ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Monday claimed that the federal government is spending about Rs 9 billion annually on Karachi operation. In an apparent reply to his critics, Nisar said that some forces in the Sindh government are trying to give impression that the federal government is not spending a single penny on Karachi operation. “I must clarify that aside from spending a huge amount on intelligence agencies in the province, the federal government is spending about Rs 9 billion annually on Rangers in Sindh,” said Nisar in a statement issued on Monday. The interior minister was of the view that some people are using the name of Sindh to hide their own shortcomings and when an institution tries to hold them accountable, “they term it an attack on Sindh”. “The actual enemies of Sindh are those who have occupied lands and resources of the province for years,” asserted Nisar, adding that his press conference had become due as the provincial government was delaying the matter of extension of special powers granted to Rangers in Sindh despite a week of meetings and discussions in this regard.
