Aziz, 30, was arrested on February 8 when he was en route to his wedding and allegedly subjected to torture during interrogation.
MQM’s concerns regarding the Karachi operation were also discussed. MQM had claimed that the operation was targeting the party specifically, adding that 45 MQM members have disappeared since last year.
A report on the Karachi operation was also demanded by the prime minister.
Nawaz advised Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to go to Karachi to assess the situation.
Karachi operation
The targeted operation started in Karachi after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif visited the metropolitan in September last year in a bid to devise a strategy to curb violence.
With the provincial government on board, the prime minister had given a go-ahead to the paramilitary force to conduct raids and arrest criminals with the help of the police. Subsequently, the operation began on September 7, 2013.

Sorry couldn't focus on the news story or comments section after looking at that picture....
"Alleged" torture? Are you for real ET?
Extrajudicial killing is the norm for our LEAs. Look at what happened to Sarfaraz Shah or Taxi Driver. Look at the mass graves in Baluchistan. Hear from the thousands of mothers/wives affected by the 90s Karachi Operation.
@Shamy: I think that even your dreams you see the other party. You should not forget that this party is the representative of majority of People in Karachi. Fear the day when this party call for civil disobedience. If this party gives a call millions of people will come on streeets and take law in thier hand and then no police,ranger or army will be able to do any thing against peoples power.
Yousaf Raza Gillani and Rehman Malik were 1000 times better than Nawaz Sharif and Ch Nisar duo. Country is burning due to the inaction of the latter and both of them are busy installing their henchmen in PCB and NADRA. Total breakdown of state apparatus.
where is the over sight commeette comprised of city elders , which nawaz sharif promised when he embarked on karachi operation
once again uza syed my gratitude for writing for most prosecuted people on ethnic lines
It's not the fault of the police when every other criminal they catch belongs to a "certain" political party.
Very well said Uza Syed.
