KARACHI: The recent wave of violence, target killing and bombing were part of a well thought out conspiracy, Sindh Information Minsiter Sharjeel Memon told media persons at a press conference on Friday, Express News reported.
Pointing towards security measures adopted on Friday to avoid any untoward incidents and to clamp down on terrorists, Memon said that strict security measures will be adopted for Muharram. He added that security measures implemented on the ground on Friday are similar to those that will be implemented for Muharram 9 and 10.
“Will not allow the plans of those people want to see the city burn,” Memon said.
The information minister added that they had been given a confidential briefing on security measures adopted for ensuring mourning processions were held peacefully and without incident. He added that in addition to the city government’s control room, the police has its own control room and processions will be monitored through these control rooms.
Computerisation of arms licences
Sindh government will soon start the process of computerising arms licences, information minister Sharjeel Memon said.
Memon said that the process of computerisation will begin after Muharram. He said that they will announce a stipulated time period for people to submit their old licences to be re-scrutinised before being computerised.
The information minister warned that any person who fails to submit his license to be scrutinised and computerised within the allotted period, their licence will be cancelled.
He added that as many as 30 people are arrested with illegal weapons every day.

Security measures, what security measures. After almost five years of wrecking the country financially, economically and socially with thousands of lives lost and even more injured, he talks of beefing up security. What a fabulous 'national satire' it makes. The names and faces of terrorists and their party affiliations is never given out. All militants caught are released or not convicted for fear that present and future alliances remain unaffected. Therefore, this 'biradari' among politicians is responsible for this dispirited state of the nation. The PPP in almost five years has not done any practical good of long lasting benefit other than the BISP, which essentially is an election gimmick. What good are new resolutions and acts if they remain unimplemented? After all the nation cannot cook and eat them or can they? Salams.
he is right... PPP + MQM + ANP are doing conspiracy!
Also tell us the political and ethnic affiliations of these people. The figures are useless.
Bad! Bad politician! No conspiracy talk! ...Someone get me a rolled up newspaper.
O ! grow up.
Why PPP Government was sleeping during 4 years and 8 months of its tenure and when hardly 4 months are left for general elections, Sharjeel is speaking for computerisation of arms licences after uncounted people have been killed and injured due to terrorists acts.
THis is for sure that in the next general elections, PPP is going to be one of the minority party which will be restricted to interior Sindh only.
Just wait and see the results of general elections and see the results of general elections and recall what I have written today.
Talk less, do more!!!!
