No can do, says ArbabLAHORE: Sindh Chief Minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim said on Friday it was almost impossible to make Karachi a weapons-free city, Geo television reported. Addressing a press conference in Karachi, Rahim said the government would have to launch a massive operation against illegal weapons. He said the people of Karachi were against giving ethnic colour to the May 12 violence.
Staff Report adds: Rahim reiterated his stance that instituting an inquiry into the May 12 incidents was not necessary as it would not be in the interest of the city. “The law and order situation would get worse of we instituted an inquiry,” he said, adding that no party would be ready to accept its mistake and would try to make it a political issue. Rahim said that the government would consider conducting an inquiry but it would not be fruitful. “Either all (the political parties) were involved in the incidents or none of them,” he added.
