Government has failed to ensure peace in Karachi: Nawaz

The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif Monday said that the government has failed in restoration of peace in Karachi as several people fall prey to violence on daily basis.
While meeting with Chief of Sunni Tehrik (ST) Sarwat Aijaz Qadri, Nawaz Sharif said that there would be peace in Karachi if the orders of the Supreme Court (SC) were implemented in letter and spirit.
Both leaders discussed the overall situation of the country.
The PML-N chief said that the restoration of peace in Karachi would be his party’s priority if came into power.
Qadri also condoled the death of Nawaz Sharif’s brother, Abbas Sharif in the meeting.
Sources said Nawaz Sharif told Qadri that they wanted to take all the patriotic parties along in order to rid the country of corruption, poverty, inflation and other problems. He said opposition leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan will hold negotiations with all the opposition parties for formation of the caretaker setup.
Nawaz said holding of elections on time has become inevitable for solution of multiple crises facing the country.
