Mumtaz Bhutto for army intervention in Karachi

Published Updated

Chairman, Sindh National Front, Mumtaz Ali Bhutto has also called for army intervention to restore peace in Karachi. "It is the law enforcing agencies to restore peace, but if the police and rangers cannot stop killing of hundreds of innocent people, any further delay in calling in army would be more harmful," he said in a statement on Saturday.
"More than 4500 people have fallen prey to the target killings in Karachi alone during the three and half a year rule of Asif Zardari, but nothing concrete has been done except seeking reports and holding meetings at Bilawal House, Governor's house, Chief minister's House and Presidency. This has caused further damage. Mumtaz Bhutto said all this has proved that these people are incapable to run the government. "The country is being destroyed by bloody violence, and by refusing to step down the rulers are proving to be the enemies of country.
