The federal government has finally decided to take targeted action against extortionists and target killers in the metropolis. The decision was taken following Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan's visit to Karachi. During the visit, Nisar was briefed about the security situation while criminal groups involved in targeted killing were identified.
Meanwhile, the security agencies also recommended conducting targeted operation in Karachi to restore peace in the city. Keeping in view the recommendations, the government has decided to take indiscriminate action against target killers on the basis of intelligence sharing. However, a final decision will be taken after taking all stakeholders including political parties and cabinet onboard.
