force till arrest of last terrorist, targeted killer and other criminals".

The Rangers urged the citizens of Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
to keep strict vigil on suspicious persons in their surroundings and inform them on Rangers helpline 1101 through phone or SMS.

After much deliberation, the interior ministry gave a 60-day extension in the special policing powers of Rangers in Sindh, after a meeting at the ministry chaired by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan
...Currently the Interior Minister of Pakistain. He is the senior leader of the Pak Moslem League (N) and a close aide to Nawaz Uncle Fester Sharif. He is noted for his vocal anti-American railing in the National Assembly. However (comma) Khan told the U.S. ambassador that he was in fact pro-American but he and the PML-N would have to be critical of US actions in order to remain publicly credible. Khan cited his wife and children's US citizenship as proof, which means he's lying to one side or the other and probably both. He wears a wig, but you probably guessed that. since hair doesn't grow naturally in that shape or texture...

"The provincial assembly does not reserve the authority to amend the federal laws," the interior ministry said in a statement.
