End to targeted killings top priority: governor

Sindh Governor Dr Ishrat ul Ebad Khan said that elimination of targeted killings from the provincial metropolis was the top priority of the government. The Governor was talking to journalists after offering Eid prayers at Polo Ground on Saturday. He said that “the law enforcing agencies were actively engaged for the maintenance of law and order situation in the city. Instances of targeted killing in Karachi are a cause of serious concern for both Karachittes and the people hailing from other parts of the country”. He said that action was being taken and would be taken against the killers for reducing families to dust and for disturbing peace by taking law in their hands. He said that strict orders had been delivered to all DPO’s to ensure peace, life and property. The governor was accompanied by senior ANP leader Amir Nawab and PPP Leader Mirza Ishtiaq Beg.
