He criticised the MQM by saying that the party officials usually make big demands and abruptly deny their own statements.
Shah further commented that a military administration in Karachi can consequently be a big mistake and MQM chief’s demand could be a part of a conspiracy. He further stated that army supervision in the city can undermine democracy.
Earlier in the morning, MQM deputy convener Farooq Sattar also demanded military control in Karachi. He proposed his demand while addressing the National Assembly.
Sattar stated that military administration apparently seems unimportant but only armed forces can control the violence in the city.
MQM chief Altaf Hussain has demanded military supervision in Karachi as a result of continuing violence and target killing in the city. He has expressed his concerns on Sindh government failed protection to the residents of Karachi, especially the business community. He stated that police and rangers have failed to do their job and only armed forces can rescue the city from criminal elements.

If the army does not step in, the Mohajirs will demand that urban areas of Sindh, particularly Karachi, be separated from Pakistan.
Karachi needs to be separated from sind.
all criminals moved to karachi from all over pakistan,they have been helped to move to karachi ,,culprits are same and committed the same crime in east pakistan..Rangers are there but the culprits are using the latest weapons unchecked..who is helping these gangs it is the police and Rangers
As stated many times in the past, Karachi's law and order issues are political in nature. Therefore, involving Army or military administration would prove to be more damaging. If political parties really think Karachi needs 'peace', then why don't they disband their own militant wings in the first place?
This corruption party uses "democracy" baloney to cover it corruption. Its government has destroyed Karachi by its sheer and massive corruption, patronizing of Liyari criminals and incompetence. They should be in jail rather than in assemblies
