Karachi, In a determined response to escalating street crime in Karachi, Asif Khan, Deputy Secretary Information of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Karachi Division and Convenor for the East District, has assured that the party and the Sindh government are prioritizing peace and safety for the city’s residents. This commitment comes against a backdrop of increasing concern among citizens over theft, robbery, target killings, and other criminal activities that have surged in recent times.

According to Pakistan Peoples Party, Asif Khan conveyed these assurances during interactions with various PPP delegations at the liaison office of NA-235. Discussions focused on the distressing rise in street crime within Karachi, particularly in areas like Gulistan Johar, and deliberated on the broader implications for the city’s law and order situation. Khan reminisced about the PPP’s past efforts in combating criminal elements through targeted operations, which had significantly contributed to a period of relative peace in Karachi.

The Deputy Secretary emphasized the historical sacrifices made by PPP workers and the families of Karachi, who have endured tremendous loss for the sake of peace. He highlighted the PPP’s resolve in not letting these sacrifices go in vain and acknowledged the present challenges posed by the resurgence of criminal activities under various guises, which are causing widespread anxiety among Karachi’s populace.

In an attempt to combat the current spike in criminal incidents, Khan outlined the Sindh government’s strategy, which includes the establishment of three task forces aimed at crime prevention. He reaffirmed that the restoration of law and order remains the top priority for both the Sindh government and the PPP, with firm plans in place to take control of the law and order situation across the province, including Karachi, in the near future.
