Lyari operation
Minister for Food Nadir Magsi raised the issue of a targeted operation in Lyari by the Rangers and police on Thursday. He asked the chief secretary “why Baloch and Sindhi dominated areas are being targeted by police and law enforcement agencies.”
“If action is taken against criminals than why do you people start the operation from Lyari even though the criminals are operating in other parts of the city too,” he asked while terming the recent operation aimed at singling out Lyari.
Responding to Magsi, Ahmed referred to operation conducted in some areas where police and Rangers arrested more than 200 suspects after Abbas Town incident.
