KARACHI: The Supreme Court of Pakistan hearing over the case pertaining to the Abbas Town tragedy declared on Wednesday the report on the de-weaponisation operation in Karachi as unacceptable and summoned the officials of the federal government and intelligence agencies to appear in court on Mar 8, DawnNews reported.

A three-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhamma Chudhry resumed the hearing over Abbas Town tragedy.

During the hearing Chief Justice Iftikhar Chudhry remarked that the Rangers had completely failed in establishing law and order in the city adding that the government did not appear serious over the issue.

He further said that incidents of terrorism continued in the city despite the presence of 11,000 Ranger personnel who enjoyed discretionary powers.

The court issued notices to the officials of the federal government and the intelligence agencies summoning them to appear in court on Mar 8 and instructed the Ranger to submit a detailed report.

The court also instructed for the suspension of Malir police chief SP Rao Anwar.

IG Sindh police Fayyaz Leghari and DIG East Aleem Jafri discharged themselves off their duties after they were reprimanded by Chief Justice Iftikhar Chudhry.
