investment in Pakistan. There is need to bring in more and more foreign investment so as to repay the loans. He pointed out that there was 15.1 percent investment against the GDP. He said there would more and more industries after the end of the gas and power crisis. He said the power crisis would end in 2017, while the current would be far better.
There could be no political and economic stability in the country unless there is peace, law order in Karachi, said former governor of Sindh Lt Gen (R) Moeenuddin Haidar, while speaking in the programme. He said the Karachi operation is part of the Operation Zarb-e-Azb. He pointed out that banned organisations, Lyari gang war and other armed group are active. The Rangers have not interest in politics and are engaged in operation against terrorists, target killers, extortionists, kidnappers for ransom and other criminals. There are certain people in Karachi who offer to handover the culprits from among them but never do so. The Rangers are authorised to go anywhere to arrest the accused. They have nothing to do with politics and political parties may continue their election campaign.
Yet another speaker in the programme was a leader of the MQM Faisal Sabzwari. He said no FIR was registered against the rally of a banned organisation but FIRs and cases were registered against the MQM. He said the MQM was extending full cooperation in the Karachi operation. This should be taken as extending of our cooperation that there is no resistance even after arrest of thousands of workers, missing of numerous activists and extra-judicial killings.
Muttahida expressed reservations on 40 or 50 occasions even after more than 5,000 raids. He said the Muttahida expels from the party the workers involved in social evils and those not following the party discipline. He said it not fair to blame the whole party for the fault of an individual. It is not possible to continue the election campaign after raids of the Rangers, he said, adding that the political opponents of the MQM are gaining due to the arrests of the MQM workers. Sabzwari said the MQM supports all actions taken to crush the criminals.
Geo News reporter Aizaz Syed, speaking in the programme, said the Ministry of Interior has decided to register murder case against the three arrested accused in Pakistan. The three men had gone to Britain from Pakistan, therefore, it has been decided to register case against them in Pakistan. The investigating agencies already have confession statements of the three in connection with Dr Imran Farooq’s murder.
