PESHAWAR:
Leader of the Opposition in Sindh Assembly and Muttahida Qaumi Movement K-P chapter head Khwaja Izharul Hassan has demanded operations in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and interior Sindh, saying National Action Plan (NAP) should not only be applied in Karachi and Fata.
He was speaking at the inauguration ceremony at a government school in the city on Tuesday. The school has recently been renamed after an APS victim.
“A militant arrested in any part of the country is considered a criminal, but if he is caught from Karachi, propagandas would be hatched to prove his links with MQM,” Hassan said. “Law and order in K-P is no good where jailbreaks and extortion have become the order of the day.”
He added all militants have sought refuge in interior Sindh where the NAP should actually be implemented and an operation launched.
Hassan said MQM was a popular party and has spread to the grass-roots level.
“This was proved in the recent local government elections’ result [in Karachi].”
He also criticised the local government system in K-P.
“Powers under the K-P local government system still lie with someone else, not with the local representatives,” he said.
