Karachi Rangers raided the residence of senior MQM leader Dr. Farooq Sattar as the paramilitary troops entered PIB Colony area to conduct a search operation in the wee hours of Monday morning.
Before the search operation they removed the security camp setup outside Sattar’s residence as the Rangers contingent cordoned off the area.
MQM leaders and workers rushed to the area after receiving the information.
Later on, speaking to media, Farooq Sattar said that he is unable to understand the motive behind the Rangers operation.
He further said that an MQM worker and his neighbor were arrested by the Rangers during the operation while his licensed weapon was also seized.
He further said “We are saddened over the move as we have always supported targeted operation in Karachi. I called Director General Rangers but was unable to contact him.”
