PPP, MQM resolve to end extortion in Karachi

The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leaders met with Sindh Home Minister Manzoor Wassan here on Saturday to discuss measures to effectively tackle the issues of extortion and kidnappings. The MQM leader Farooq Sattar, while talking to media after the meeting, said that they have started off with two constituencies -- NA-249 and NA-252 -- and have called the business representatives of these areas to discuss the matters. "Business life has been crippled. action should be taken against them (miscreants)," said Sattar. He added that not only the police and Rangers will assist the business community to get rid of the extortionists and kidnappers, but committees will also be formed from among the common men to reduce the street crimes. "The black sheep involved in such acts should be exposed," he added.
