Senior MQM-P leader Syed Aminul Haq criticized the Sindh government’s inability to curb rising street crime in Karachi, saying that daily lives are lost to violent muggers. “Over a hundred citizens have been killed this year by robbers, while the Sindh government remains indifferent,” Aminul Haq stated.
He accused provincial ministers of painting an unrealistic picture of peace in Karachi through orchestrated press conferences, while also alleging that non-local criminals involved in these crimes receive ethnic protection from the Sindh government. Aminul Haq further highlighted that instead of safeguarding citizens, the Sindh police misuse snap-checking to harass and exploit the public.
He claimed that officers from remote areas of Sindh lack the capacity to protect Karachi’s residents and urged the Prime Minister and Federal Interior Minister to call an immediate meeting to address Karachi’s worsening security situation.
