Rangers have not been authorized to truly carry out a full-fledged operation against the Karachi terrorists.
They can restore the piece within a day... if they have a will to do so
unfortunately everyone cares about own interest instead of country and City, hope rangers and everyone of us will soon realize responsibility before its too late.
Unless political parties armed wings are eradicated, Rangers cann't restore peace in Karachi.
As if they have succeed in bringing law and order since 4 years.
