“Nobody will be allowed to indulge in crime on the pretext of religion and politics,” warned Federal Minister Pervaiz Rashid while talking to reporters at the President House yesterday.
He has said criminals associated with any group would not enjoy any relaxation on political basis.
The senator said the law enforcement agencies, including Rangers, had no role in politics and they were taking actions according to the unanimous decisions of the democratically-elected government.
If anybody had complaint regarding the operation in Karachi, he could approach the independent judiciary, the minister said, adding, “We do politics of reconciliation and not that of expediency.”
If any criminal used the flag and office of any political party, then it was obligation of that political party to surrender the person to the law, Pervaiz Rashid said.
He said the state was fully supporting the Rangers operation in Karachi and nobody would be allowed to go against the law and undermine its supremacy.
“I believe that all the political parties in parliament will back the law enforcement agencies and cooperate with state institutions to ensure supremacy of law,” he remarked.
