Govt. will not compromise on Karachi's law and order: Nawaz Sharif

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who chaired a high-level meeting at the Governor House to discuss the issue of the Rangers' deployment in the provincial capital city, said that his government will not compromise on the law and order situation of Karachi at any cost.

According to the Dawn, Sharif and Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif are in Karachi today to sort out the issue of the Rangers' deployment in the city as the term of the paramilitary force's operation expired two days earlier.

The law and order situation of Karachi as well as the rest of Sindh also came under discussion.

While chairing a high-level meeting at Governor House, Nawaz Sharif said, "There will be no compromise on the law and order situation of Karachi."

"The Karachi operation should have been initiated eight years ago," he added during the meeting, adding that the decision to undertake the operation was made with consensus.

Sharif said that business activities have faced a boost after the law and order situation improved and that foreign investment was being redirected to the country from abroad.

The Prime Minister, however, expressed his disappointment on the weak prosecution and investigation procedures that are being implemented in Karachi at present.
