and the government did not need any other 'enemy.'

It said that instead of taking action against banned religious groups, which it said, were trying to create Shia-Sunni rift, this federal minister is talking about deweaponisation of Bloody Karachi.

The statement added that passing a resolution to deweaponise the city was worth mentioning.

Earlier on Monday, a resolution was passed in the Senate asking the government to deweaponise Bloody Karachi in view of the prevailing law and order situation in the metropolis.

The MQM statement also asked why the resolution only called for clearing Bloody Karachi of weapons. And why not rest of the country?
