ISLAMABAD: The federal government has agreed in principle to form a parliamentary committee to monitor the ongoing operation in Karachi and ensure its transparency.
“The final decision will be taken by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a day or two,” official sources privy to the developments told Daily Express.
PM Nawaz Sharif, who heads the National Apex Committee supervising the ongoing operation against the terrorists, extortionists and target killers aiming at bringing peace all over the country, is confident that the parliamentary committee will yield better results apart from ensuring complete transparency, the officials added.
“The committee that will be constituted in consultation with leaders of parliamentary parties and will work in coordination with the apex committee in Sindh,” sources revealed.
They maintained that the apex committee will take into confidence the proposed parliamentary monitoring committee regarding the arrests being made in Karachi, their possible affiliation with any political group and the allegations upon which the person is arrested.
“This practice will help the apex committee to ensure transparency in the operation and address any complaints from political parties as the government is determined to ensure impartiality and carry on the operation without any discrimination,” they said.
The formation of a parliamentary committee to look after Karachi operation is one of the conditions put forward by MQM to withdraw resignations of its members of parliament submitted last week.
