According to sources, the ongoing Rangers-led operation against criminal elements in Karachi and recent key arrests carried out in Sindh were also discussed during the meeting between the prime minister and Army chief today. Prime Minister of AJK Chaudhry Abdul Majid welcomed Pakistani PM.

“So it is a primary concern to us and especially with the uptick of the violence in Kabul, this is certainly a priority for us to see that Pakistan takes a very aggressive approach in dealing with the Haqqani network and other actors”, said the official, privy to the conversations that Rice had with Pakistani leadership during her day-long trip to Islamabad.

Commenting on Karachi operation, PM Nawaz said law and order situation in the port city has improved and Karachiites are pleased over it. A successful operation against terrorism is continuing and its achievements are being acknowledged by the entire world.

“Nawaz Sharif stated that his government is drawing attention of the United Nations and the global community towards these violations and threats to regional peace”.
