Qaim briefs Bilawal Bhutto over law and order  

KARACHI: Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah called on Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari at Bilawal House and briefed him about the law and order situation and the provincial budget today (Saturday).

Bilawal, on the occasion, stressed that law and order situation should be the first priority of the government and any loopholes in the security of the citizens may be plugged and police and other law enforcing agencies may be put into more vigilant gear to stop the terrorists and other criminal elements to harm the society.

He said that war against terrorism was going on all over the country thus incident of terrorism in Karachi including the killing of renowned Qawwal Amjad Sabri and kidnapping of Owais Shah were not mere a law and order issue.

Qaim Ali Shah said that adequate resources are being provided for maintenance of law and order and operation against terrorism being funded from the provincial resources.

He said that some Federal Ministers were trying to define the national action plan against terrorism on the province to province basis.

“They are trying to describe the incidents of terrorism in Sindh as law and order problem to blame the PPP government while similar acts of crimes in other provinces are treated as terrorism,” he added.

Qaim Ali Shah said that lack of cooperation in the fields of finances and law enforcing was causing difficulties for the provincial government to cope the situation but pledged that PPP government in Sindh would try its best to pool all its resources to defeat terrorism and their sponsors with the cooperation of law enforcing machines.
