ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf’s (PTI’s) chairman Imran Khan on Thursday said that Karachi issue will not be resolved until the police department is depoliticized.
While talking to media in Islamabad he said that decisions made under National Action Plan (NAP) should be implemented to refrain from such incidents.
Khan expressed grief and sorrow over the tragic Karachi incident and said that the attack has badly shaken the whole country and urged to adopt a firm resolve to eliminate such terror elements.
Furthermore, he also expressed that criminal activities declined in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) after recruitment of police officials on merit.
He said Rangers alone are not the solution to Karachi’s law and order situation. It [Rangers operation] is like using Disprin to treat cancer,” Khan told reporters.
“This will only provide temporary relief, but the problem will be resolved when the policing system is improved,” he added.
Khan said target killers are roaming with impunity in the metropolis.
“The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and N-League both call one party ‘terrorists’ and take action against them. Then when it suits them, they unite with them to save their seats,” he said, in an apparent reference to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), whose party headquarters was raided by Rangers personnel in March.
“Unless we go against whoever is involved in terrorism, unless we protect witnesses and unless we implement the National Action Plan, we will keep on condoling with people,” Khan said.
