Thirty-one extortionists arrested in Karachi, says Malik
2012-03-19
[Dawn] Interior Minister Rehman Malik
Pak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men.
said on Sunday that the police has jugged 31 people jugged in extortion in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It may be the largest city in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
, DawnNews reported.

Extortion has been taking place since 15 years, however, the situation has been improving since the government took strict measures, Malik stated.

The minister also met with Chief Minister of Sindh, Syed Qaim Ali Shah and discussed with him the issue of extortion in Bloody Karachi.

Talking to the media after the meeting, Malik said that murders in Bloody Karachi have been stopped but the extortion problem is still continuing.

Qaim Ali Shah also said that Bloody Karachi's situation is improving and further stated that MQM is an ally of the government and will together participate in the next elections.
