The advisor said Sindh government has full confidence on Pakistan army, adding that ongoing operation in Karachi against criminal elements would continue.
“We appreciate Rangers and the gains they have made in the security operation are undeniable”, Chandio said, adding that the Sindh government is not a hurdle in the extension of Rangers’ special powers in the province.
