KARACHI - Pakistan People's Party (PPP) yesterday asked the government to ban all "armed political and religious groups" and launch an impartial campaign to seize illicit weapons in the country.

Expressing grief over the murder of 12-year old Farhan during clashes between two religious groups in New Karachi on Friday, PPP leaders Muzaffar Ali Shujra and Habibuddin Junaidi said it was surprising that the government was making tall claims about restoration of peace in Karachi, despite the fact that illicit lethal weapons were being freely used and clashes were taking place between armed groups. They criticised the government for abandoning a campaign to seize illegal weapons it had launched two years ago.
| The jihadis will kill them for that, of course... |
