KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain, on Wednesday called for a public referendum over Rangers operation that is being carried out against criminal mafias in Karachi.
The demand was made by the MQM chief in a statement from London. “There is no public mandate behind Rangers actions and operations in the city. Therefore, a referendum should be held to know public opinion,” Altaf Hussain said.
He also demanded that a committee of judges should be formed to oversee Rangers actions.
Yesterday, the MQM chief asked Chief Minister Sindh to pass a bill in Sindh Assembly against Rangers’ stay in the province.
It must be noted that Rangers havve launched a crackdown against land mafia and other crimial elements in the city while the paramilitary force personnel also raided MQM headquarters on March 11, arresting several target killers and criminals.
