In a delebrate effort, he said, a tense environment is being created in the city just ahead of the general elections to manipulate the polls. "It is an attempt to reduce the turnout on the polling day," he said.
The city cannot sustain law and order problem anymore, he warned and demanded for a judicial investigation into the violent clash between the MQM and PPP.
