Conspiracy to sabotage peace in Karachi: Sharjeel Memon

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.
