RANGERS BRUTALITY: The district bar association has demanded of the government to take to task the Rangers personnel involved in the brutal killing of an unarmed youth in Karachi.

“We have no words to condemn this brutal murder of the unarmed youth in Karachi by the Rangers’ personnel.

Of course, it is not a crime to be pardoned at any cost and to eliminate such culture in future the Rangers men involved in the brutal killing should immediately be taken to task,” said a resolution, passed unanimously by the bar association at its meeting on Friday.

The meeting, which was held with Naseem Khan advocate, president of the bar in the chair, was attended largely by lawyers who expressed anger over the Karachi killing.

Speaking at a press conference after the meeting the Naseem Khan, former president Shahjahan Khan Swati, general secretary Malik Nasar Khan and others said it was highly astonishing for the nation as well for the lawyers that the personnel of the law-enforcement agencies were involved in the killing of innocent people.
