Rangers write to SBP for removal of MQM offices in banks

KARACHI: Sindh Rangers have written a letter to State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) telling the institutions to remove offices belonging to Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).

According to the letter, MQM made its offices in branches of different banks since a number of years, further stating that these offices were owned by members belonging to the party’s militant wing.

It was stated in the letter that Supreme Court (SC) also mentioned in the Karachi lawlessness case about governmental departments and banks involved in suspicious activities therefore necessary steps were needed to be taken in order to ensure that buildings belonging to banks and various branches do not get used illegally.

It was mentioned in the letter that Rangers would be at the disposal of the institutions if any hindrance is faced regarding the removal of MQM offices from the banks.
